Data recovery and disk repair questions and discussions related to old-fashioned SATA, SAS, SCSI, IDE, MFM hard drives - any type of storage device that has moving parts

I had two Seagate 80 Gig drives in an old computer that, when they were formatted, were configured to function as a single 160 gig drive. My computer crashed one day, and I salvaged the two drives, and am now trying to restore the data. My problem seems to be that the recovery programs that I've used (Final Data 2.0 and GetDataBack) seem to work on only one physical drive at a time, and I'm not certain how to work to recover both drives. Any suggestions on how I can get the recovery software to work on both drives simultaneously?
Thanks!

I'm trying to recover the data from both drives, and copy it correctly to a new drive that I have. My problem is that some of the necessary file fragments are on both drives, and only recovering the data from one doesn't work.

U have to reconstruct the RAID structure to a good 160G drive according to what RAID type was on the drives. I suppose it was RAID0, so U have to find out the parameters:
stripe size and offset on each drive, then use some RAID recovery prog.

You can try to use RStudio.
RStudio can rebuild Raid volumes and then recover data.
Good look.
There is also Raid Reconstructor (from Runtime Software like the Get Data Back, I think)
Please tell us if you have a result.
