raid 0 problems

[Nathan England]

The problem with raid 0, while giving expanded filesystems over many disks is 
there is no fault tolerance, so it is possible that when one of those drives 
took a dump, you lost ALL of that data. I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure 
that is how it works.
Does the drive power up at all? Or is it completely dead?
What is the file system on it? Can you boot with a knoppix disc and try to let 
it e2fsck or reiserfsck that filesystem and see if it fixes it?
