Hi...
I setup my storage with Intel Rapid Storage and messed it up, as I lack any knowledge of it.
Lenovo U310, it came with a 30GB SSD and 500GB HDD.
I deleted everything on it and installed Windows 8 on the SSD and used the 500GB HDD as main storage. It was a rather good setup until I installed Intel Rapid Storage and accidentally added my HDD to RAID. Now I can't access the partition on my HDD, it had important data on it. I can try and recover the lost data but no software can detect my HDD, it only shows up as a RAID array.
I can reinstall the whole OS, but all I need is access to the partitions on the HDD.
testdisk can do that once I get diskmgmt.msc or any good Partition tool to detect the HDD.
Any help in this regard is appreciated.
I've attached the Intel Rapid Storage screenshot and the system report of it.
