Let me expand by saying. 1 make sure the partition table is restored to it's exact prior setup. 2 verify the md raid metadata at the end of the raid partition is ok. Need to research that one. 3 reassemble the raid0 4 make a copy of the raid device 5 use recovery tools on the copy to retrieve as much data as you can -Ross
