[SOLVED] Desperately trying to access NVRAID stripe

lukelfegg · 07-15-2009, 02:52 PM

Hello,
Any help with this would be absolutely brilliant

ASUS A8N-SLI (amd 16)
System SATA hdd
Extra SATA hdd

Maxtor SATA hdd
2nd Maxtor SATA hdd

I had the 2 Maxtor (DiamondMax10) drives setup as RAID0 (with i think the previous version of MediaShield) for my Video editing. It totals 500GB, and has a lot of precious data.

I now cannot access it in My Computer.
All I get is:
-System drive
-Extra drive (which is pretending to be 750GB when it is actually 250 like the Maxtors, as if the 3 of them have merged.)

MY THOUGHTS SO FAR
-Could I have assigned the wrong drives to the RAID in the BIOS/NVRAID config (F10 at boot)... I have triple checked.. they are on the 3rd and 4th SATA.

-Could be the RAID was setup with the old (drivers?) and isn't compatible with these new ones?

RELEVANT HISTORY
I've had some PC problems recently on XP;
Graphic faults riddled Windows as well as the BIOS and after replacing the 6800GT with a 8500GT and updating various drivers (possibly including an incorrect one!) the RAID0 split into 2 drives in My Computer and eventually PC wouldn't even load, even in safe. God knows what happened. Reinstalled Windows, and everything but RAID0 is happy again.

Solved!

Just had to reinstall the nForce MediaShield drivers AFTER enabling nvraid in bios.
