I was so happy when I tested ZAR and paid for my version right way, but I do still need help.
There is my story:
My Raid disks (24X200GB in 2 arrays) crashed last Friday, I even restarted the system a few times after it, I am very sure all data should be fine.
After I tested many tools (by viewing an ASCII file)
I decided to purchase ZAR, it did a very good job to recover my all Disks, so I used 2 disks (1 from each array) to reinstall the system.
After System up running, I tried to attach my SQL server data file (the date and size seems right). But I got an error that my SQL server cant read the file!!!
After many tries and read many posts on-line, I realized that my data file not recovered correctly, I then test some other ZAR recover binary files, such as image files gif/png, and some zipped files, such as zip/rar, now I realized many files actually didn't restored correctly.
I cant view many image files, cant unzip my compressed files...
I was running on a window 2000 advanced server (32bit), and saved to a window 2008 server (64bit), I then even tested to save to save system window 2000 server 932bit, the image files still cant be open.
As I read from rick7878 "Image header corrupt after recover" thread, I believe that my files have not restored correctly.
Please HELP, and save me!
