Files will not open

[Guest]

A HD on a RAID Array went down. When Win 2000 Server
rebooted it went thru a process that put a folder named
found.ooo on the RAID HD. It has DIR****.chk folders with
file names in it and FILE****.chk files. None of the
files on that drive will open. It shows all the files and
their size, but they will not open. It is like the road
map to all the file pieces are missing. On the jpg files
it will show the preview, but only part of the picture
will be shown or just be black or have stripes in it. It
will not open completely though. Is their any software
that can put the pices of the files back together? Any
help would be appreciated.

Thanks, Steve

I was a mirrored RAID array.

I'm assuming this is the hd that went down, that being the case isnt the
other hd intact?
Or are you saying it rebooted ran chkdsk and rebuilt to a corrupt array? -
which it should'nt have been able to do. Software raid?
I dont understand how with a mirror raid, in which one hd went down the
other disk structure/files are not intact, after all this is the main
purpose of mirror raid.
The only time I have experienced a problem such as this I used a disk
editing (at the structure level)software to recover the files. And this was
only a single large Doc file It was a long and tedious manual process.
If the data is critical you might be better advised to give the hd to a data
recovery specialist
