Recovering a striped set

[uray]

Hello,

I had a striped set under Win2000 server. I was working on another
striped set and something went wrong. After rebooting I lost the striped
set that I *wasn't* working on. It now shows up as a foreign drive.
When I try to "import foreign disk" it tells me it can't find any valid
configuration data for the set and fails. Is there any hope to recover
this set? The drives did not fail, the data is all still there. It
just seems to have lost/corrupted the descriptors for the striped set.
I've been googling around, but still haven't found a solution. Seems
like it should be possible to rescan the drives and re-create the set.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanx,
uray

To answer my own question, I discovered a program called "File
Scavenger". After trying the demo it seemed like it would enable me to
recover the data. It's going to have to copy the files to another
location, but that's OK as long as it works! I was hoping to repair the
volume directly, but it is probably safer this way. At $39 bucks it
seemed a good deal, so I bought it. It's running now, gonna take a
while. I sure hope it works!
