Hi Folks,
I recently installed a RAID mirror array. The system already comprised an IDE C drive containing the OS, and another SATA containing data.
Since the install, the system boots just fine, but on trying to access the SATA (designated E) I get “Drive E is not formatted, would you like to etc”
Ive run a data analysis/recovery tool which pretty much shows that all the files are still there and intact, but hasn’t been able to retrieve them all satisfactorily.
My instinct of it is that during the RAID setup the drive assignment has somehow become altered, and if I can just correct it, all my data should be available again. Trouble is, Im not sure how to go about it.
Ive also tried the drive in an external caddy, but with the same problem.
Any help greeted with huge gratitude
Cheers
Jonathan
