any ideas to get a raid 0 array working again? the drives are fine and all the data is on them, but raid doesn't want to recognize them. someone suggested rtools, but a demo version only lets you recover 64kb files. key? other options?
Is this a good question?

If the RAID set is broken, yet you can read the data, your best option is to copy off what you can/need.
The only way I know to get a broken RAID 0 set back working is to set it up as new - which means the existing data is going to be erased.
RAID 0 is all about speed and performance - there is NO data redundancy... Depending on how your RAID controller and RAID 0 set was created, you may only lose files split across the drives (JBOD mode). If your RAID 0 was in Striped mode, you will probably need pay for something like rtools.
Was this answer helpful?
that's what I figured, I'm trying to decide if rtools is worth it because I don't actually remember what's on them. If I knew, I'd be able to decide. Oh you, impasse!

R-Studio is a great thing. You will certainly be able to use it for other things beside this problem.
