Question : Problem: Recover/Rebuild raid 1 array

Hello,

I have to recover the data on a raid1 array(2x maxtor 160GB). I don't know what controller / mobo the array was created on. The mobo I have is a ASUS A7B8X-E with silicon raid.

The individual drives are not recognised by windows but are recognised by the silicon raid utility.

In the raid utility:

Resolve Conflicts ->No conflicts exist!
Rebuild Mirrowed set -> No mirrored set. Press any key to return.

Will the create array option format the drives?

Basically need to get all the data & information.

Thanks

Raid 1 is a mirror, So just connect one of the drives to a PC as a 2nd disk, start that PC normal OS and then you should have access to the other drive and copy the data you need off. You don't need raid to copy data from mirrored HD's.
