Extremely Urgent: Data recovery from failed Dynamic Disk

Bagheera

Senior member
Hi everyone. I am running three hard drives on my system, a new Maxtor 200GB for C:, and a 20GB Maxtor + 40GB IBM spanned into a 60GB Dynamic Volume for D:. I believe the IBM 40GB just died on me, while the Maxtor 20GB is still working. But regardless, the death of the IBM 40GB renders the entire spanned volume unreadable.

The good news, I hope, is that the Maxtor 20GB was used as D: before I added the 40GB IBM as a span (the IBM 40GB was the original C:, which the Maxtor 200GB replaced). This means that most of the data I had in D: should still be located on the Maxtor 20GB. I am hoping there is a way to recover the data that are still on the Maxtor 20GB. Is there? If anyone know any possible way of recovering the data from one of the disks in a multi-disk Dynamic Volume, please let me know! I have 3GB of artwork collections, many MP3s and movie files at stake here (luckily I backed up the programs and settings but... it's the artworks, which took forever to collect, that worries me)

Please help!!!
