Comment: ACK! I have (had) two 200GB Serial ATA drives in a RAID 0 configuration connected to an on-board Promise 378 RAID controller on an Asus MoBo. The computer just froze up, and now it will not boot at all. The config. utility for RAID cannot rebuild or re-create the RAD array. So here's my question - How can I recover the data from either (or both) drives? Any help would be greatly appreciated... even if it's to tell me I'm hosed.

Reply: (edit)As Jimi says, its kaput. With a Raid O system the data is split between the two disks. Half a file will be on one disk and half on the other. It will take some very expensive data recovery to get it back for you. Stuart
