Hey everyone,
so basically after an unexpected message from Windows asking to repair some data at startup, my RAID 0 (2x2TB SSDs) failed and the volume turned out as blank and unaccessible (asking me to format it, I didn't).
Tried to recover some data with EaseUs, (I do have a backup, it was just for recent files), let it work for quite a long time before realising that it encountered a huge amount of bad sectors and was taking ages. Now I honestly don't remember correctly what happened next, but I surely turned pc off and on and tried to gather some information through diskpart and disk management, thing is I now have two disks, one as an unallocated disk of ~1.8TB and another as a read only, unallocated disk of ~3.7TB. On the second one if I try to create a partition it won't get bigger than the SSD size, but in reality I can't do anything since it's read only and even by using diskpart I can't remove the attribute.
I have to mention that the PC is assembled (not by me), RAID has no hardware controller, doesn't contain OS (obviously) and I have everything backed up, so what I'm hoping for is a way to get both SSDs back to normal and rebuild a RAID 0 after that.
Mobo is Sabertooth X99, UEFI BIOS is organized really bad and I don't want to make things more chaotic than this by randomly doing stuff.
What can be done? Is there a simple way to restore SSDs and rebuild everything? Thanks in advance for getting this far!
