    Post Can't access my drive

    I installed two more hard drives onto my RAID controller and created an array with the two new disks. I didn't want to include the disk that I was already using because I wanted the information that was on it. Unfortunately, when I created the array, all three disks were listed as being part of the array. I turned my computer off and unplugged the hard drive that has my info on it that I want to keep. How can I get the info off it now or is it gone for good? Windows will not even recognize the disk as unformatted and I don't know of a good recovery disk (if this is even recoverable).

    Again -
    You had one drive on the raid controller.
    You added two more.
    you created a Raid using all 3 drives (By mistake).
    Now you want ot have the date from the original one back.....

    Did you formated the Arrey after you created it ?
    It might still be recoverable......Might.

    I didn't format the array with three drives. I turned off the computer, pulled the original drive and reinstalled win2k on my two RAID drives. The "paperweight" is sitting in its original box now until I can figure out what to do with it. (It is NTFS).

    I hit the button to create the array. But I didn't format the drives. No data was written to the drives, only the BIOS setting was put to "create RAID array".
