This topic will be helpful for persons who need any consultation in Disk Recovery. If you utilize built-in Raid controller, it can require the Raid array restoration facilities. So, have a look at one example. Fancy that you have installed AMD SB 600 embedded chip set controller with a Raid array on it. It worked without any problems and you were glad, but then there came time to renew your aged hardware. And you settled to select Intel Core processor. You've settled what main board to choose and you find there an embedded ICH9R controller, you have replaced your HDD, but Raid array isn't identified yet. There are 2 ways out:
1. One of the ways is to purchase new hard drives and reequip on them a new Raid array. This will attract the occasion when you need to transport your old info on a new hard drive and it would take a lot of time to do it and to recover previous Raid array.
2. Or you may apply to a “Data recovery lab” where your Raid array will be restored for some certain sum of money and during little period of time by facilities of file transfer. But the difficulty will not just subsist in situation when people utilize outer Raid array, because in this case people need only to transfer a controller with hard drives. Another problem is semi-hardware controllers that overfilled the market nowadays. Such controllers can restore only 1, 0+1, 5 Raid arrays and some other methods of file recovery are not available for them.
The usage of “mirroring” as assurance of protection. There is an opinion that the utilization of stripe (Raid 0) deprives people of file recovery and people who don't use it are strictly secured from the Raid arrays recovery. But there are situations when no “mirroring” would assist you because there are a lot of difficulties as virus assaults, driver problems in the operating system and electricity defaults. So, what people can do in this situation? In this situation you should not strive to restore the data from a Raid array or to restore the whole Raid array. The best thing that can be made is of course taking your PC to a data restoration professional or getting specialized Raid restoration software. You can save your info only utilizing these pieces of advice and without inventing self-made restoration deeds. Read the rest of this entry »
