Hi all! I'm trying to recover a RAID5 and I'm very close to do it, I determined with winHex that the stripe was 128sectors, the parity was (1·2·p,3·p·4,p·5·6)- well, in fact it is a HP RAID and it has parity blocks of 16 stripes (1·2·p,3·4·p,5·6·p, ..., 31·32·p, 33·p·34, ..., 63·p·64, p·65·66, ..., p·95·96) and I think the offset is zero. I found two NTFS partitions, and from the biggest one (244GB) I've recovered succesfully every JPG imaged that I've tried (JPG's over 1.5 MB), but the data I'm interested in is in the ¿first? partition (29GB) (it's displayed as partition1, the other one as partition 2) and I can't get files larger than some kB, they're all corrupt.
Any tip? What am I doing wrong? The first NTFS partition starts at ¿disk1? sector #32, and the first sector of the same disk contains some bytes of information, but between 1st and 32nd, all zeros.
I'm using RTT and WinHex.
Thanky you very much.

I'm sorry Beto.

I'm going to take screenshots.

By now, I'm think that some information is rewrited.
