  1. Windows reinstall & Win RAID 1


    Hello. First time poster to this sub.

    I have an SSD for a boot drive, and my data locations are on a Windows RAID 1 (made the array during the initial install about 18 months ago). This week I am planning on upgrading to a larger SSD on which I will reinstall Windows. My question is, will Windows recognize the current RAID 1 array, or will I need to recreate the array and wipe the data?

  2. Fresh Win 10 Pro install and RAID 1

    Thanks guys. I set up RAID in the BIOS following MSI settings in their manual. Then I loaded windows following the prompts. But I must have missed a step. And hence my questions after my install. So, I did as you suggested Samuria, and set it up in Windows. I would have preferred a MoBo hardware setup. But as long as I have RAID 1 I will be happy. Thanks, B.

    Is it possible to easily setup Raid-1 on this system ?

    Get the six core CPU's I listed, at 3.3Ghz per core they will more than handle any calculations you throw at them for years to come, and with matching RAM in tri channel you will have a very strong setup.


    My only other suggestion is a full RAID card like the one I listed with SSD's (in RAID 1)for the OS and programs, and then a RAID 5 array for backup and any large files on the board with a offsite final backup

  4. Windows reinstall & Win RAID 1

    Reinstall win 10 and lose separate data raid array

    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.
