recovering data from RAID 0 is a major pain in the ass!
A friend of my dad who does video editing for the local tv station had an external drive for all his data mostly video/audio stuff. its a 500gb lacie 1394b drive.
To make things a little faster this drive is not one 500gb drive but rather two 250gb in a RAID 0 array. of course he didnt back up his data and murphy's law struck, fortunately is was just the electronics of the harddrive enclosure that failed and the drives are fine but I cant just plug the drives into my PC and copy the files since its RAID0.
On top of all that within the RAID0 its a HFS+ partition and I use a windows PC so im using software that allows me to simulate a RAID0 environment with the two drives hooked to my system and then read HFS+ volumes.
But its kind of trial and error in getting the right settings for the RAID setup since I dont know what it was before.
If anyone has more experience with RAID Id welcome any advice that makes my life easier.
