ok so i am not sure what screwed up my raid, me pulling out the drives while dusting or makeing the mistake of hitting load optimized settings in bios. in either case it seems ive lost my raid array and i am hopeing someone can help me get it back. i have not changed which hard drive is connected to what connecter and i have not reformatted the drives.
i have a ssd as my os drive, two WD Black 1TB drives in raid-0 (atlesat they use to be) and a WD green as backup that wasnt being used as backup just yet /sadface
i have referred to the manual and have had no luck in raid config. ive set the GSATA 0_1 back to raid from ide because of my load optimized settings mishap but it is still failing to load the raid array
i would really prefer to do something that will just make it all go back to normal rather then redo everything on the array. the raid utility thing was saved in the raid so i cant get to that, and i cant download anything yet because my temp folders are also set to the raid array(windows/TEMP, tmp and recycle bin). so i will try that in the morning. i figured i would post this and let it sit over night to see if i got any hits.
any thoughts or suggestions on this matter is appreciated.
thanks in advance.

ok ive gotten my temp folders back to a formatted drive and downloaded the gigabyte raid utility. looks like the only thing i can do from it is deleat the array and start over. i cant help but think there is something else i can do since all the information is still on the drives.
thoughts?

I really can't help you on this one but i do lknow that you have to reinstall your RAID setup in BIOS before you start Windows otherwise this is what happens. I don't know if it is too late to go back and start again. Pierre or Peteruk would know I am sure.

just got off the phone with a friend of mine who has some exp in raid, i think ill just redo everything. my raid is most likely lost.
life goes on.

Sometimes it's easier to just bite the bullet and get on with it. ;)

for restore RAID
1 - configure RAID in BIOS with exactly thesame config that before
2 - use Testdisk for restore partition :
