Hi all,
Win 10 was running fine off the C: drive, a 500gb single drive, and had a 5 drive raid 5 array full of (not too important) data.
Win 10 was then reinstalled (clean partition and from dvd unlike previous upgrade from win 7) and now the raid array is borked (to windows only, still fine in BIOS).
Looking in disk management we see disk 0 thinks it is D: Basic disk, 7.5TB RAW, healthy primary, but if i right click and properties it also thinks it is a 2TB western digital drive (which is what disk 1/2/3/4 show)
Entering disk manager i get a pop up which asks me to initialise disk 1/2/3/4 which i decline every time. In windows explorer it shows as zero size and asks for format if clicked on.
So what changed between the old win 7 upgraded to 10 and the new win 10? And what can i do to fix it (avoiding rebuilding it and re-ripping all my AV)?
I suspect a raid driver but obviously device manager shows everything ok (but individuak disks not a raid array), and the manufacturers site has no win 10 drivers.
I suspect all the data is still there, what do people suggest i try? Will a win 8.1 driver work, is it safe to test that?
Hardware of interest: Gigabyte ga-f2a85x-d3h MB, a10-6800k apu, boot drive samsung hd502hj connected to chipset port, raid array 5 western digital red 2TB conected to chipset ports, optical connected to one of additional asmedia ports.
