I've got a slight problem.
I got my P4C800-E Deluxe today, and decided to have my 160 GB drive on the Promise RAID Controller and my secondary 120 GB on the primary IDE.
Having never used RAID before, I though I had to make an array on the disk in order to use it.
I made a RAID 0 stripe on it, and tried to install Windows.
When reaching the partition selection there, I didn't find my drive, and I had used the driver floppy disk and everything.
I thought there might be some issue with the RAID, and deleted the array and reconfigured the BIOS to use the Promise as a normal IDE host.
Upon booting the install, it reports that there are no partitions on the disk.
Since I had it filled with important stuff, I'll be very sad if I lose it all.
Upon the time of insertion into the new computer, the drive had 3 partitions, one 15GB FAT32, one 7GB Ext3 and one fat 140-ish NTFS filled to the brim with goodies.
What should I do? I have access to most utilities and have another computer with WinXP and Slack9.
