Please help a novice!  My Asus 8AN-Sli deluxe system has been  running on the 
Sil 3114 chip with three matched 250 Gb Maxtor drives.  On a  reboot to 
install my All-In-Wonder X600, it never returned.  the post says  "no valid device" 
and the sil bios says "invalid raid drive".   Asus  says I lost two drives at 
once and I'm up a creek.  Can any one suggest a  method of retrieving data or 
recovering?? can i rebuild it without losing all  data??
