I am trying to recover files after a RAID array was mistakenly declared failed by Intel Rapid Storage Technology. After rebuilding the parition, I can see the list of my files when I use Undelete. However, when I try to actually undelete a file, I get "Record is in use by the mft" How would I get to fixing this?

Re: File undelete failing "Record is in use by the mft"
You can have this message when the original file was fragmented or when new files have been written on the disk after the deletion.
If everything failed, you can try PhotoRec on the free space of the partition.
Good luck
