Hi - I'm not quite sure if this issue fits in here, but I'ma give it a try.
I have A Gigabyte Z87-UD3H Board with 2 raids configured:
primary: RAID1 with 2 SSD
secondary: RAID5 with 4 1TB-Disks (no spare) => 2,7TB
lately the computer was updated to windows10, not issues so far, but 1 week ago (i guess due to automatic updates), windows crashed and won't boot up anymore.
So far, "no problem" I thought and tried to recover from safety backups stored on the secondary raid. Unfortunately this didn't work out and the whole primary RAID was formatted, and deleted.
Still no worries, lets install a fresh Win7 and happiness will come.... thats what i thought.
But something happened during the lastr operation, the secondary raid now shows up as failed with 2 offline members. I reinstalled Win7 and tried to fix this with the intel storage manager, but it shows the 2 raids - raid1 funtional, 2 members, raid 5: failed, 2 offline members...and below: the two disks which were former members of the raid5. ( the disks are in good condition and recognized as healthy by S.M.A.R.T)
Any options? i got lots of important documents on those disks and don't wanna risk anything by trying weird proposals... I read in various forums to simply set the state of the disks to "NON-RAID" in bios and rebuild the array in the intel storage manager, but the BIOS tells me all data will be lost....and now i'm lost...
any solutions appreciated
cheers
Frank
