Accidental RAID migration

    Came home yesterday only to find someone had accidently done a RAID migration on my PC :mad:

    My PC has two 320GB drives but now only displays one, the main C: drive. I pulled out the second drive and hooked it up to another PC but I still could not access the drive. Is there anyway I can get the data off it that I have stored on it as I really don't want to lose it.

    whats way were the 2 disks configured ? RAID 1? or stripped ?

    If its Raid 1 = you have lost noting as the 2 and is only a mirror image of the 1st

    If it was stripped you should have lost all,

    Is there any data recovery programs that could retrieve the data ?

    Seen a program called "GetDataBack" on the net from here: http://www.runtime.org/data-recovery-software.htm

    wonder if it would be worth getting and trying :confused:

    I used that on a damaged disk (inaccessible in Windows). Was a bit clumsy but it worked.

    I got GetDataBack and it's just finished scanning, it's found my data but it's all over the place. Pictures I have (1000's +), only a handful will display.

    Anyone know if it is possible to get another piece of software that can rebuild data ?

    Ended up using GetDataBack, got near all my pictures back which was the most important thing and some music but anything bigger was lost.
