Am I right in thinking this means the partitions have been trashed? Do you know for a fact that you have the correct Adaptec drivers loaded when you run BartPe ? No I don't. But since I can read the first disk (all three attached to the same controller) then I assume the drivers are all right. Is that a mistake? T

RE: [H] Foreign disks in diskpart
There was raid0 in Win2000 You could try Undelete by active (a dos program) it will look for files and directories. Maybe you can gather enough bits and pieces to know where to direct your energies.

In my Disk Mgmt snapin Windows doesn't even know that my drives are in a raid array as it just shows one primary active partition. As far as I can tell in the Adaptec setup, there is no RAIDing being done. The only thing that would tell me if my raid is broken other than Windows not booting is the SIL Raid bios so I would think that situation would also apply to you. It's just too fishy that you have 5 disks that are suppose to be in some sort of array the 5 partitions are exactly the same size as the HDs. That has to be more than a coincidence if Adaptec is telling you there is no array then I would take that as fact. --+-- Wayne D. Johnson Ashland, OH, USA 44805 http://www.wavijo.com
