Lost drive image files on a "raw" drive
I was attempting to install WindowsXP a reformatted RAID in my computer. I had an image saved to my external drive. I'm not sure how or why it started, but Windows started to install on my external drive. I freaked out and shut it off. Windows now recognizes the exteranal as RAW. And since I already split a RAID on the internal drives, that data is no good.
The only data on the external was the drive image (no OS, no other files) with extensions of .000 .001...etc. There should be about 18 files total on the drive and most of them should be 1.95GB in size. I've tried following the directions in the sticky post, but that doesn't have seemed to helped. It found one file that was a 341K jpeg file, and it says that it is a corrupt file. Is there anything else I can do or try???!?
The only other thing I can think to try is to quick format the drive competely (since I shut it off last time) and try searching again after that.
Please help!!!
