Hello all,
I'm in a really big mess here.
I had a windows XP installed on a SATA drive that was connected to the
motherboard on a regular SATA controller.
I have another disk connected alone to an onboard RAID controller which
is also SATA.
After I formatted my boot disk (which was connected to the regular
controller I cannot see now the Disk that is connected to the RAID
controller.
In the Disk Managment I see it but It shows "Missing Dynamic Offline"
and I cant reactivate it.
When I try it says: "The specified disk cannot be located".

Is there ANY way to salvage the data that was on this drive?

After you formated the boot hd, did you install mobo chipset and any
sata/raid specific drivers from mobo cd?
