Hi all,
I have two problems:
When it was operational, I had Windows 7 installed on my SSD, 2 2TB Hard Disks set for Raid1, 2 4TB Hard Disks set for Raid1.
I defaulted on my bios settings that had the Sata drives in RAID1 and all the disks became independent of each other. I went into Bios and turned Raid Mode back on, in hopes that I can recreate the disks using Intel's RST.
First problem - My 2 2TB Disks are able to sync back up as 1 disk (because no changes were written when it was in ACHI mode) , but most of the files are not showing. I would think that they are still there because the amount of used space is the same as before. I read somewhere that Windows Diagnostic test has a tendency to mess up system files, rending most of the files to disappear. How can I save this data?
Second Problem - While I was in ACHI mode, I made changes to one of the 4TB hard disk, and now it doesn't sync back up as one after turning RAID mode back on. How can I rebuild the array to the newer-written disk?
I greatly appreciate any insights, and thanks in advance.
