Hi all!
I have a GA-MA790X-UD4P that's been running great for 1.5 years now with my system drive running as a mirror RAID on the GSATA ports (dual 500G WD Blacks).
Today, the machine shut down by itself and when it went to boot, I got the NTLDR missing error. Tried doing a W7 boot repair, but after adding the GB preinstall drivers (latest correct one), the OS was not recognized/listed. No error or anything. Just no OS listed.
Went in to the BIOS and made sure everything was ok and noticed that the RAID wasnt listed in the disk boot order list.
The GRaid screen pops up after the post and shows the RAID as being Ok/normal and going into the util shows everything as ok/normal as well.
If I set the GSATA mode to IDE, then both drives show up on the POST screen on Ch. 4 but still dont show up in the boot order list.
Tried updating the BIOS from 10A to 10C with no luck. Reset to safe defaults and reconfid....no luck.
So, the summary is that the only place the RAID is recognized is at the "press ctrl-g to enter raid util" screen. Drives not listed in the boot order and not recognized by Windows.
Is the RAID controller fried?
The 4 HDs on the AMD controller are all working fine.
Help!
