Primary RAID Container Offline
Rebuilding a failed primary RAID container that's offline or when multiple drives fail, requires specialized equipment. You must have a thorough knowledge of hex, drive structures, MFT mount points and offsets to avoid destroying data while attempting recovery!
If you have already tried to rebuild the array but still can't access your data, please stop. DO NOT attempt a forced rebuild. Doing so will wipe out your company's data!
Using RAID utilities and software are not designed to restore data or rebuild RAID arrays that are damaged or fix failing hard drives. This requires specialized equipment and professional training.
Swapping hard drives or re-ordering drives in a failed or offline RAID array runs the risk of overwriting the striping and parity, making it nearly impossible to rebuild your array and recover your company's vital data.
To increase the odds of recovering all of your data, turn your server off now. You should not put your critical business data at further risk by experimenting with RAID recovery utilities or software.
