Hello,
I tried to set up two Raid controllers up on my computer and it messed everything up, I have a promise raid controller built in to the MoBO and that is what I have been using for everything, becuase it is faster for transfering video to my data drive.
the data drive is two 250GB sata drives that I had set up to be used as one drive, yesterday I bought a sata to E-sata cable and plugged in a adaptec raid controller and then I plugged this sata to E-sata cable in to it and then plugged it in to my freeagent external hard drive it would'nt see it so I just unplugged it and put everything back and now my computer is seeing both 250GB hard drives instead of using it as one 500GB. And now in windows when I click one of the two 250GB hard drive it says " D:\ is not accessible The file or directory is corrupted and unreadable"


I have something like 450GB of video, photos, and other files, that are unreplaceable so I hope that I don't have to format this drive


Thank you guys for taking the time to read this and I hope that someone can offer some advice.

Has anyone got any ideas or do you need more information?

This computer is my mothers $4000.00 editing computer and I really need to get it fixed...


Maybe I have to change a setting in the sata setup or some thing...

Any ideas???


thanks

Thanks any way guys but I got it fixed and recovered all the data, I bought a 500GB external drive and used a recovery software to find all the data and then recover it all to the external and reformatted the two 250GB internal drives and kept then apart instead of setting them up as raid 0. Because I read it's more stable this way as far as keeping important data on it .

seem like you have money

[GeekTech]

HAHA actually my dad has the money , and we actually live very frugally, the reason we have a $4000.00 editing computer is exactly that, we are getting in to doing some indi video stuff and needed something fast enough to edit on

Have a good evening!
