Data recovery problem
 

Hi All,
I have a 4tb RAID array which stores all of my data in a RAID 0.

Last night I got the error on boot up (BIOS) that one of the disks had an error. The RAID is an Intel ICH10R using 2 WD Caviar Blacks.

In the past I used this guide to recover the RAID which worked awesome

However this time even though it had seen the array and written the 2 partitions, none of the files were present.

I ran the procedure again and on boot Windows ran check disk to repair the files. This took around 8 hours however only 10% of the files are now there.

Even though windows is reporting the hard drive space on each partition correctly the data is lost. Most of what is there is corrupt.

I am currently running a deep inspection using GetDataBack NTFS but does anyone have any idea in case this doesn't work.

My last backup was the 18th of December so not the end of the world, but still i'd like to be able to pull all the files back if possible

RAID 0 is very risky, and with 'fakeraid' based RAID such as the ICH10R even more so. I don't even trust fakeraid to do RAID 1 mirror's properly as I have suffered data corruption even then, so the reality is that your data is very likely unrecoverable.

Unfortunately I think you're right. I've check my backups and they are fine so I've lost about 5 weeks worth. I know, I should have done it more often.:brickwall
