Christophocles, Thanks for you prompt respond, yes, i'm really frustrated about the whole thing because my school papers and projects are in there. I'm more of an beginner level in computer, i used to have HP PIII 733mhz. At the time my dad asked to edit a video clip he brought back from a summer vacation, with the PIII i can't get the work done. I built my first computer by googling and got lots of help from overclocking.net folks. They suggested the RAID0 option to get extra performance that was bassically how i caught up with RAID0.
Lately I had a bit of freetime with nothing to do, i decided to enter BIOS mode and look around feeling quite confident. I entered RAID Mode and noticed all four sata ports are enabled when i had only two ports used for raid0. So, i disabled the Flextor DVD-drive port and one of Hdd port by mistake instead of Plextor DVD-drive and the empty port. Boot it up and got an error msg saying Raid Array Failed and DISK FAILURE, i went back in bios and correct the configuration. Boot it up again, gets black screen with error msg DISK FAILURE Then i thought, maybe deleting the array and recreate array will somehow fix the problem, big mistake. what i should have done was go back in bios and set the Raid-0 array to 1st priority hdd booting disk. BUT i wasn't thinking of booting disk, follow, entered RAID mode again, delete the array the second time, thinking i might have entered the order of hard drives incorrectly. That didn't solve it, so deleted the array again 3rd times and had the hdd in it default order. I'm not sure what is "same strip size" beside changed the hdd order, i left everything default and RAID mode is STRIPING. I tried the OS repair option but when it it to point where we can choose which hdd to have the OS install on i can see that RAID0 is detected and with C: partition 65gbs of free space and Unpartions 400gbs free space. I DID NOT peform the repair on the RAID0 but i was trying to install OS on an IDE/ata hdd, but get error msg so i can't install seperat OS yet. Yes, i do have exact partition size from step above. as far as use DskProbe/"traverse partition tables" to find the NTFS Backup Bootsector what exactly does this do will it work on my condition. MY raid0 status is now views as 1 partition of 65gbs of freespace, and 1 UNpartition of 400gbs of freespace. I do have a LiveCD of Linus somewhere, but i don't know how to use it... please lead me from here...
