Hi,

I had a raid 1 setup with two WD 1T hard drives and I also had an extra NON RAID hard drive of 1T. Due to a power outage, my Raid configuration failed. By trying to get my computer to work (because windows was not booting anymore), i disconnected one of the raid hard drive and left the two other (the 2nd raid harddrive and the non raid hard drive). Windows would not work on any of the hard drive configuration. As such, i used another hard drive and reinstalled everything. My former raid hard drive when connected now appear as two separate hard drives with the same information. Good.

The problem is now that the 3rd hard drive, which as a NON RAID hard drive, now appear as FAILED in the bios and will not show in windows!!!! But it was the one containing the most sensitive information. It still works (i feel a normal vibration and noise when it starts, it is not making any abnormal noise or vibration).

What can i do to get my data back!? I am quite desperated.

Thank you very much in advance for your time.
