RAID Reconstructor
Recover Data from a broken RAID Level 5 or 0 Array
Runtime's RAID Reconstructor will help you recover data from broken
* RAID Level 5 Array consisting of 3 to 14 drives
* RAID Level 0 Array (Striping) consisting of 2 drives
Even if you do not know the RAID parameters, such as drive order, block size and direction of rotation, RAID Reconstructor will analyze your drives and determine the correct values. You will then be able to create a copy of the reconstructed RAID in an image file or on a physical drive.
Once you created an image you can use it for further data recovery processing with Runtime's GetDataBack. If you create the image on another physical drive, you can process it with GetDataBack too or you might even be able to directly boot from it.
RAID Reconstructor is read-only
It will not try to "fix" your RAID. It will merely create a copy of your RAID at another location. It will collect sector by sector from each single drive involved and write these sectors in the correct order to the designated destination. This process is also called "de-striping".
Because one drive is redundant in RAID 5, it is sufficient to have one less than the original number of drives (N) in the array. RAID Reconstructor can recalculate the original data from the N-1 drives. For a RAID-0 (striped) array you will need both drives.
The RAID Reconstructor will recover both, hardware and software RAIDs. It will recover from broken Windows Dynamic Disk sets.

Let us find the correct RAID parameters for you!
A RAID Probe can be taken if you do not find your RAID's correct parameters.
Here is how it works: RAID Reconstructor will create a probe of your RAID drives which you would send to us by email or FTP. We will analyze this probe and attempt to find the parameters for you. You would then enter these parameters into RAID Reconstructor and continue your recovery. Please contact us at
[email protected] for further instructions. This is a manual service which we charge $299 for. One license of RAID Reconstructor is included in this price. You will only be charged if we find the parameters. Note: RAID Probe is currently only available for NTFS formatted system.

You can run RAID Reconstructor from a WinPE boot CD-ROM.

Take advantage of the scripting feature in RAID Reconstructor.
Based on the PASCAL programming language, scripts allow you to access your drives and process them with all the elements available in a higher programming language. For more information please refer to the build-in help file in the software.
