I had two HDDs in RAID 1. I got a system corrupt or missing problem during boot. So I revert BIOS settings to non RAID, I disconnected each drive separately and I did chkdsk /r for each one. As a result: 1. both of them boot normally in non RAID formation. 2. Only one is booting normally in RAID formation. 3. RAID fails and Intel matrix utility says that the non booting HDD is a member of the RAID 1 chain and that the booting HDD is a NON RAID DISK. What can I do to rebuild the RAID 1 without loosing my data? (MB Gigabyte EP45-DS5, windows XP sp3). Thanks in advance!!

What model HDD's are you using? Some HDD's, such as WD's caviar green/blue dont't support raid arrays and will very frequently drop out of the array if you attempt to use them.
(and by don't support, I mean WD, in a dick move, added firmware specifically to prevent those drives from being used in raid arrays, forcing you to buy more expensive drives.)

They are WD old models 2500, but they were working fine until now...
I cannot understand why the disk which still seems to be member of RAID 1 it is not bootable when BIOS is in RAID mode but the same disk is booting fine when the BIOS isn't in RAID mode. On the other hand the second disk works fine in any mode (RAID/not RAID) as a non RAID disk.
