Hi Sorry its taken so long for me to reply. When I first installed the hard drive I already had an existing ata hard drive with xp on it, so the sata is my second hard drive and I didnt (still dont really know how) to setup raid. However raid was the default in my motherboards bios and so I managed to do it with out much knowledge into how to do it. Anyway now when I have raid enabled it does as I described below. But if I disable raid in the bios, instead of it coming up with 'No array is defined' - it detects that I have a sata drive and gives the correct size of it. However when windows loads it again does not show up in my computer and neither does it show up in 'Disk Management'. Is the hard drive dead or is there a way of bringing it back to life? All I want is the data of it really :-( any ideas? Cheers!

Hi all I wonder if you could help. I have a Sata drive installed on my PC which was working fine up until recently, when the PC is booting up before windows loads (XP) I get the following message 'No array is defined' and then when windows does load, I cannot see it in 'My Computer' and neither can i see it when I into 'Disk Management' in the 'Computer Management' thing. Can anyone suggest a way of restoring the hard drive without losing the data on it? Thanks Daniel Howitt
