Hi, all...
I have 6 HP 36.4 GB SCSI drives housing C: & D: partitions in a RAID 5 array. I'm told that the controller in the DL380 housing these died. When the drives were transferred to another DL380 the system wouldn't boot.
I bought ZAR & Zlon about 18 hours ago and I've been sitting here since trying to rescue some user data through trial & error. I've reinstalled the OS onto another drive & made sector-by-sector copies of the 6 drives to work with (one of the original 6 is generating S.M.A.R.T. error messages).
Each scan attempt spends about 80-90 minutes identifying data before telling me that no volume can be found. I've scanned for a partition & tried various manual configs, but each result yields only lists of various "LostFiles" directories full of corrupted files.
Is there something obvious that I'm missing here?
I've probably omitted some key info... I'd be happy to supply it if anyone can offer suggestions.
Thanks!
