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?
 
RAID is killer in the right enviroments! Who originally configurered the
RAID?
I will presume that this software RAID which means if you have just
formatted the drive with-out going through the propper steps you may be in
trouble. Or it could just be a driver issue though.....
 
I know this might be inappropriate but
I LOVE YOU !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How haven't I thought about it??
I guess I was too nervous.
