Recovering Data from a RAID System

If you have a corrupted RAID configuration and one or more drives in the array are damaged, you can combine the healthy drives together with the damaged drives in a virtual disk array. If the damaged drives are inaccessible, you can substitute a "dummy" drive as a replacement. ARAX Disk Doctor simulates the RAID assembly and you can scan this virtual array as a logical device.

The Virtual Disk Array Wizard will guide you through the process of assembling together the parts of a corrupted RAID disk array. To start this wizard, do one of the following:

Select Wizards in the Command Bar and click Recover From Damaged RAID
From the Wizards menu, click Create Virtual Array

After the wizard opens, follow the instructions provided.

Note:
You may need to refresh the Recovery Explorer tree to see a newly-created device. To do this, from the View menu, click Refresh. You can also press F5 key on your keyboard.
If you complete the Virtual Disk Array Wizard and the new device is inaccessible, repeat the wizard steps selecting a different sequence of disks and geometry settings.
