RAID 1 Data Recovery FREEWARE Full Version RAID Software

DTI Data Recovery is happy to announce a new full version FREEWARE data recovery software for RAID 1 users. If you are using a RAID 1 which is a mirrored set of hard drives, and the RAID no longer boots, than we can help. More home users are getting their computers with RAID hard drives installed, even though a mirror is the best RAID for a home computer, hard drives do fail.
When on of the two hard drives within a RAID 1 fails, sometimes the system is unable to read the partition. This is especially true if the disk 0 hard drive containing a RAID 1 fails. Most of the time the system will still boot, but if it doesn’t then you can no longer access your data! For this reason DTI Data Recovery has created a FREEWARE RAID data recovery software that will allow users to take either of the broken RAID 1 hard drives and mount it as a single drive. Once the RAID 1 hard drive has been converted to a single drive, your system will be able to read and copy your data off of the damaged RAID 1.
Visit our Freeware data recovery software page to download the RAID 1 data recovery software. This is a full version freeware, not a demo or a trial. Call 727-345-9665 if you have any questions.
I had a WD MyBook failure. It contained two 500GB drives and I set them up in RAID1 (mirrored). I removed the drives from the WB box and purchased an new USB external box. I installed the “B” drive in the box and I downloaded your program. I am attempting to recover the data from the “B” drive at this time.
These drives were not used for boot-drives but simply for external storage. I get four entries as detailed below:
SS SC EH ES EC Rel Sectors Total Sectors
1 3 254 63 368 48195 5879790
1 369 254 63 381 5927985 208845
1 382 254 63 504 6136830 1975995
1 505 254 63 1023 8112825 968655240
I have run the MBR Scan and the status reports: 2937 of 478807 and it has been stuck there for a while.
I can be reached at my toll-free number – 1-800-226-8584 x 3166. We are a non-profit newspaper and I have stored vital data on that drive for the past year.
Thank you.
Good Evening: I have a E-9220T with an “intel” motherboard and intel RAID + matrix manager configured as follows:
SATA 0 – 80 GB HDD – non raid – operating system
SATA 1 – NOT USED
SATA 2 – 400 GB RAID
SATA 3 – 400 GB RAID
I have not used the machine for many months and turned it on and observed that all three disks are now “non raid”
I am able to start the machine and boot up into the windows server however the two raid disks are not recognized in windows.
I am able to enter into raid utility (Cntl I) – and the three physical drives are recognized and listed as “non raid drives”
How do I re-create or re-initialize the raid array?
