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. |
