Hey guys I am new to this forum, ANy help would be greatly appreciated. I have got an Iomega 2.7TB NAS Storage with Raid 5 configuration according to the client. Four 750GB drives, all four drives are healthy and image fine, Ran R-studio on single drive but cant open any files. The files seems to be corrupted. Connected all four drives back in the Iomega Storage devise and tried to connect to a computer to run software. Computer sees the storage device but R-studio doesn’t (so cant run R-studio with all 4 drives connected) Any advise? How to approach this?

No offense but I think you need to start with learning how RAIDs work...

Maybe you should ask whoever wrote this on your website

You cant just recover files from one drive thats part of an ARRAY of drives!

whats wrong with the nas. i bet the power unit is fused- and it doesnt turn on right..

You need to rebuild the array - and then recover it using software.. Try that and see what happens.

use winhex or UFS explorer to manually put the drive back together in the raid.


and as others have said, you will not get back any working data with only one drive. Unless you are looking for files under 64k. :) since that is probably the stripe size.
