Hi All,
I've got a homebuilt PC which I think might be on the blink.
Shut it down the other day, working absolutely fine.
Restarted it today, and the D: (3x500GB Samsung drives in RAID 5 through an onboard controller on my mobo) doesn't appear anymore. Instead, a D and E drive appear (Saying they aren't formatted) and disc management in Windows can only see 2 of the 3 drives.
Rebooting the machine, the RAID bios displays that it can see all 3 drives (About to reboot and go into said bios to see if it says any health warnings or somesuch.
Any ideas where I should start here chaps?
Edit - Just checked the RAID BIOS. it shows the array status as healthy, and all drives displayed and look fine.
Looking in device manager there doesnt appear to be any conflicts or issues... any ideas ?
