Now that`s just taking the pish. Cos DOpus can`t link the icons from it`s quick launch toolbar thingy, it uses a yellow smiley face as the icon!
I got a large column of 20 or so yellow smiley faces down the left hand side of meh screen !!

Have you lost the array completely or is it on the way out? I can recommend Active@ UNDELETEname='Rastalovich' said:

I`m at a stage at the moment where the Array existance is no longer available, but as far as the data on both drives are concerned, they are intact.
I scanned it with something from R-Studio, which creates a mock array from drives u drop in it, and it detected some stuff (haven`t looked any deeper than stuff cos I had to goto work).
What it seems to require is the same as this R-Studio software is seeming to do. Array doesn`t exist, but if u give it the 2 drives and tell it there was one there, it`ll scan across both.
Not sure if Active Undelete will set that up b4 a scan.

Spot on, I`d rather use them than the freeware tool.
Thanks pv.

Hey,
Well I got home and the freeware one I left running had crashed ... pc was fine, just a software crap-out.
Amoungst the things I can use is Active stuff, so equipped with that I scanned the 2 drives as a virtual and it found ALL the stuff on it, including of course the stuff I intentionally deleted.
After 5 or so hours of a deep scan, it gives this list of what it says is healthy stuff, but when recovering - stops @ 32.2 mb for each file. WorldInConflict download as an example, shows 1.66g and healthy for recovery and craps @ 32.2m.
Now I`m trying a different strip size on the virtual atm, cos honestly it was all I could think of at the time.

Did you download the demo version or the paid for 'registered version'? The demo version is limited in file size recovery. I'd try setting the stripe size differently; you running this under Vista or XP? I haven't experienced the issue that you are but you should be able to get some good info from LSoft' support team. There should be a link to CS under their help section on the front page. I'll have a look through their knowledge base and see what I can find too

Demo does a fit at about 64k iirc.
That sounds familiar tbh, think I read that the last time I had a catastrophe to sort out. Been so long I can`t remember. But what I do remember, was retrieving the stuff very well, not on a raid tho, that was a crapped out ide drive.
This is on an XP around sp2, it was an ABit Raid creation. The posing question was 128 strip ? Now I could have sworn it was 64, so I tried 64 first, but I have a feeling I may have been incorrect.

Ok I tried 128 and it gave me average results of 43.2mb, I say average cos a file or 2 allowed 50 and slightly above.
I`m setting up a virtual via the spanning method as opposed to the Raid0 option it has. Worth a shot.
Thanks for the help PV btw, I am prepared to give this spanning a try plus perhaps one shot from an educated source, then I think I`ll cut my losses and score what I can.
Tbh out of a 372g raid, the most important things are the save-games LOL. But of course the fullest recovery would be both an experience and more time saving in the long run.
