Greetings,

I have a Sony VGC-RA842G with 945P chipset (82801 GR SATA RAID controller) and 4 x 250GB HDs. Windows BSODed and I need to recover the files off the drive. When I boot under Knoppix 4.0.2 /etc/fstab lists the 4 drives as '/dev/sd[abcd] auto noauto, users, exec 0 0'. It also mounts them on the desktop as 4 separate drives 'Hard Disk [sda/b/c/d]'. mdadm -E /dev/sda gives the error 'No super block found on /dev/sda (Expected magic blah blah blah)'.

I'm a relative newbie to Knoppix so I'm guessing from what I observe the controller and/or drives are recognizable by Knoppix; however, shouldn't Knoppix have assembled the raid and mounted it automatically or do I need to do it manually? The drives were configured for RAID5 and had 3 partitions.

Thanks in advance for any help.
