I created a GSATA RAID1 & tried to re-create your problem. The first thing to come to mind is that after the flash, the GSATA settings in the BIOS did not get set to RAID/IDE but remained at the default IDE setting. I got an error message in the Gigabyte Raid Configurer "GBB36X Raid Device is not found!". Making this change to RAID/IDE may restore your RAID setup.
Word of warning. The JMicron or Gigabyte Raid Configurer software is not as intelligent as it should be. For example, I placed a file in one hard drive and then created a RAID1 which should have duplicated the HD. It created the RAID1 but the files were not seen in my Win7x64. I highly recommend you make a backup from the one drive with the visible files in case you need to recreate the RAID.
Gigabyte's GSATA driver on their website is version 1.17.50.2. Station-Drivers has an update to 1.17.65.11 but I could not install the application. They have the drivers without the application so you can update via the windows device manager.

has update to the intel OROM and ethernet, no changes to the JMicron OROM. Use Intel RST 12.8.6.1000 for best stability and great performance:
ICH10R southbridge - v12.7.0.1936
8111C ethernet - rtegrom257.lom

downgraded the JMicron OROM to what was in the F10 bios in case that works better for your situation.
