Rescue Data from Single Disk Raid

“Hi, I was using my PC as usual, but suddenly some problem occurred and the system rebooted two to three times. I removed all the connections from the plug points to the PC. Then after sometime when I tried turning on my PC, it is not getting ON. I have only one disk and not partitioned it. I don’t know how can I recover data from RAID array of computer hard drive. Can you please suggest a way for restoring data from single disk RAID array? Thanks in advance...”

RAID is a technology which binds all hard drives as one logical drive. In the above case, you have only one hard drive and data of even single hard disk without partition will be stored using RAID technology. When data from drive of your computer is deleted or lost, the RAID array can be read by suitable data recovery software. Hence there is no need to lose hope when data is lost from your computer from single RAID disk in the scenarios as listed below:

• Raid Array Re-Initialization: When RAID array gets re-initialized, all data on the drive of your computer will be lost. The RAID may re-initialize due to firmware up-gradation failure or by human errors
• File System Corruption: File system of your single hard disk without partition may get corrupt for several reasons like virus attack or logical faults, etc.
• RAID Controller Failure: RAID controller is the hardware which controls RAID array functionality. The controller may fail for various reasons making your data on your single drive inaccessible

Whatever may be the reason for loss of data on your single RAID disk; you can scan and perform RAID data recovery easily using Yodot Hard Drive Recovery software.
