[SOLVED] Recover software raid after windows disk corruption

[lamboption]

Win10 installed on SSD
2 HDD in raid though sadly I forget exactly what
After moving the PC I got a message “can’t boot “ , though I was able to copy most of the SSD before it died fully (just had to skip some bits )
I reinstalled windows on a new SSD , copied what I could of the old SSD to a hard drive (copy , paste) and shortly after the old SSD reported corruption and couldn’t be read
WHAT ID LIKE :
Is to recover the 2 drives raid without losing the data
There are 2 pairs of 4tb drives I can see in disk mngmnt,
1 pair shows 3 partitions on each but neither is assigned a drive letter ,(2gb,2gb,3700gb)
the other pair says “dynamic foreign” with no partitions
Can I rebuild it with the new win install ?
Should I try to rebuild athe original win drive from the copy I made and access the raid that way ?
Thanks

2 pairs of 4tb drives

Is this 4 physical drives?

Please show us a screencap of your Disk Management window.

Knowing what type of RAID array is critical. RAID 1, RAID 0, something else?

(And this event is specifically what backups are for)

Yes , was 2 disks striped I believe. Either 3 and 7 or 4 and 6 .
Thanks ..

Striped, so a RAID 0?

Yes, it looks like 4 & 6 are the failed pair.

Yes Raid 0 . I thought it could be 3 and 7 as they weren’t assigned a drive letter by windows .

Yes Raid 0 . I thought it could be 3 and 7 as they weren’t assigned a drive letter by windows .

For 3 & 7, right click on the partition on the right.
What options does it give you?

Yep.
I was going to suggest that particular thing next for 4 & 6.


Take this as a heads up....the importance of a backup cannot be overstated.

What is your backup situation at home?

What is your backup situation at home? And if you don't do that, why not? Every single day, I read multiple threads here of "How do I get my stuff back?" or "That drive had 5 years of photos of my kids!!" Be it a dead drive, dropped phone, virus, accidental deletion, formatting the wrong...
