Recover Raid structure of dynamic disks
Posted: Sat Nov 10, 2012 5:26 pm
Thank you in advance of reviewing my post and offering to share your knowledge.
Windows Server 2008
Raid-5(windows) comprised of 5 disks, each of which were set as Dynamic prior to Raid configuration
This setup is not using a raid controller this is a software(windows) setup.
Raid was a data partition and not the OS.
Long story short....I'm an idiot, and this is my last option.
I had a disk failure and attempted to replace the failed disk and once the disk was replaced instead of repairing the raid I deleted it.
I then recreated the Raid but have not formatted it.
Can the original raid structure be recovered and the data be restored?
I've attempted to identify the disk order using hex/dec editor within r-studio without success or understanding.
Thanks again for your input.
