A while back... oh, I don't know, maybe a year ago, my mirrored drives disappeared from Windows, and it has happened again.
The logical raid drive shows up in the config utility as "Invalid Raid drive," but at least it registers both being there.
This is when I slap myself for not keeping good notes of how I fixed this last time.
I think that if I unplug them from the raid controller and straight into the mobo, they should show up in the operating system, which should let me get at the data. I remember from before that Windows couldn't read the drives at this point last time, and I had to use some other piece of software to read the data on the drives.... ugh, bad memory.
And may I comment, that I haven't had this much data backup / recovery problems until I started using two mirrored drives? Damn murphy's law.
Or perhaps I had a data angel on my shoulder who finally was thankful her job was done when I got the raid setup going...
