Hi,
I have an MSI Pro z790-p wifi mobo. I installed a Raid 1 pair of Seagate barracuda discs. (2TB ea).
My SSD system drive died and I am struggling to get the Raid controllers set up on a clean install of Windows 11 on a new SSD. I cannot lose the data.
I want to know how to read / mount 1 of my Seagate drives for read only so that I can back up the data to another drive (5TB portable storage disc.).
(Once done then I can try to get the Raid reinstalled but some of that data is more important than I had realized and mustn't lose it.)
I read something about the MBR being larger on the RAID disc than for a normal disc and that it is possible to exclude that data band when mounting the drive so that it can be read. How do I do that please.
Many Thanks for your help.

Hello RaidNewbie1951,
Thank you for reaching out. I understand that you would like to know how to read/save your Raid 1 disc without RAID Controller.
Since you have mentioned that you were using RAID 1, please answer the following questions:
- What are you currently using? Intel RST or a another RAID Controller utility?
- Was the operating system installed on the current RAID setup?
- What is the reason why you removed the RAID setup from your Motherboard?
- What is the current status of your RAID setup? Does it still show as RAID volume, or are the drives operating as standalone disks?
I look forward to your response!
Best Regards,
