Q:
Migrating two new 1TB drives to RAID 5 array
RAID 5, RAID, RAID controllers, AMD RAIDXpert
Using AMD's RAIDXpert, I added two new 1TB drives to an existing RAID 5 array. The existing array already held data. After migrating the new drives (assuming this would allow me to save my preexisting data) and restarting my computer, I am asked to reformat the array. I would really like to recover the data. Is there any way I can do this?




From 3 disk RAID 5 to 5 Disk RAID 5. All 1TB.


Software/Hardware used:
Onboard RAID controller ( AMD RAIDXpert)

The data on your original disks should still be avbl. Try removing the new disks. And then reboot.
