RAID Reconstructor v3.03-YAG
We all know how how painful is recovering data from broken drives or corrupted sectors. The majority of people usually realize that in the moment when it happens and that’s usually too late, because you end up with no backups or restoration images. Anyway, although you usually don’t have a chance to recover all lost data, there’s still a big possibility to save at least some files - and RAID Reconstructor can help you a lot. As the title says, this application will help you to recover data from RAID O or RAID 5 drives. Included crack will save you $99 you would have to pay for this tiny tool.
Even if you do not know the RAID parameters, such as drive order, block size and direction of rotation, RAID Reconstructor will analyze your drives and determine the correct values. You will then be able to create a copy of the reconstructed RAID in an image file or on a physical drive. Once you created an image you can use it for further data recovery processing with Runtime’s GetDataBack. If you create the image on another physical drive, you can process it with GetDataBack too or you might even be able to directly boot from it.
It will not try to “fix” your RAID. It will merely create a copy of your RAID at another location. It will collect sector by sector from each single drive involved and write these sectors in the correct order to the designated destination. This process is also called “de-striping”. Because one drive is redundant in RAID 5, it is sufficient to have one less than the original number of drives (N) in the array. RAID Reconstructor can recalculate the original data from the N-1 drives. For a RAID-0 (striped) array you will need both drives. The RAID Reconstructor will recover both, hardware and software RAIDs. It will recover from broken Windows Dynamic Disk sets.

Looks like a useful tool. ^_^ Assuming it supports more than just NTFS.
I learned the painful experience of a failed raid array a long time ago. Now I just go the safe route of buying larger drives and sym-linking userspace when needed.
i had the same experience with a failed raid 0.. now i run raid 5
Aww you got my hopes up I thought this was going to help me organize my World of Warcraft 25 man raid.
Ive read lots of stories where people delete files in ext3 fs and can’t get them back, and sort of raid failures as well.
@ nick
i thought the same dude
lol @ Nick, same here!
Mr. X: You can recover data from ext2/3 partitions quite easily these days, assuming the data in question hasn’t been overwritten already. The difference between the way data is “deleted” on ntfs vs. ext2/3 file systems is like night and day, and I won’t go into specifics, but due to the nature of the “easy to undelete” ntfs filesystem disk fragmentation is a nightmare. On my 320gb media server (ext2 filesystem) which has been running torrents constantly for over 6 months, I have about 0.2% fragmentation. I consider this a fair trade off for the ability to recover my files. I just take more care to pay attention to my surrounding and my data.
yeah but there is this thing called i-nodes, and, andreas dilger made it a special way:
“In order to ensure that ext3 can safely resume an unlink after a crash, it actually zeros out the block pointers in the inode, whereas
ext2 just marks these blocks as unused in the block bitmaps and marks the inode as “deleted” and leaves the block pointers alone. ”
there are a few ways to recover your ext3/2 FS - findsuper tool from e2fsprogs and gpart, and a modified version of debugfs, but what happens if you hose your root inode, you lose directory information and things become difficult to recover from.
But to be honest the same thing can happen to the NTFS MFT, but it’s just as rare.
In most cases you have to physically and forcibly remove the root i-node for what you mentioned to happen, and in that case inbreeding is usually to blame on one level or another.

I love how we just turn this into a file system showdown. Should we discuss the finer points of ReiserFS or ZFS next? rofl
Here’s yet another “torrent soon”??? RS Mirror (This is ver 3.03, unlike other rapidshare link)

Hi,
.rar pass is shown in comment (for ReleaseLog RS link)
something like that “www.somesite.url” (without quotes)
I don’t remember what, sorry. ^^
Bye.
i had a problem with my raid 0 array before and i was able to recover every file with this tool.
Very usefull
AWWWW c’mon PLEASE…what is the password?
Still need password please.
