Hi,

I have a failed Seagate barrcuda 120GB SATA Raid 0 drive. At present the drive is not seen in the Bios although the second drive of the Raid 0 set is seen in the bios. The drive seems to spin-up and is warm to touch. My Motherboard is a Asus P4C800-E.

Any ideas on the best way to recover drive ?

Right what sort of raid setup did you use, was it herdware or software based?
Im assuming you have swapped out both power and Sata cables, if still not showing in the BIOS then as Dutch Guy said screwed, if you can get it to show up but still failed in the raid array you can try deleting the array and setting it up again, but make sure you set it up EXACTLY as it was before, same stripe size and DONT say yes to delete and data or partitions then try a reboot and see what happens.
If you get it to work get the data off asap.
I had that twice, but the drive was still in the BIOS did the above and got it all backfirst time, was due to a faulty Sata cable but last time the drive was blank and lost it all.

Hope you get it back


Hi,

2 drives are on the mb hardware raid (intel controller), mb is the Asus P4C800-E. You mentioned deleting the array, if i do this will i not lose all the data on the drives ?
