Raid Recover

As far as I know, you must have the same controller. Its would be even better to have the same motherboard to restart Windows.

Other solutions are may be specialized company that will do recover but they are very normally expensive.

Man, an external backup is so cheap today!

I have an external backup AND an on-line backup (I-Drive).

I have done a recovery myself with the exact same controller. It is VERY possible, but it does take time. I used a program called R-Studio to recover the data.

What made the recovery take a long time is you have to guess the stripe size. You will know if the stripe size is wrong because pictures will be screwed up when viewed. My advice is to do a recovery of a picture folder to a spare hard drive, then look at them all and see if they look funny. You'll know right away if something is wrong, it'll be like someone cut the picture in 1/2 and swapped the halves around. If all goes well you'll be up and running in a day or 2.

Listen carefully to these comments, I've watched people lose data for not listening to these:

1. ALWAYS recover TO a hard drive that is NOT one of the drives you are going to recover.
2. DO NOT try to 'rebuild' the array until you are 100% SURE you have recovered all of your data.
3. DO NOT assume that since you found the directory structure that your files will be ok(and skip checking your pictures).
4. ANY questions, ask. Recovery is only possible as long as you don't write over data on the drives.

When this happened to me I freaked for several days, but I did get about 90% of my data back.

got the soft working on it thanks mate
