I would backup ALL your file systems off that disk, perhaps using a
Linux rescue CD, then configure the controller in the BIOS for JBOD, use
a rescue disk to build mdraid partitions, and restore your files from
the backups. you may have to rebuild the /boot/initrd on the system to
dump the fakeraid (dmraid) driver and enable the mdraid native linux
raid driver
Fake Raid like Intel Matrix Raid is NOT recommended for linux/unix systems
