I have a system on an Abit motherboard with the Nvidia GeForce 4 chipset. |
| 2 |
There are two SATA disks in a hardward stripe configuration using the |
| 3 |
controller built in to the motherboard. The machine and disks were used as a |
| 4 |
Windows XP workstation. Now that Windows installation is hosed up and I'm |
| 5 |
using the opportunity to covert this machine to a Gentoo desktop. |

However there is some data on the drive that I'd like to recover before |
| 8 |
blowing the disk away. I booted the latest Knoppix dated 9/23/05 and see two |
| 9 |
icons on the desktop for my drives. One for sda the other for sdb. I can |
| 10 |
not mount either. I assume this is because Knoppix is seeing each drive |
| 11 |
individually instead of the one logical striped drive it is. |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
Is there some magic I can perform at the boot prompt to get Knoppix to see the |
| 14 |
two individual drives as one logical striped drive? I can't recover the data |
| 15 |
from booting Windows because it's all screwed up and reboots itself shortly |
| 16 |
after logon. |
