Dynamic disk invalid

[G0m3r619]

I hope someone here can help me. I have two 6TB mirrored drives in my Windows 10 system. I upgraded to motherboard and reinstalled Windows. Now Windows says my 2 dynamic drives are invalid. I have a backup set as well. I hooked them up and Windows says they are invalid as well. I know they aren't bad. What can I do to fix this?

Any RAID array you had configured on another motherboard will be invalid.
You should connect the drives to the original motherboard and copy off any data you want.
Don't bother with RAID unless you are prepared to buy a decent RAID controller add in card.

Edit: The easiest way to remove the RAID configuration and make the drives usable with the new motherboard is probably to remove the RAID configuration while still connected to the old motherboard.

Vincent is right, raid containers configured on a given board or raid controller card are non transferable, unless you maintain the original motherboard/raid controller. You have 2 options:
1) hook up the raid 1 drives to the new motherboard, create a new array and copy all your data (if accessible) back.
2) if your data is not accessible, hook up the raid 1 drives to the old board, copy your data to one 3rd hard drive, then move the raided disks back to your new board, recreate new raid1 array, & recopy your data from the 3rd disk to the newly created array.
The above 2 options are the safest, fastest methods, but there are plenty other options that might or might not work such as attempting a rebuild of your old array on your new board using unix dev tools, but I'm inclined to go with my option 2 given your easy scenario of just 2 disks and only 6TB of data.
P.s. remember to re establish your backup array disks once your data is fully copied back.
Also I would give "storage spaces" a try if I was you, it works beautifully on 2 drives, and most importantly, easily transferable to another machine, really plug & play!
