RAID0 array borked?

This morning I woke up after my automatic defrag, and my RAID0 array seemed to have died.. I rebooted and the RAID controller on my Chaintech VNF-350 (or 250? I forget..) says the array is healthy and can see both drives with no problems. However when I try to let it boot into Windows, it just hangs after post... not even a Windows startup screen.

Question is, is there any way to recover the data off the array, since it's still healthy? I am not sure what just happened but I'd like to know, and if possible recover my data. If it's not possible to recover it that's okay... It's not a lot of stuff and most stuff is on my server but I would prefer if I could find a way to get the stuff I need back.

Thanks for ANY help in the matter -- I would really like to save some of my emails and then move them over to my Gmail account so they are backed up

Thanks again!
 
I have a copy of Norton Ghost for this exact reason. It lets me recover my data off a machine where Windows is borked. You've also discovered the reason (along with no real performance increase) why most of us who used to run RAID0, have stopped using it.
 
The only ways I can think of that may work would be to either.....
Install Windozes onto a third hard drive and hope it will see the array.
Or......
Try a repair install over the top of the copy that wont work.

Luck....... :D

I found a few utilities that might help me out in this regard... I'm going to give them a shot and see what comes of it. If nothing else, then I will just format and install from scratch -- without the RAID array.
