RAID 10 Missing drives

DANI3L — Wed, 20 May 2020 15:44:23 GMT

So I have installed a fresh Windows 10 on a new M.2 NVME, So I had to disconnect any drives.

After I installed every Intel Driver, I checked the Raid 10 That I had before and it got 2 missing drives, but I can still see them down on the available drives, The missing's Serial Numbers match the available drives.

What can be the problem?

Someone told me its just rebuilding..

But how can I know?

Thank you for your relpy, But I managed to fix it already since the data on the raid is for my job and I really needed it.

So First I deleted the RAID 10 Volume (yea it was a bit scary at the start)

steps by this guy

but the TESTdisk part didn't worked... I've waited almost 7-8 hours...

When i was accessing the volume it was giving me an error

"you need to Format the disk before you can use it"

I did a little bit of google search and found this artical

https://www.technology.org/2018/12/09/fix-you-need-to-format-the-disk-before-you-can-use-it/

I only had to run this basic command "chkdsk n:/f "

The volume just came back to life like a magic!!
