Raid 0 Recovery deleted array and rebuild...
Posted: Fri Mar 25, 2011 1:56 pm
Hello all,
i'm currently demo R-Studios right now and have a few questions
before i start. here are my problem or issue i'm currently going through.
i have 2 750GB hard drives RAID 0 using Intel ICH9R, and i believe the default RAID strip size is 128kb
i accidently deleted the wrong RAID array and thought i would be able to get the files back if i RAID the 2 hard drives(did not format the drive), but man was i wrong! from what i've been told i'm SOL.
The volume is NTFS
i have check raid recovery presentation and finding RAID parameters on r-studios website, but i'm still confused as to what offset means http://www.r-tt.com/Articles/RAID_Recov ... AID5-2.png
I'm assuming it's raid offset, using the hex view i can only see one drive that would show me the MBR Patterns which starts at sector 0, the other hard drive doesn't show me where the MBR starts and it's not in sector 0, but i'm assuming that i have over written the MBR when i created the new array.
also is blocksize = strip size?
when i do a scan and preview the pictures the pictures are out of order
i'm not sure what else i can try. could it be just the offset settings are what i'm missing? and if so how can i find it? also i had one big partation file on my raid 0
i have also done some searchs on the forums and couldn't find much info
hope to hear back from anyone on here!
