We think the drives are good. We want to mount the four drives to extract the data (it was RAID 5). We only have 1 SATA2USB adapter. If I am able to read the whole paritition (using dd), how can I mount 4 iso&#39;s using RAID to get the data?<br>

some light googling revealed buffalo as a UFS partition over four drives. Has anyone recovered a software RAID 5 configuration? Can I dd to an iso, mount the iso&#39;s, mount the raid, extract the data, and move forward?</blockquote>
