So yes, the problem that caused Avoriaz’s RAID to die is a known issue with the Intel SRCU31 card I have. Intel kindly produce a “how to recover your RAID” document to help you out. Step one, upgrade to latest firmware – okay, easy… or so you think. The Intel RAID detection DOS app thing just will not find the card so won’t upgrade the firmware. Arse. Okay, lets just load up the Intel Advance RAID Configuration Utility and get on with it. Hmm, that too also runs the same damn RAID detection software and it will not find the card! I know the card is in and working ‘cos I can go into the card’s BIOS and see it says it had failed! Hurmph. I will have to try the card in another PC I think…
