Experienced with a crash on an Intel system using Windows 8.1. Had to restart from the main BIOS, reset settings, and restore everything. My system has three SSDs, but none were detected. I set the unknown one to Dynamic, which wiped it. After that, I reinstalled Windows and all drivers. Can you suggest a method to make the other two SSDs Dynamic without losing data? I want to keep my games and photos on the primary drive. Also, any YouTube tutorial links would be appreciated. Thanks ahead!

Only the storage devices are visible unless you used a different installation mode (UEFI GPT/Legacy MBR versus AHCI/RAID) and they weren’t included in a software RAID setup. If they were part of a software RAID, they won’t be accessible.

Never relied on a software raid.
