I'm trying to recover a RAID array consisting of a pair of 250GB Hitachi SATAs that I had configured on my old system (that died) using the motherboards onboard RAID controller. I tried hooking it up to my NEW system and simply recreating the array but that didn't work. Then I tried Runtime's RAID Reconstructor (which ran for 27 hours) only to run GetDataBack on it and not be able to recover a damn thing!!
GDB can SEE lots of my files but when I try to open them (either through GDB or after recovery) they are corrupt. Most of the stuff is video files for home videos and stuff that I really don't want to lose.
Put simply I have a pair of 250GB drives that were originally in a striped array that I can no longer use but I want to recover the data. What tools can I use and are there some guides for it? I didn't like the RAID reconstructor because it gives several options for de-striping and "suggests" you use a certain one but since I don't know data recovery I don't know WTF any of it means.
