Windows 10: Twin Drives Set up as Raid 1 format now show as Two separate drives following latest W10...

Hi


Windows 10 PC with twin hard drives set up in Raid 1 format (ie any saved files save to both drives). Separate SSD for C Drive which holds any programmes.


My Raid Drives are both drive D and show as two separate folders named "Raid 1 (D" in the file explorer.

When I save a file, it saves to both drives.


Since the latest Windows update, one of my Raid drives has changed from D drive to L drive (shows as "Raid 1 (L" in file explorer).

When I save a file now, it only saves to the D drive.


Is there a guide anywhere which helps me to understand how to rectify this please?

I guess it is about mapping ??????



Many thanks.

:)

 

drive shows as intel raid 1 volume do not have raid set up

I have a crucial ssd that I boot from that shows up in device manager and a separate wd caviar black hdd that use for other storage. In bios it shows the correct model but in the device manager it shows as intel raid 1 volume. I have not set up raid.
The size and everything is correct for the drive. I don't see any mirroring going on either. I'm not sure what has happened here.

 

Raid 1 Questions - Help Is Needed Quick !!!

Like the other guy said, backup and RMA it.

Step 1. Backup or store all the info to another external drive or source.
Step 2. Put Drive 2 (after getting replacment drive for drive 1) along with Drive 1
Step 3. Thru Bios Configure the drives to be part of Raid Group and specify Raid 1. So it will warn you about data loss. After conforming to that message its going to format both drives and group them as Raid 1.
Step 4. Try to partition the drive if possible from with bios utility.
Step 5. Install windows on first partition (it may ask for drivers)
Step 6. If Windows XP SP 1 it will recognize the whole full 320GB. So finish installing the OS and update to SP2.
Step 7. Go into Computer management and add the extra partition to the OS or u can partition into how many ever and add it.
Step 8. May be you need to install Seagate optimize tool to see the full size of the drive.

Good luck.

 

Formatting Flash Drives into RAID Format?

Hi. I was wondering if there is a way to format USB Drives into RAID format on Windows 10. I have 2 completely different USB drives, one with 121 MB and another with 123 MB. They're not large but I just want to test it out before moving onto my larger ones.
