Bad way to start my first post. But im serious need of some help and advise on how to resolve this issue. I have had a Raid 5 array running for about a year and have had no problems with it at all untill recently. My old MB went and died on me and i had to replace it with a new one. I had an ASUS P5E3 Deluxe Wi/Fi @n running raid 5 with 3 500gb SATA drives on Windows 7 64 bit. Was running great untill i changed to my new Mobo. Bought an ASUS P6T6 WS Revolution and tried to put my raid 5 array back but ended up with a rather serious issue.
Once i installed windows 7 only 2 of my HDD's were visable and those were listed as a RAW file format. I looked in the disk manager and it said the same thing but did show the 3rd drive. They are all listed as RAW format and Windows of course wants me to format the drives so i can use them again. This is something i am trying my best to avoid since i have a LOT of info on them i do not want to lose.
The raid array at post says that everything is normal and nothing is wrong. But once im in Windows its always the same, RAW file format and not available. It wont let me rebuild, wont let me delete cause that would delete all info on the drives, and that would be bad.
Does anyone have any ideas on what to do on this? I really dont want to lose all my data.
