else:

I’ve gone through the instructions above, but one of my Intel SSD’s seemed to never properly “detach” from the RAID in the Intel menu.

I experienced a loooong wait (maybe 15-20 sec) on doing any type of action in the Intel Boot-RAID menu at POST. My guess is that one of the disks are partially defective.

HOWEVER: I was able to recover all the data making a .VHD image using “Free RAID 0 Recovery” like this:

(0. My RAID 0 disks was not on the OS btw)
1. Set both disks in the RAID 0 to non-members in the Intel boot-menu. Delete the RAID array if needed too.
2. Start up Windows OS. You will now find the disks as single disks, of course. Do not initialize any of them if prompted.
3. Download the software on http://www.freeraidrecovery.com. Install it.
4. Select both RAID 0 disks, now showing as single disks in the Device Manager and inside the Free Raid Recovery program.
5. The program will try to find the pattern by reading both disks, and eventually come up with options to how to save the data.
6. Choose the type of image you want to save the disk in. I was using a network disk through \\server\share which was convenient.

Now you can attach the VHD or VHDX in Disk Management in Windows, through right clicking “Disk Management” and “Attach VHD”.

Voialla!
