My main disk was already connected to the onboard Sata raid controller. I
dont have any other controllers apart from the standard MB one.

Exactly, I created a raid and duplicated the source, I know that this was
done correct, as when I use R-Studio (data recovery software) on both disks,
I can see all of my data

installed the RAID contoller drivers?? Im not sure what you mean, once i
installed the new blank disk, all i did was switch on, go into the RAID bios,
and created the raid. At no point it asked for any controller drivers, I
mean the PC straight away recognised the 2nd disk, as the raid was
successfully created.

If this is the case, and I did mirror a blank unformatted, un partitioned
drive to my used OS drive, when I use my data recovery software surely I
wouldnt see a thing?
thanks again
