Hi,
I have (or used to, until about 15 minutes ago...) 3 500GB WD drives in a RAID05 array on the onboard AMD RAID controller. I booted using an Ubuntu CD, thinking that (as the website said...) it wouldn't write anything to any of my disks. When I rebooted, I noticed that the controller found not the usual single array, in good health, but 3 distinct drives!
I am booted back into Vista now, and haven't opened the drives at all, and am hoping that there is some way I can reconstruct the array without losing any of the data on the drives. There is about 800GB worth of data I am praying is still there.
Any suggestions? I did a quick look on the net before posting here, and it looks like there are some solutions available, but *free* and *reliable* are my primary concerns.
From a desperate guy wishing he'd never wanted to check out Ubuntu,
Thank you,
