Help please! lost RAID after BIOS update!

got an Asus A8N SLi Deluxe with a couple of maxtors in RAID 0 ..

recently updated the mobo bios to revision 1016 , through the internet

flashed etc and rebooted fine.

but now it has stopped recognising my RAID config,

tried presseing F4 while booting to access the RAID config utility but it says that there are not enough single drives present! (checked in the BIOS setup screen though it confirms that the drives are present!)

tried re-installing SATA RAID drivers from the mobo CD but no luck! :confused:

I haven't just lost 400Gigs of data now, have I :eek:

sounds like you have. I guess you DO back up all your important data?

Stupid question, when I upgrade my BIOS I need to reconfigure my setup in the BIOS, enable RAID and force gen II, do you need to do the same.

Just a thought.
