Received a pair of disks recently that were unreadable with with the original HP Media vault. The disks were 300GB and 750GB giving a capacity of just over 1TB. The first disk started with the string "Broadcom NAS Version 1.1 MBR Tag" and did not have a standard boot sector. The second disk had a standard boot sector, but a header suggesting a FAT32 disk.
Both disks actually had Reiser FS as their data structure. After investigation, it was determined that the data was in three stripes, and the locations are stored in sector 1 (ie second on the disk) of each disk. A few enhancements to the CnW Recovery software (http://www.cnwrecovery.com/) and all the data was read and recovered. It was read using the JBOD feature in the RAID option
