Hello,

i have three HDD from software RAID5, where the PCI raid controller is gone. I've tried different Raid 5 recovery software, but all of them found only the first partition. I dont have any idea how I should to continue with recovery.

Please can you help me.

Assuming you can correctly identify RAID parameters, you can look at info in MBR / Boot Sectors to identify partition starts and create regions to access them.

But really, both partition should be identified by MBR if built correct, or did you do anything to affect MBR info like format/initialize?

I think that I know well raid parametrs, that parameters show me more programs that I used.

I think that the disks and raid are untouched.

Please can you give me advice how to show MBR, where I can identify partitions?

Take used sectors count for partition from Boot Sector, set this as starting sector for a scan for lost volumes against your RAID5

Win Hex can be used to do this one. If you do not understand this one I would talk with Dr Kiev. There is a way in RStudio that he uses and you can use too in order to do this one.

I think, for the next partition you have to set another correct offsets for each drive (not from LBA0) . What the name of that PCI raid controller? And what does it mean "it gone" ?
