My 2x 1TB WD SATA NTFS RAID 0 HDD setup is having a major problem. Only one drives is being recognized in Disk Management after I had to reformatted (because of a major group policy error the locked my out of my most important service) my OS and updated to windows 8.1. Now all of my files have been removed and only half can be retrieved from a partition recovery. Chkdsk will not fix it and diskpart isn't working correctly. Refreshing windows doesn't work and made things worse. Partition recovery is recognizing the RAID 0 array and with both drives as healthy in BIOS. In the partition recovery I am being shown with a lot of the files as a RAW file system.
So here's how it all started out. I created a VPN with my ASUS NT56u router awhile back and ended up deleting it. I ended up ruining my group permissions and couldn't get access to services and when I tried to start them I would get error messages. What I think is happening here is I got locked out of the one of the drives because chkdsk wouldn't and still wont repair the disks and says I am locked out of them.
I did a computer refresh and I was able to reformat windows. (Note my BIOS says my RAID 0 array has both drives but windows only recognizes one of the drives. Disk management says its 988GB when it should be 1.8TB.) From there every time I tried to update drives and devices the computer would either freeze or I'd get BSOD storahci.sys errors, so I upgraded to windows 8.1. THAT F'd everything up. All of my files were removed from the system and I had to reformat windows again.
Every time I restarted my computer I would have to reformat. Now I got my computer to where I don't have to reformat but Disk Mananger is still recognizing only one of the two RAID drive. Partition recovery is recognizing the 150 different partitions but a lot of the files have turned RAW or are lost.
Even with a RAID 0 I know you can get your files back with high quality partition recoveries. I know something is wrong with that drive and I don't know how to fix it because I HAVE TRIED EVERYTHING. I can recover some of the files but not all. Is there any way where I can find a .sys file or a system partition image file or some kind of data I can load from a partition recovery to my OS that can fix this.
Some of the RAW files when recovered work but have a video thumbnail but play music. None of the files should be RAW so I don't know how this inaccessible drive has turned RAW when it should be NTFS.
I greatly thank whoever fixes this problem because I have about 1.4TB of data I need to recover.
***ADDED***:
-I am also willing to find thedata in HEX Key and using a HEX editor to get all the files back.
-Recovering the non RAW drive files have the same file size as the original files when I download them but they just wont open
