X-Raid Recovery using PC(Windows/Linux)

Windows recovery=FAIL!!
The though part is that is "works" but every file inside a specific extension folder. Lets say for example I got "blah.zip". That file will be shown as "00000000001.zip" inside the folder "Compressed files (zip)".... And as you guessed right, what happens when you got 1000 zip? Completely random named between 000000000001-000000000001000.zip. So good luck find and renaming all the files.

Ubuntu recovery=WIN!!
The savior in all this was Ubuntu witch I ran from a boot'able USB stick.
Using the program "R-Studio for Linux" I got back the folder structure and was able to recover ALL files after scanning the drive with this program.


IF you can find R-Studio for windows and make it to work, please let me know!

  • Windows will not read Linux formatted drives natively there are applications mentioned in other threads to do this. But you have a solution since you have Linux and an application to read the drive.
