Hi, I have 2 hard drives which I had used in my Linksys mediahub. One being a WD5000AVVS which came with my mediahub and the other being a Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 which I had just gotten back from Seagate repair for its crapped up firmware.

Being the idiot that I am I thought it would be a good idea to hook them up in Raid 0. Well everything worked fine for about a week. Then the Media hub started having problems accessing the files. So I contacted Linksys Support which proved to be a complete waste of time.

So I decided to check if the drives would work in Ubuntu. After booting into Ubuntu, the first drive, the WD one, was working fine. But the Barracuda did not show any partitions. So after using alot of HDD diagnostic tools I Found that the first 40 sectors are corrupted and that I have no MBR or partition tables intact.

I then ran a recovery program which says that it managed to find files.
So I'm thinking all the data is there but how do I retrieve it?

My question is, is there anyway to rebuild the MBR and partition table and still have all the data intact?
Since it is Raid 0 shouldn't the MBR and Partition table for both dives be similar?

Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks in advance

On some raid0 systems, not all the drives should have mbr.

But there seems to be problems accesing the first 40 sectors which is making recovery abit hard.
Any suggestions on how I can check if there is supposed to be a MBR there?
