Few month back I started getting an error upon booting my computer (I can't really recall exact error message) it something about SATA allocation or something, press F1 to proceed. I usually leave my system on 24/7 and none of my files/program/videos/pics in that secondary HDD seemed affected, but just in case I saved crucial documents and pictures in my other HD then ran couple of check disk scans and revealed bad sectors but window was unable to fix it.
Recently I updated my monitor and decided to update my graphic card as well and when installed my new Nvidia driver and rebooted my computer, I received this message: Pri Master Hard Disk S.M.A.R.T status bad, backup, replace press F1 to proceed. Since my this is my secondary HDD 1 tb on raid 0 setting, I though I could go back into my system then make backup and replace these HDD. Problem is my HDD is missing in my window, when I opened diskmgmt.msc both HDD was online but unallocated. I used one of the recovery software (EaseUS data recovery) and it shows all the files are there and was able to recover one video but since my raid setting is on strip setting, it wasn't playing properly.
I rebooted the computer, to disabled SMART setting and on my Bios it showed IDE setting, which I changed it back to RAID 0 once again but doing this, during Win10 loading screen I received a message "unable to boot
"
I went back into the raid setting, it showed my primary SSD was not in raid setting, but just be sure I re-set both 1tb HDD again into striping, rebooted, same result. Removed the raid setting from bios back to IDE, got the "Pri Master SMART error" again but able to load win10 without a problem. Oddly enough, my antivirus and web browser (mozilla) are installed in my failed secondary HDD but both are running without a problem, but games, files, program are all gone/unable to use/missing in my computer.
So far past two days I have tried different recovery softwares but I haven't found one that can save files from RAID 0 setting OR am I meant to save each of same files from both HDD and then combine? I allocated both drives but kept asking for me to reformat. What are my options? One thing I forgot to backup are one my video files (1N2D 1st season) that I personally labeled and even added descriptions/date on them (50 gigs worth) and my game saved files. Is my HDD datas unrecoverable at RAID 0 setting? All suggestions welcome !!
