RAID 0 fail after BIOS update

[TomSerious]

Dear LTT cummunity!

 

I hope you can help me with this one.

 

A few minutes ago I updated my bios and that made my RAID 0 array fail.

 

As in the attached picture, there is 1 drive missing but an "additional" drive down below

which should correctly be the "missing" disk!

 

It should be mentioned, that it's not a boot drive, but the storage array with all my games and

documents (I can't remember if all my data on that storage array is backed up on my NAS)

 

 

Additional note, everything was running fine for months, just after the (successful) BIOS update

the raid array broke, everything else still runs fine.

Hardware:

i7-6700K at 4,8GHz

32gb of some Gskill RAM at 3200 MHz

Asus Maximus VIII Formula

Samsung 950 512gb (Boot drive)

Samsung 850 Pro x 2 (should be Raid 0)

GTX 1080 FE at ~1900MHz

Custom Watercooling (EKWB)

 

 

Has anyone any ideas?

 

Thank you very much in advance!

 

Best regards

TomSerious

You need to post what hardware you are running.

My board resets the SATA operation every time I do a bios update. Go in and make sure that it is set to RAID, and not just ATA or AHCI. (in the bios)

 

Usually your array should recover, but I have once lost my array when I tried booting up after a bios update without changing the mode back to raid.

@goodtofufriday, thanks, I updated the original comment

@pwn_intended, thanks for the information, but I changed it directly after the BIOS update was finished

Try seeing if you can re-build the array from the pre-boot raid utility.

(ctrl+i while your computer is booting)

If that doesn't work, you may be outta luck and have to re-build the array, losing all data. Good luck!

Well, that option is greyed out

Thank you for your help!

Disable the CSM option and it should become available.

 

Or do the below

Unluckily, I already reset the array and it works fine now, I did automaticly disable CSM though.

Thanks anyway, but I hope I don't have to try that in the future haha.
