Ok so like the posting says I had a perfectly good RAID1 software setup (W8Pro) using two WD Blue 1Tb HDD's. I opened the case up because I wanted to switch it to a hardware RAID1 and in the tutorial I was using it said to switch them over to SATA ports 4 and 5. After doing this and firing up my system and opening disk management it says "Failed Redundancy" on both drives and when I attempt to reactivate either drive it tells me "Plex is Missing". In addition to this another drive is showing up as failed which I used solely as a backup drive for my OS that contained a system image. I am unsure of what I did that would cause this or how to fix it. Worse comes to worse I wouldn't mind going back to the software RAID if it worked like before but anyway... Also as an aside my disk usage before was 33% on one and 66% on another is this normal for a RAID1? It was always a combined 100% (~99%). Does anyone know what I should do from this point to get back to a working RAID1? FYI I can access my files on the drive path (for what it's worth M: ) perfectly so I don't think there is anything physically wrong with the HDD's it seems like more of a BIOS or something issue. Please help I am a relative newb to building my own computer and this is my second system.
