the only way to get those files back, is to get your RAID 0 array back up and recognized...if not, all data will be lost...
need your system specs too...

Seattle, WA | He attempted to put a RAID 0 configuration together with drives that already had data on them. I think he's fux0red.  |

hmmm, seems i was lost to that translation  ..yup, a definite fubar if I ever saw one...you can't take two drives with data, and raid0 them (*edit* and not delete the data)...ouch
and once you created that array, you lost all your data on those drives...now your raid 0 array needs to be formatted in windows to be seen as a single disk...but you'll never get your data back...i'm assuming that you have another drive as your boot disk as well

1 edit | ya i i didn't format the raid 0 array yet ... so right now i am trying this software called Restorer 2000 Pro and since the HDs are 400gigs it would take whole night to scan for files !
I have 4 400 gig HD and 1 250 gig as system drive, i am lucky i didnt do the raid 0 on all 4 HD !! |

Seattle, WA | Good luck. Even if that program can find the files, the issue then becomes how to restore them. If that program can create a Master File Table (MFT) based upon the files it finds, you'll be very lucky. I'm not sure how that program works.

I found something very funny in their "FAQ."
»www.bitmart.net/unformat&uneraseFAQ.shtml#12
12. I accidentally deleted all 3 partitions on my hard disk but did not do a format while reinstalling Windows 2000. Everything was intact after the removal of partitions. I used Ontrack's Easy Recovery 5.03 previously and although I managed to find the files, they were all corrupted upon retrieval (those larger than the cluster size). According to the software, they are supposed to be in good shape. My partitions are as follows: 1. 5GB 2. 5GB 3. 4GB
When I used Restore 2000 trial, I actually found 6 partition of information, which were pretty accurate and the directories structure was there. But I'm afraid that the files would be corrupted again after I retrieve it. Is there anyway to find out? I don't want to purchase software and realize that it couldn't work. Should I purchase the Professional or the Standard version? Does the software perform a read-only? Is this really a frequently asked question? ROFL
