Re: Need help with corrupted RAID array



Hi,

How do you know it is the file system that is damaged and not the raid
array?
Have you run a chkdsk yet from the Recovery Console?

One of the biggest dangers with a raid 0 array is that if something goes
wrong with a drive, recovery of data is hampered by the striping and is
often unrecoverable.
