Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Hello, I have a HP Z440 workstation, starting in the / parameters of the BIOS / Advanced Startup Parameter
hard disks are no longer apparent, after a disk test from the BIOS the disks are well detected, but marked in mode
- not available -
The RAID list of disks in the advanced BIOS is non-existent, I can not do Dual Boot anymore.
The Windows 10 system has been reinstalled and activated from a USB key - the boot system on Windows 10, without problem.
Thank you for all the help you can bring me to activate the available mode disks, so that it is available in
The advanced boot parameters of the BIOS and either apparent on the screen.

Been a week and has been read 160+ times with not response.

 

I am not a raid expert but have dabbed in it.

Since you mention dual boot I assume Linux or some version

 

I am guessing that "not available" means the file format is not as expected.  Such as MBR instead of GPT or ExFat instead of NTFS or something off-the-wall different.  You should be booting from a drive and have the other 2 (ore more) in a raid array.

Is this software raid or do you have a controller card with the drives attached?  I would pull the controller and get the system fully up to date before putting the controller back in (or configuring the software raid)

 

Someone that has worked with the a440 needs to help.
