Successful RAID0 recovery.

#1 Post by cretin »

Omg thank you. after freaking out and thoughts of suicide over my fucked RAID0, I found testdisk.

was so simple:

1. Made all disks in the array non member (warns all data we be deleted but is not)
2. Remade arary with same settings.
3. Ran testdisk, it found the EFI GPT patition. (was so happy to see my files)
4. wrote bootsector
5. reboot. my raid0 is 3x1tb drives. in "computer" win7 only showed the raid as being 2tb. but disk management showed the full 3tb.
6. shrunk and expanded the drive to get the full 3tb back.

i will be donating in due time.
