I have built a RAID 5 with 6 disks and found that this was over a TB of data and I cannot initalize the GPT tables. I belive that the stripe is constructed correctly because I am seeing contiguous data structures that are larger than the largest possible stripe size. I was also able to validate the stipe through the original controller (the controller is questionable but it is matching what I am seeing.) I am wondering if there is a trick with 13.5 Specialist in order to get the GPT table to come ready or where should I go from here.

If the GPT data is intact, WinHex with a specialist license and X-Ways Forensics detect it automatically.

Alternatively, you could have it search for "lost" partitions (Tools | Disk Tools).

Thank you, That did help the main filesystem is showing 128MB (Microsoft Reserved) and .9TB (?) both of them are reporting GUID File System in the top bar. However I am unable to traverse the filesystem. I have asked it to "Analyize Disk" hopeing that it will rebuild file structures.

WinHex would never report a "GUID File System" (there is no such thing). Sorry, the Analyze Disk command has nothing to do with rebuilding file structures or even file system structures.
