I just changed my motherboard and CPU, now Windows will not boot as it cannot see my hard drive. I have a RAID drive and a backup on another drive, I've tried the repair disc and all repair options but it's futile as no hard drive can be detected. When I restart it gets into the windows boot manager - which means that it must be able to detect my drive as there is nowhere else the boot manager can be stored. If I boot to Linux, the RAID can be detected. But I need Windows. It seems like my RAID 1 controller died with the old motherboard. Ubuntu can easily mount the drive, Windows can't.

I urgently need an answer and I'm pretty sure I haven't given enough information so please ask for any other info.

Go to support or download pages of the motherboard website, there usually they have those raid drivers and you can put on usb stick.

In the Windows installation process theres one point where you can load those raid drivers from USB, and windows can see the raid volumes.
