My system (XP Home SP 2) froze during a system restore and my file system was damaged and I cannot boot to Windows or safe mode. I have two SATA
drives in a RAID 0 array. Is there any way to repair the file system? Any
third party tools, or anything else I can try?? I really need to recover
some of the files.
