I'm trying to help a friend of mine out. His desktop seems to be on the fritz, and I'm guessing it's a hard drive failure. He really needs to get some data off the drives for a pending court case. Naturally the data wasn't backed up His two disks are in a RAID 0 configuration. More specifically, he has two 250 GB physical drives that made up a 500 GB logical drive. So my questions are as follows:
-What options does he have for recovering his data?
-Is there anything I can try to recover the data?
-Would a professional service be able to help? If so, is there a national chain that you would recommend?
I've tried starting the machine in safe mode with no luck. FWIW, the blue screen error message it gives is "A problem has been detected and windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer". The error code is 0x0000007E (0xC0000005, 0x8050D532, 0xF79383B8, 0xF79380B4).
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.
