    i would like to let you know that the problem is solved. I added one more drive on the controler. installed OS and while setup was checking the raid 5 logical drive it repaired also the damage. Windows is now up and running. Thanks tho for the quick response

Restore from backup.

If that's not an option, pack up the drives and ship them to a data recovery shop along with a big fat check.

  • In USD, it'll range anywhere from a few hundred, to tens of thousands, depending on the degree of damage, the type of data, and amount that needs to be recovered.

  • No I cannot - service recommendations are off-topic here. I'm sure a google search will help you locate one in your area.

    @erikA, there isn't anything inherently wrong with raid 5, like every raid level there are tradeoffs.
