![]() ![]() switching automatically Raid to IDE in storage bios configuration when new sata drive added) between Asus board (an old P7P55D), the Bios, the Intel ROM & the IRST soft may be worth a second visit between parties concerned. Anyway, for the naive user, the undesired & damaging interactions (ie. Part of it exist on-line on Intel wsite but I find it a bit quickly put together & inadequate for me.Ĥ) I haven't experienced a problem yet with the Raid1 volumes on the Adaptec 6405e not embarked in the motherboard (thus not easily recognised in recovery operations either. Intel Technologists show impressive engineering capability and of course Intel support cannot be expected to be behind every Customer but surely, when releasing such technology, the minimum expected from Intel by user community is top notch user doc & guidance for self help when the poor guy that meet this kind of incident every 2-3 years or so gets into trouble. It is the key thing that matters to most users. But in the end, what clear protocol Intel recommends to follow to get user out of mess in clear & safe way. Surely these days, ROMs & soft are safer than 5 yers ago. ![]() The forums on internet mention many occurrences of Intel broken volumes for whatever reason, with finger pointing sometimes on top. All is supposed to work flawlessly for ever? NB: I have plenty of external BUs, so no real data loss risk but a lot of user time lost, which is the issue.ġ) in the written doc supplied by Intel, nothing indicates how the user must get himself out of this situation the fastest & securest way (I mean, Raid 1 broken volume), so one must be erased and rebuilt based on master, but how (I have done it but not my daily cup of tea, so simple reassuring guidance would be appreciated))Ģ) on line ( Intel� Rapid Storage Technology (Intel� RST) - Troubleshooting RAID volume issues), Intel does not describe this case of broken volume (for instance following an OS restore that turns sour), which happened to me alone 3 times.ģ) unless mistaken, I could not find thougthful guidance anywhere else when such problems occurs (eg. Yes, I know, Intel cannot rebuild a volume in such circumstances (just wish it could be more adequately documented though.). I should have known better & checked, yes.ģ) reboot, notice the issue and back to correct bios from IDE to RAID & boot, but too late.Ĥ) in IRST, the ex-volume 2 (data) shows as 2 disks "in Raid" (from memory) so no longer in a single volume, one of the 2 hard drives accessible by the OS, the second greyed with exclamation mark (not accessible at all) in diskmgmt.mscĥ) go back in bios with ctrl-I and see 2 non-raid Disks. Replace them with a functionnal backup OS c: drive at hand.Ģ) my mistake! At reboot in bios, I didn't notice Asus board switched itself Storage Config parameter from RAID to IDE (for the new sata disk connected & the other drives.). No problem, I disconnected the Volume c: (2 disks). This time not, as Windows couldn' find the OS partition, although visible & complete in command mode. Not the 1st time with Acronis restore (the hidden partition is sometimes badly restored and when not hidden, there can be problems also with bcd) but the previous times, Windows recovery repaired it fast. I chose to restore full drive c: (not the partitions) using ATI 2013 (for OS/appli reasons, while hardware fine)ġ) boot bcd error, I use Windows recovery disk to repair, to no avail. On Adaptec 6405e, I have e: (data2) in Raid1 etc. On it I have volume c: (OS only) in Raid1, d: (data) in Raid1. I now try to use W7SP1 圆4 on Asus board P7P55D with Intel ROM 10. I have used as home & accounting business user IRST in RAID1 for.
