I have a ASUS P4P800-E motherboard with a Promise Raid controller and uses
the Promise FastTrack 378 driver. My OS resides on my C drive and I back up
to my D drive. My D drive is actually two hard drives running RAID 0 on the
Promise Raid controller. My C drive went bad and I replaced it and installed
a fresh copy of Windows XP Pro. Everything went well except now I can't
access any of the data on the D drive. The bios sees the array and indicates
it is functional. Windows sees the D drive but says it needs to be
formated. Is there anything I can do to get access to the data. Please help.
