I'm hoping someone has some advice on what to do here:

I had a striped (RAID 0) Raid running windows Vista on my home computer. It decided to take a shit last night and stop working...

Long story short, one of the disks from my raid is fucked and I need to recover the most recent track I was working on.

Is there any way to get the data off the other disk??

simply put, ur data is fucked

Raid 0 == zero redundancy. Half your data is on the dead drive.

Raid 1 or raid 5 would of been fine.

sigh... so i lose my new tune - which is shit, because it was my best one yet.

But, Lessons learned.. I am going to build a Raid 5 with Seagate 500gb drives.

Up yours Western Digital!

if the drive decided to stop working.. maybe from a moving part either the needle or motor.. you can have the hard disks platters switched (in a clean room).. cost is about 1500$.. good business to get into

Yea - I looked into it and got an outrageous quote like that as well. As good as the track was, not sure that the steep pricetag would be worth it...

Thanks though!

I've also heard freezing the drive overnight and hooking it up to a external drive enclosure may work.. . np
