Raid failed after frmware upgrade

Hi to all,
yesterday I upgraded bios to 1001 from 0901, system reboot and settings changed to default settings.
On bios settings I've changed from sata to raid, save and my raid 5 failed (4x2tb full of data), the other raid, raid 0 (nothing interest), works correctly.
The Raid 5 failed because two disks results non-RAID disk, before firware upgrade Raid 5 works like a charm.
I've tried to rollback to previous bios, but raid 5 still fail, tried to unplug the "non-RAID disks" and plug again, with no luck.
Any clue?
Thank you.

I had a similar problem. I lost BOTH my raid 0's upgrading from 0901 to 1001 (see signature system)

lost both. totally dead, like you said. The Raids fail the BIOS post. Doesn't matter when I rolled back to 0901. The damage is down and both Raid 0's are dead. Eventually I had to recreate both of them, killing all data of course.

Nice work ASUS.

Running data recovery software now that I just bought for 70 dollars to see what I can get back off each one.

You do know you can rebuild a raid array without losing your data :confused: as long as your re-create it in the same way it will work the same. Also if you guys are getting these problems maybe unplug your drives before updating also how are you updating are you using flashback or ez-flash? i have update my bios over 10 time and never lost my raid array.

Rebuilding it the same way as before did not work. Both new raids were "empty"

For example, when you re-build the raid in the BIOS array screen, it warns you that this will delete all data. (yes I used the same disks and same stripe size). Then when you get into windows, it shows up as a blank volume that you need to assign (in windows disk management) and then format to even gain use of it.

So, nope, they are both blank.

I wish I had read that before re-creating the raid arrays and formatting them in windows.

Im guessing that method would be useless to a guy who re-formatted his Raid array?

Yes once you reformat them there no hope of recovery.

I used to have the same issue when flashing the bios.
To see if you are affected a simple setting defaults in Uefi will make the array lost.
I have solved the issue for my pc.
