Hi,

I have a Western Digital MyBook World Edition Blue Rings 1TB that was configured in Striped Raid Mode (2x500GB), the problem is that the Board got fried but the Drives are still intact, I checked on them using several windows applications.

Now I have them installed on my Windows XP workstation and I need to Reconstruct the RAID to be able to Retrieve my Data.

I have downloaded 3 software for trial to identify which one will do better:
- Diskintenals Raid Recovery
- Runtime Raid Reconstructor
-Quetek File Scavenger

But all of these software to work will need several info like:
- RAID0 or JBOD
- Stripe Size
- Starting Sector

If anyone has any info on these or any alternative on how to recover my Data Please post your replies, i will be really thankful.

If you want to DIY and you have no info about how the RAID was configured (it is user-configurable), you have no alternative than investigate and try.... (assuming you know how RAID works) .
Option #2 : every EXPERT can determine - having your drives at hand - how the RAID was configured and get data out.

Clone your drives and work on clone, not on live data.
