z77 oc formula SATA3_0,1 stuck in RAID

[Colemann]

hello people!
I am having a huge issue right now. I reconfigured the way my hard drives were set up in my case, and for some reason even though my sata mode is set to AHCI, the drive still shows up under boot as raid, and even in the raid selection menu.
The drive is a Samsung 840 evo, if it is of any consequence.
I do also have two other drives (150gb wd velociraptor x2) that i used to keep in raid 0 for about the last year, but they are on the sata 2 ports now since i dont need them in raid any more.
The major problem is that windows wont recognize its partitions as valid, and pretends like it isnt even there. I have tried repairing in diskpart, and all the other options i could find on google.
Is there anything i can do to recover my windows installation?

Did you seperate your disks inside your RAID utility (where you created the RAID array) or did you just switch your BIOS to AHCI mode? If you did not break your RAID array then you will get all sorts of problems, like disk signature conflicts ect. I don't know with regards to your specific setup but your motherboard model is of more consequence than your hard drive, as it is your motherboard that controls your RAID array.

Also, you have not said anything about your RAID array. If you break a RAID0 array, either through hardware failure or with the best intentions, you lose everything on that array. RAID0 is used to create a high speed, single drive at great risk to any of the data contained on it. This is because your fault tolerance is halved when compared to a single device. If it was RAID1 then you should be able to recover your stuff but since you're talking about a SSDs and Veloceraptors, I'm guessing you mean RAID0 and not any of the other 7 or 8 flavours of RAID.

What happens if you set your SATA mode back to RAID?
