Dynamic Raid5 has status "Failed" after installing Windows7, no reactivating or fixing...

[Guest M.Steve]

Hello,

 

I tried Windows7 today and installed it. With my previous Windows I created a Raid5 set from some of my disks. This set was healthy and OK.

So I installed Windows7, when choosing the install disk the setup shows the disks as raid5 volume and detects them.

I am not installing to the raid5 I install to a normal sata disk.

After installing the Raid 5 is in status "Failed", all disks are marked as failed, but all disks are online active etc. Reactivating the disks doesn't change anything neither I was able to get the Raid5 up.

As I thought my data is destroyed I installed old Windows again and the Raid5 set is back AND healthy again I can access the disk all data is still there and _fine_.

 

So I put in Windows 7 dvd and bootet and choosed the browse in the disk setup and I can see all my disks and I am able to _ACCESS_ the raid disk from the setup and browse dirs etc. But after install it's in failed state again.

 

Anyone can help?

Or know how to fix that problem?
