XP not seeing drive

[Soupyuk]

Hi all

I have just formatted my main drive installed the drivers for the raid but the pc wont now see my spare drive where I store all of my music etc. I have 2 drives combined in raid and a 3rd seperate storage drive. I have installed PArtion magic and that isnt seeing the drive any ideas please as I have a huge amount of info on there.

Would I be safe unplugging the drive and plugging it back in so windows picks it up?

Dont unplug it while its on!

Does it show up in the BIOS?

So is that RAID1 array now your primary/OS drive and you just changed SATA controller from AHCI/IDE to RAID mode?

Normally in RAID mode individual drives aren't reported to software so possibly you need to check for RAID setup setting for "exporting" such drives.
