I am in serious trouble and at your guys mercy. I have a oc system and I turned my fans down too low for too long and over heated my system. everything still works but my hard drives. I lost the partitions.

I have 2 serial hd's in stripe 0. 1 raptor with os. 1 250 IDE hd with serial converter on it.

when I hook up a normal ide hd and go into partition magic or windows disk management it says that the drives are there, but unallocated. I took the serial converter off the 250gb and hooked in into the ide channel and it worked fine. but I'm still missing my raid and raptor.

Please help. I will list below things I've tried. Thanks!

I've tried replacing the highpoint rocket 1640 raid controller. I've tried installing the raid controller and hds into another system. I've tried using PC Inspector File Recovery, but I get an error at the end of the scan that crashes the program. I've tried ontracks easy recovery, but the raid controller crashes the program. I've contacted ontrack and they said they could do a remote recovery for $1300-$1800. I want my data bad, but not that bad.
