My Mobo is a Quad Core Duron with 4Gb ram.
I kept all my important data on a 1TB sata drive.
After purchasing two 500Gb identical drives, I took the data drive out and installed a Sata Raid0 on the two drives. I then installed Window7 64Bit ultimate on the striped raid array.
All went well.
My catastophy began when I shut down and attached the Data drive, as it rebooted, the Raid included the Data drive in the array and procedded to stripe it.
I have now lost all of my data.
I know now, that I should have told the mobo to use only sata 1 and two, and not 1 2 3 and 4.
My question is, can I recover this data or at least some of it ?
I did a "quick format" of the drive and ran a couple of recovery programs but all they saw was the "striped"
Windows stuff carried over from the two 500Gb drives.
Apart from that, nothing has been written to the drive.
Any help appreciated.
