RAID1 Problem

[milano]

Hi All,

I was presented with the above RAID failure screen.

My system:

Intel Guardfish G965 Mainboard
2 x Seagate 160GB 8MB SATA HDD in RAID1 (on board)

Well, what I did was this (suggested on another forum):

I disconnected drive2 and in the BIOS I changed RAID to IDE. Drive1 then booted normally.

I then disconnected drive1, re-connected drive2 and then drive2 booted normally.

So it appears both drives are working in IDE mode.

So, now I just wish to get it working in RAID mode again but I am like...

Should I set the BIOS back to RAID and then select option2 (Delete RAID volume) and then Option1 (Create RAID volume)?

Is this the correct thing to do next? Could I lose data? Does deleting a RAID volume just delete the RAID config or the actual data? I am really scared of doing the wrong thing and losing data.

Any tips appreciated...

Or should I reset disks to non-RAID (option3) and then create RAID volume (option1)?

Anyone with any Intel Matrix Storage Manager experience?
