Anything is possible, but it looks like a blown RAID 5 arrary to me. Two drives failed in a RAID 5 means a dead array.

Nope, the software warranty is very limited. You will have to buy one of their service contracts at $600 and up for an OS upgrade. Either that or find a kind soul who already has it, but then you are talking copyright violations which we don't do here on the forum.

Dude, it's not going to help. Face it, the RAID 5 arrary is blown. Without a recovery service, that data is in bit heaven. Sorry to be so blunt, but facts is facts.

David? Do you agree?
