My steps:
1. set bios back to raid
2. removed the 2 remaining member disks from array in controller
3. remade array identical to original and controller said normal.
4. booted to windows, E drive missing as expected, disk manager said uninitialized
5. started testdisk and did quicksearch, it started at 74% done, 270k clusters of 360k, no partition found
6. depper scan, found partition within 10 sec, checked files where there, ok.
7. Write
8. reboot, all fine, volume is there, files are there.
Now here is the thing. RST says 3 of the disks are fine, but one missing. I can still access the files and copy them over to a USB drive. And they work on both the USB I copied to and the source broken raid set. Can you use parity files on the fly? Thought you had to rebuild before the volume was accessable when one disk failed in raid 5. I haven't rebooted again, so I don't know if all disks are still fine in raid controller bios, but they were when I booted up after testdisk.
Is RST messing with me? Or whats going on?
Can't complain, saved my files. But any idea whats going on here?
