forgot about that parameter, because the OS booted as it did before the update.
the last time i swited it to raid, i had to clear install the OS (w7).
after rebooting in raid-mode, the system recognized the raid configuration, before entering the windows OS.
So you obviously got your RAID back by just switching the SATA mode BIOS setting.
Please remember:
- Before you are going to flash a new BIOS version, you should note all your individual BIOS settings.
- After having flashed a new BIOS version, the first step is always to enter the BIOS and to reset the appropriate SATA mode of the SATA Controller. Otherwise you are not able to boot into your previously used SATA configuration.

at the moment, one partition seems to be lost. This is a partitions where i installed some programs like Thunderbird. some directories are locked. I will reboot my pc again to find out if it can recover some data.
As a workaround to save some of your recently created or received data you may temporarily reset the SATA Controller to "AHCI" mode, reboot into the previously working system, save the most important data onto an extern medium (USB flash drive) and then recover your RAID configuaration.

does intel something about my concerns about the lack of communication of this software if it isn't working?
The Intel RST Console would have given you all needed informations, if you would have looked for them. AHCI and RAID systems are using exactly the same RST Console software.
You obviously got the information by the RST Console, that there was something wrong with your system, but you didn't realize, that you had caused the issue yourself by having updated the BIOS without redoing the individual BIOS settings.
