Hello, I recently reinstalled windows on my primary drive, which is a 250GB PATA drive. I have another 500 GB SATA drive already on the machine. Unfortunately, I selected to enable RAID on the Bios which set up a RAID with only this one drive. I turned off the PC, disconnected the SATA cable, then turned off RAID in the Bios. Then I reconnected the the SATA cable. The drive was recognized but says that there is not data on it and it is not formatted. Is there any way I can get my data on this drive back? I find it hard to believe that it was all re-written during a windows install to another hard drive. Thanks, Pat
