Question : Problem: Promise 376 raid controller had to delete and rebuild array, data recovery

I have a Asus k8v motherboard and 2 maxtor sata 160GB drives.  For some reason the raid crashed, I went into the promise bios and had to delete the array and rebuild.  The data is there and waiting to be retrieved.  I just dont know how to get windows to recognize it.  Any help would be appreciated.  Virtual Lab looks like it can do it, I just dont want to pay for it and am wondering if there is another way

Answer : Problem: Promise 376 raid controller had to delete and rebuild array, data recovery

not entirely sure if that software would recover it as it was on a raid array and not on just a single hard drive.
another link for someone else who appeared to have the same problem

not that that is out the way a couple things you can try are these boot cds.

I do not remember the exact software for file recovery as I only used it before to do a virus scan on a system that I had to work on.

I do know the first one does have one file recovery however I did not have the chance to try it out
the second has two programs (from what I saw) that you can get just them at the following:

hope you can recover the data.
