Well the motherboard on my build went out and I replaced it with a new one. I had a raid mirror configuration before the mobo went out. Windows 7 wouldn't boot so I reinstalled it. Only using one hard drive so I could grab the stuff off my old hard drive.

Problem:
The hard drive shows up when I boot as slave, but once I boot I can not get to it from my computer. Any ideas of what is wrong?

Specs:
All the same below except the new motherboard
GIGABYTE GA-G31M-ES2L LGA 775
Hard drive model number d7k500

Thanks,

My guess is your old raid controller added some "headers" to the drive so it could identify it as part of a raid set. That in turn would push the partition table out of place and mean that a normal OS on a normal controller wouldn't find any partitions.

There is a tool out there called testdisk for finding lost partitions, I'd give that a try.
 
Hey,

Thanks for the reply. I did some searching last night and I found that the disk was offline because of a signature collision. All I had to do was go into disk manager and right click the disk and select online.

Thanks,

Doug
