RAID 5 problems
Posted: Thu Sep 10, 2009 9:04 am
Hi All,
I am having issues with my RAID 5 and need to try to recover the data from it.
I have an Areca ARC-1220 with 5 WD 500GB drives setup in a RAID 5. One of the drives failed and now the OS (windows 2008) is seeing the file system as RAW instead of NTFS. When I initially ran R-Studio, the Areca controller showed up in the drive panel with only the 3 paritions (H:, I: and J:) listed, no indication that it was a raid set. When I looked at the tutorial on how to create a virtual RAID, the screen shots showed each drive in the array should be selectable in the drive panel, but that was not the case for me. I only saw parition information. When I tried to do a scan of the parition, R-Studio crashed just after the scan completed. I am not really sure where to go from here. How can I create a virtual RAID?
Much obliged for any help!
