Basically I was in BIOS and saw the EZ Tune raid option and it said it would make things faster. Not knowing exactly what RAID 0 was I was like oooooh it'll make it faster let's see. So i started the process. Then after a restart or two the EZ tune did, I was about to do the final step and it said all the data on my other two drives would be deleted so i was like nvm then and hit cancel. I go back and I see my first drive is missing in BIOS and i have no OS. So I put another OS on my machine and my drive with my original OS is completely missing in disk management, I read I could potentially reset my BIOS to see if it'll appear , but I don't wanna freak anything else up. So basically. I stopped the EZ tune RAID 0 early because i didn't want all my data delete, but when i cancelled the EZ tune my first drive is gone on BIOS and Disk management so is there anything I can do to get it back or to show up agian?
 
Solution
Go into the BIOS and set the drive mode back to AHCI (which is probably what it was before you tried to setup RAID on the drive).

Resetting the BIOS to defaults won't do anything to your data.
