Thanks, I appreciate the share.

Running a RAID0 array without a back-up is akin to playing Russian Roulette with no empty chambers.

two questions, i'm having same issue with Raid 1 setup does anyone know if this will work for this?

Also the first step which is to make all the drives non member using intel utility, how do you do that?

I went ahead and followed the instructions but sadly it says the drive is corrupt. No Windows (7) installation can be found. I think I'm screwed...

Eh... this post lead me to 'confidently' erase all my data. I followed the directions, booted into safe mode but it seems apparently the Raid had been initializing anyways in the background (even in safe mode). After I ran TestDisk and wrote the partition to the drive it recognized the Drive Letter, but said it was corrupt. When I booted to Normal Mode I checked the Raid Status and it was already on 50% of initialization... I could have chose a different route, but I trusted this method based on the post's responses, but it led me to confidently flush all my data down the drain. Not good.

I read this post, and saw similar in other places. Sadly, the first post does not mention that the RST program will start initializing the RAID once the O.S. boots.

In my case, I have a RAID 5 array that comprises of 5 drives. I deleted the RAID, and then recreated it as mentioned here. When the machine came up, RST said, initializing raid. I stopped it at 1%

So, the question is, was I too late? Perhaps 1 of the 5 drives was being initialized, and the other 4 are ok? What does the initialization do? Does it destroy all of the data on the drive?

Also, I am currently using Test Disk to identify partitions. It seems to find the partition on one drive right off. I am searching a second drive, but it is going to take a long time. A couple of questions here, if I find the proper partion on one disk, would the partition be the same on all disks? Also, what kidn of partiton does the Intel ICH10 create - Intel partion, but I see NTFS as a choice too? I am not sure what the difference would be. Sorry to be such a nooblette.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

I don't think you should delete the raid, but remove all drives from the raid. Don't me when this ends up having the same result though. Then create a new one in the exact same config and use testdisk to analyze and recover the partitions from the raid volume that was just created.
Hope that helps

Same thing happened to me tons of times. All I have to do is power off, unplug, and replug my HDDs, boot up and it's fine.

Sadly, I had already started following the plan as written above. So I have already deleted the RAID from the BIOS and recreated. From what I read, TestDisk should have saved me at this point, but the RAID started to initialize - 1%. So I am not sure if I am cooked.

So that is really the question, does the Rapid Storage RAID initialization destroy the actual data on the drive, or does it recreate the RAID info on the drive, and leave the data as it was? At the very least, considering it only initialized 1% I am thinking I may still be able to save 4 of the 5 disks?
