Situation is this. A PC with 2 hard disks, in an RAID 0 Array.

The electronics on one of the disks has failed. I can not find the same board for the disk (I've tried this, removed board from the OK disk, and the second, the damaged one, works fine).

I've made an image with "dd" on linux on a new hard drive (same size, not same model) and now I get "Offline member" in the RAID config screen.

Will I succeed to recover the data which is stored on the drives, any help, any experience with this kind of problem.

And surly, I know it was stupid to put the disks in RAID 0 and store data on them :(
