Retrieving Files from RAID


Recommended Posts

would a USB -> SATA external doc work?

No thats not likely going to work....It might if its a RAID 1...

and im not quite sure how to use it... do i just plug in 1 hdd at a time.. then run the program?

I have not used this program (yet) but I would guess you connect all the HDD's thats part of the RAID and install the program to access it.

tried the program but it seems to only recover files from non-raid drives..

got a trial version of the program they have that actually recovers the files but only full version allows u to save the files and its 250USD..

any cheaper way to get the files back?

but there has to be a way to retrieve the files from RAID.. or else everytime someones motherboard dies.. they'd be in trouble...

the program peterUK suggested should work if it wasn't $250USD.. some sort of software RAID?

the old motherboard i used was asus p4c800-e.. can someone please suggest some newer boards that would let me get the files back??

thanks

the raid is still in tact and fully functional.. but im not sure where i can find a comp that can load the raid..

old motherboard = asus p4c800-e deluxe, intel 875p chipset

any mobo still on sale that can load it?

Do you know if it was the Intel ICH5R or Promise 20378 RAID controller you used on that board? Or what SATA ports you used to setup the RAID.

Hey OP, what are the symptoms of your broken desktop? Does it not power up? Does it power up, but nothing show on the screen? Maybe we can help you fix your broken PC....

It might be easier to fix your computer than do a RAID recovery.

my desktop will boot til after the Scanning for IDE drive+RAID configurations screen.. then black screen.. and either it restarts or stops..

after restarting from that.. it wont even show anything and just shut down after 3-5 seconds..

its not my hdd or ram cuz i tried to pull them from a working comp and same thing happened..

tried with only my PSU, cpu, mobo, ram+hdd from diff comp and still wouldnt load pass scanning for drives..

    • I'd say the first one failed to be as popular as Apple anticipated, but the easy adjustment here is to make fewer of them next time around. It would only be a "flop" if it isn't possible for Apple to recover the design and factory tooling costs given the number of units sold, which I doubt would be the case. It isn't like no one bought them; it just failed to become the new hot phone of the year.
    • You're right that it does not follow the plain meaning of the word, but in this context, it is a legal term defined in 49 U.S.C. Kind of how "wire fraud" laws apply even if a physical wire was not used. Given that it is codified in law, and it isn't just automotive journalists that don't understand evolving technology, I highly doubt congress would change a well understood term just because technology makes the term slightly less actuate.
    • This is exactly why I keep saying we are not ready for human free self-driving. These little "bugs" are may seem like random one-offs. There was also the Waymo that drove between police with drawn weapons and the suspect they were pointing them at. From a software perspective it is easy to understand how those extremely rare situations may not have been programed for, but that is the point. If AI needs to be told to watch out for every possible contingency, then it can never be successful. There will always be the possibility of a first encounter that the AI needs to understand to avoid.
