Any suggestions on how to recover my raid array or any of my files?
OS is windows Vista, the RAID is configured as a 10 (Mirrored/Striped) with 4 WD SATA 250GB hard drives,
mb is ASUS A8N SLI Deluxe, Silicon controller in use, NVidia controller not in use.
Rebooted machine, and received the following error:
No valide deivce!...press any key to continue
(yes the spelling is like that on screen...)
Then I get: DISK BOOT FAILURE, INSERT SYSTEM DISK AND PRESS ENTER
Tried rebooting a couple of times but no change. Ran the WD tools on the disks, "no problems".
If I do a Ctrl-S to enter the SiL-3114 (Silicon Image Controller) Bios,
it shows the 4 drives under Physical Drive but under Logical Drive it says "Invalid Raid drive".
If I click "Create Raid set it comes back with "Not enough single drives to create Raid set".
If I select “Resolve Conflicts”, it says no conflicts exist.
So now I purchased 2 additional Wd 250GB Drives identical to the other 4.
In addition maybe for troubleshooting, I have another computer that can run 2 drive raid sets.
I am not sure which direction I want to proceed to recover either my disk array or my files
without causing more damage to the posibility of recovering my files!
Please advise, thank-you.
