Hi,
A neighbour gave me his Dell Dimension 9200 to have a look at.
Upon booting up, it detects the 2 320Gb hard drives in RAID 0 as working normally, but after that a message pops up saying "Missing Operating System" and it goes no further.
Not having dealt with a Dimension 9200, I said I could remove the hard drives and back up his data, pictures, docs etc.
And then upon getting the PC home and starting on it, I discovered it had this RAID 0 array in it.
Never dealt with a RAID based PC before, so I'm kinda lost.
As far as the booting up problem goes, any ideas how to fix this "Missing Operating System"?. I've Googled it but there's not much info around relating to RAID systems displaying this message.
And then to Data recovery. I've used a few of my usual apps to attempt to recover the files, however I'm not really sure what drive out of the two I should be attempting to recover from?. So far, Restorer 2000 and Easeus can find the Documents folder with the important images in it and it appears to recover them all fine, but upon trying to open any of the JPEG files, 99% of them say they cannot be opened and are corrupt.
Any help or pointers appreciated.
