I installed IDE RAID adapter (PCI) and connected 2 HDs (different size, with datas in them) on it without any RAIDs set up. It worked just fine. Then, I tried to play around with the RAID configuration without knowing how the thing actually works. It resulted my HDs were not detected by Windows XP (altough they were detected on BIOS).
I made an empty partition on one of them just to make it appear on Windows. That way, I think it is easier to recover the data from Windows.

The question, do you know any good data recovery softwares that suit this kind of problem? I've seen a lot of them, but I'm not sure which one is good. Or maybe even better if someone willing to guide me through the process of recovering my (important) data. Any helps will be appreciated.
