This is the situation, I have 2 ibm 60GB harddrives settup as raid 0 on an msi mb with raid on board. So my computer shows a 120 GB drive now. Okay this drive is my heart and soul for all the anime and movies I dld. And me and my girl got in a fight and she flipped the circuit breaker in my house while my computer was on and dlding as usual, So when i turned the machine back on all it showed was a single drive that needed formatting with a size of 30GB.

So my ? is why is it showing only 30 gigs of a 120GB stripe, and how do i recover the raid 0 or at least recover some of the data to be able to rebuild the raid without crying to much

thanks for your help in advance

and to all the guys who have girls dont let them know how much you love your computer. ;)

DAMN my solution get a new girlfriend....just kidding.
since raid 0 stripes data blocks over 2 or more disks half of your anime might be on one disk and half on the failed disk the fact that it sees only 30 gigs on one disk is kinda scary RAID Level 0 is not redundant, hence does not truly fit the "RAID" acronym. In Level 0, data is split across drives, resulting in higher data throughput. Since no redundant information is stored, performance is very good, but the failure of any disk in the array results in all data loss. If the data is really that important you can pay to get it back here are some companys.

If you don't want to pay to get your data back then to me it sounds like your up raid creek without a backup..
Sorry for the bad news....
