Recover/Rebuild raid 1 array

Hello,

I have to recover the data on a raid1 array(2x maxtor 160GB). I don't know what controller / mobo the array was created on. The mobo I have is a ASUS A7B8X-E with silicon raid.

The individual drives are not recognised by windows but are recognised by the silicon raid utility.

In the raid utility:

Resolve Conflicts ->No conflicts exist!
Rebuild Mirrowed set -> No mirrored set. Press any key to return.

Will the create array option format the drives?

Basically need to get all the data & information.

Thanks

I think Ipkon networks soloution could have had its merits, perhaps not as well put as Rindl's but similar.
Your correct, I didn't read that post properly!

Thank you for everyone who tried to help!!!!

My solution in the end was very simple, I tried with another mobo (Asrock) and the hard drive was detected as a second drive in Windows as rindi suggested. But the Asus mobo did not want to detect the drive. I think all had valid suggestion that may work in different situations so I devided the points.
