RAID1 Recovery

$

Hello to everyone

So recently I dismantled my system - which entailed removing my Intel 3930K and other components.

 

I was running a RAID1 configuration succesfully in Windows 7 Pro x64 and in order to maintain my system as it was on rebuild, I made careful note of all my connections for reassembly and I didn't change any hardware so same setup exactly as before see below for exact info.

 

On startup however the system booted into BIOS but I exited without changing anything in the config. I guess I expected once Windows booted that everything would be configured exactly as before (yeah probably didn't think that one through enough). However, while everything booted fine I lost my RAID config and am unsure of the exact steps to take to recover my old setup.

 

Of course I now realise - having checked the BIOS - the harddrives got reset to ACHI not RAID. I was reluctant to simply reset to RAID without checking. Of course my system would have expected to see RAID on boot but I got no warnings or errors.

 

Just in case I wasn't clear this message was written on the RIVE in Windows 7 Pro x64, so the system is ruining but not in RAID. Also for info I'm running IRST enterprise edition 3_5

 

This is what I have tried so far - I re-entered the BIOS ans reset SATA to RAID (from ACHI) save+exit

On reboot the RAID set (2x256SSDs) is seen correctly - it starts promising - then Windows starts loading.... however, it blue screens with an error too fast for me to see and then on restart it offers to repair windows. BUT at this point I decided to and restart resetting to ACHI to get back into Windows. I'm still hoping that there is some way to recover this?

 

If someone would be so kind as to guide me through recovery I would be grateful.

Any help and advice will be very welcome!

Thanks
