raid 0 error barracuda 7200.11

[oluas]

Hi! , first of all I would like to please you all who help everybody to fix their problems, I succeed repairing one faulty sd15 barracuda 7200.11 and after that , I found another problem, I have looked in other forums and googled it but I’m totally lost.

I had a RAID 0 (stripe) mode with 2 - ST3500320AS SD15 of 500GB (now upgraded both to sd1a), one is healthy, but the other after reviving it form the helly hag sd15 doing the hardware method ( BSY and 0 GB) I found that the unit is Empty, with no partitions at all. I know the information is there because i used some recovery programs and I can see some info but have no clue how to recover properly, because I think I have only one turn to do it, if I fail I will lose all my info...

As I have the drives in raid 0 I should see 1 unit of 1000gb , partition magic in the healthy drive find me a 1 gb unrecognized partition (which is correct because it should be paired with the other drive to join it and have the correct read). But as the other drive has no partition table I can’ do that…

The question is: how can I fix the partition table of the erased revived drive?

Do you think is a good idea to backup the partition table of the healthy driver and restore it to the erased one? (no idea what program to use...)

Any help is much appreciated. Thanks in advance !

PD.-I noticed that the geometry of the drives are different, i think i should have to change the faulty one to equal the healthy, this are the values:

Healthy drive: cilinders 64602, heads 240, sectors 63 , sector size 512

Exfaulty drive: cilinders 60802, heads 255, sectors 63 , sector size 512

hopefully i solved the problem myself , i was mistaken, in raid0 you only have partition table at the first drive, the second drive should appear as blank, so i just needed to mount the drive and go ! i did it and all my data i safe

A lot of special thanks to pichi, valenciano,& Gradius2 the king !

Yehaaa ! i have my dataa :D
