How. To : Recover Intel RAID "Non- Member Disk" Error. Quote: Originally Posted by blyefd Hi,I am reading this thread with much interest.

I suspect the "Offline" drive in port 0 may possible be defective, so I have another new replacement 1. TB drive. When should I swap out the old drive with the new? Zero. 45. 49: can I use your procedure in post #6. When you say: "2) Rebooted, Reset to non- raid (did not delete)" does that mean in the BIOS or in the Intel Matrix Storage Manager option ROM? Do I have to create another boot drive (lets say with windows xp) to run testdisk, or can I use a bart pe boot cd or something like that? I am looking to recover the array, or at the very least recover the files. Thanks. I'm not entirely sure if it will work for an "offline disk" like it works for "non- member" You could try it, but at your own risk. First, I would try physically detaching and reattaching that particular drive. Maybe try a different power cable / connection from PSU or a different SATA cable or both. Check BIOS to make sure the disk is enabled. If it's still saying offline, and you want to try this method, I reset in the ICH1. HDDScan is a Free test tool for hard disk drives, USB flash, RAID volumes and SSD drives. The utility can check your disk for bad blocks in various test modes. BIOS screen - not in windows. Is this array your boot drive? If so, you may need to make another boot drive. I'm not sure, my RAID was not my boot drive so I never had to find out (I boot off a small SSD). What I do know for 1. DO follow this method, make sure you do NOT have the intel raid manager software installed on whatever drive your computer is booting from when you attempt the fix. It WILL break the fixing method and screw up any chance of fixing it. If you already have it installed when it's time to fix, uninstall it first! If the method with testdisk simply doesn't work no matter how you do it and you followed everything correctly.. There ARE some software recovery options that will try to independently read the 4 drives in non- raid mode and patch all the data back together. You will need another 2. TB drive (or array) to write all the data to though and chances are a lot of it will end up corrupted. It can also screw up those disks (the ones you write to) so make sure you do it with something still under warranty. Also it'll take like 3days straight. Good luck! Edited by Zero.
