@ omargaiani:
Hello Omar,
welcome at Win-RAID Forum!
Questions:
1. How many HDDs/SSDs were natively within your laptop?
2 How did you get access to the Intel RST RAID Utility before you changed the SSD?
3. Why did you change the SSD?
4. Have you already entered the BIOS settings and looked for the tab "Intel Rapid Storage Technology"?
Regards
Dieter (alias Fernando)
1 2 raid 0
2 i can get access with cntr-i but then the ssd original were broken
3 Becouse are broken the original
4 i have found it in the Bios but i can’t found it !!!
@ omargaiani:
When a member of a RAID0 array is broken, all data of the RAID are lost, but the RAID array partition table is still present on the not broken HDD.
So if you want to create a new RAID0 array by using one of the HDDs, which were members of the old RAID0 array, you have to delete the old RAID0 array first and then to create a new one by choosing both HDDs (the old and the new one).
The problem here is, that he simply does not know how to enter the RAID configuration utility.
If it is a pure UEFI system, try disabling "Fast boot" mode in BIOS. There must be a way to enter the utility.
In UEFI it is integrated in the BIOS under advanced settings (at least on my ASRock board).
If you can enable CSM mode in BIOS, the option ROM will be loaded and displays information and provides
access via CTRL-I.
i have try all
but i can’t access via CTRL-I
this is the problem !!
i think that notebook have a configuration very particulary of raid
i can’t solve the problem !!

We cannot help you, because we don’t sit in front of your Computer.
If you ever had access to the Intel RAID Utility via CTRL+I, this should be possible now as well.
If all fails, try using a linux live CD and manipulate the RAID configuration via mdadm.
>Here< is the man page for mdadm.
Use Ubuntu Live for manipulating the RAID configuration.
I found some more information >here<.

mdadm --create --verbose /dev/md127 --raid-devices=2 /dev/sda /dev/sdb --metadata=imsm
mdadm --create --verbose /dev/md/Vol0 --raid-devices=2 /dev/md127 --level=0
The first command creates a new Intel RAID compatible container consisting of the first and second hard disk connected to the system.
The second command creates a RAID-0 array in the container previosly created.
Complete instructions:
Plase replace all devices (/dev/md0, /dev/sda, /dev/sdb,...) with your corresponding ones!
1) Download Ubuntu and burn it to a disc or create a live USB drive.
2) Boot your PC from it.
3) Open a terminal (gnome-terminal) and execute following commands:
1

sudo apt-get install --no-install-recommends mdadm
sudo mdadm --assemble --scan

mdadm --create /dev/md127 /dev/sd[ab] --raid-devices=2 --metadata=imsm
mdadm --create /dev/md/Vol0 /dev/md127 --raid-devices=2 --level=0
I am not responsible for any damage to your data, software or hardware.
EDIT: removed GParted Live as it does only detect the raid, nothing more...
if i wolud like raid 1
Then just replace --level=0 with --level=1
when i try say this error : …exist but is not md array
Did you forget to specify the device to create (/dev/md127 or /dev/md/Vol0)?
Or do they already exist? Then specify some other devices that don’t already exist, like /dev/md128 and /dev/md/Vol1.
For further investigation, please provide the commands you entered and their output.
