OK.. I might really have fuct up. My desktop started acting strange, with very slow boot ups. Even the first Bios screen had like a 40 second delay. The PC in general was acting weird, and my RST Intel program kept warning me, but nothing seemed to be wrong.

Anyways, I decided to upgrade my OS to a new OS drive which has been on my list of things to do. First I updated my BIOS to the newest version thinking that the BIOS update would fix the boot up lag. It did not.

But now after re-install not only do I have slow boot up, but my RAID drive is gone :mad:

I was using fake raid on Z87 to RAID. Something is wrong. I have data on that drive I need to recover.

Here is what I see in the BIOS now:
LL


On the desktop (new install)
LL


I did unplug the SATA power from the drives when doing the clean install but I did not remove the SATA cables so everything is in the same spot.

Windows wants me to format the drive. But I think that' a huge mistake.

I get errors here:
1000



Anyone know a good way to rebuild this array or save the data from these three drives? HELP!

That is my immediate problem. The second problem is figuring out why my mobo and system boot so slow. It boots slow with two different OS drives on different ports. I boots slow with the RAID not hooked up or hooked up. Something funny going on with my mobo I think.

3X3TB consumer drives in RAID0 is just begging for data loss.
If you answer some basic questions I can help you, but for now keep these drives powered down.


Do you have or can you obtain 3 more 3TB drives or 9TB of storage?
Is this your only copy of this data?
If it is your only copy of the data, how much is it worth to you?
