The 3rd Disc was just a basic drive on the sec ide.
I think I will go get another HD and do what you said. I want to try and
keep the info intact even if I can't get it off the drives at this time.
Thanks Again

Was this (third IDE disc) a basic disc or a dynamic disc?.
As for the RAID-0 array did you try setting up Windows on a completely
independent disc (in the same computer) then seeing if the array can be
read from the new Windows installation?

Hi John John
You are right about the backups. My latest backup dident have the files I
need. Yes I should have been more proficent at doing CD or DVD backups ...but
I did put the info onto another HD in the same conputer that was not on the
raid 0 it was on an IDE cable this drive won't even show up in my
computer...it only shows up in bios and disc management. ??????? Why wont it
show up????? Disc management says unallocated disc. I can allocate it cause
it will destroy the data. Can I install XP on this HD without formating it?
If I can will the files still be there?
Thank You
Mike

Does it not ask you at that point (when it goes to to the C:\ prompt) to
select an installation to logon to? Even if you have only one
installation you have to type in a number then press <Enter> to log on
to the installation. In your case, if you only have one Windows you
will probably have to type in the number 1 and then press enter. You
will then be prompted for a password. You should see something like this:
Type 'exit' to leave the command prompt and reboot the system.
1: C:\WINDOWS
Which Windows installation would you like to logon to (enter to abort)?
At that screen you MUST type in the number 1 (or other as seen on the
screen) and press enter. You are not logged in to the installation
until you do so and any attempts to enter commands without logging on
will result in an Access Denied message.
The set AllowAllPaths = true will not work unless you previously enabled
its use in the Local Security Policy. That is a mute point. You have
sufficient access privileges with the standard Recovery Console
permissions without having to enable the Set command. From the Recovery
Console you can access these folders:
- The root folder of any drive
- The %SystemRoot% folder and the subfolders of the Windows installation
you are currently logged on to
- The Cmdcons folder
- Removable media drives such as CD-ROM drives
That is sufficient access rights to carry out the repairs that you were
attempting, there is no need to use the Set command to use the Recovery
Console to repair Windows, all the necessary permissions are already
present.
Fixing an installation on RAID 0 can be touchy business! One misstep
and you may completely lose all the data on both drives, if it isn't
already lost. I'm sure you don't need to hear this but it has to be
said for the benefit of others who might be reading. Keeping valuable
files and data on a hard disc without a backup is not a very smart thing
to do. Not backing up precious data stored on RAID 0 is absolute folly!
Good luck!

Hi Blades....The recovery console does not ask me for a password...it asks
for R for recovery... F3 for escape....and Enter to continue installing
windows. I hit R and it goes right to the C:\ prompt. Then I do the md thing
like windows asks and it says denied. I did what you said and i got The set
command is currently disabled. The SET command is an optional recovery
console that can only be enabled by using the security configuration and
analysis snap-in. Huh??? HELP!
Thanks

Between the time you log into the Recovery Console and the time you try
