Recovering data from a spanned volume

[thesmackdown]

Help!

I had three 2TB drive spanned together into a single volume for all my media files. I had the hose on my liquid cooler break and dump all the coolant on one of the drives. It, obviously, is toast.

Now, I would like to get the data of the remaining two.

I have run two different recovery software suites (Easeus and File Scavenger) on them and only find about 1TB of data.

Is there any other way or did I really lose 4 TB of data?

Thanks!

Evan

Wow, This was posted a long time ago. I think you may have already solved your problem, but Spanned volumes take the first disk, fill it and moves on to the next disk. For example:
If the 2TB drive that got trashed was the first, well you're ****ed.
If it was second, and no more than the drives capacity was full, you're ok.
If it was 3rd and untouched, you are good to go.
Word of advice: DO NOT FORMAT

I friend!
In my case, I have an spanned volume with 5 physical disk, and the last 5th disk died.
This last disk was added in the system a month ago. And I dont put too much files in this time.
I'm not worried about the files that can be in this last disk. I'm worried about the other disks.
What would you recommend me?

What happened to making highly compressed full (or folder and file) images of data onto external media? ...to avoid un-recoverable data loss...
