Hi all,
My system (p4c800-deluxe) has a raid 0 array (2 sata 120gb drives) It had
winxp installed on it and something went wrong, I could no longer boot it.
(no need to get into details)
To save the data on the raid array (I don't want to reformat it) I hooked
up
an old ide 30gb drive and installed winxp on it. I'm now up and running.
My plan is to copy off the data I need from the array and later on rebuild
the system again.
I installed the promise raid driver from the asus cd and the array shows up
in 'computer management | storage' but it's not 'mounted'. So I cannot see
the array in win explorer.
It shows in the list as a basic-healthy(active)
Whereas my new ide drive which I'm now running xp from is shown
as basic-healthy(system)
My only option it seems is to convert the array from 'basic' to dynamic.
But I'm afraid of losing my data. How can I mount the array and assign it a
drive letter?
Thanks,
Zander
