Hi,
I have an external 4 TB (Lacie 4Big), running in Raid 0 and now one if the drives is appearantly corrupted.
I cannot mount the Raid anymore, and as a result have no access to any data on either of the 4 drives.
I Tried several Data-Restoral apps but to no avail, since the drive does not even show up.
When starting, all drives initialize except for one, which makes some clicking sounds before failing, then the status indicator turns to red, showing that the raid did not properly initialize.
I´m not very tech savy, and would like to ask for assistance to obtain as much of the remaining data as possible. As far as i understand, once I replace the broken drive, all drives need to be reformatted?
I did make an image of the corrupted drive (by connecting it by a usb HD reader), it could not be read (=Mounted) but I was able to create a copy of the image using Harddrive-Utility.
Would copying this image to a new drive solve the problem?
Please help..
thanks
