It was the onboard Silicon Image controller that I used. I setup the JBOD as a quick and dirty (and cheap!) way of getting the 530GB I needed to consolidate all my music and videos into a single "partition". In hindsight, it was perhaps a dumb move, and I should've gone straight to to buying a 500GB hard disk instead.

ss.
GetDataBackNTFS it is then. I use it a lot when I recover data from customers hard disk who "accidentally" erased their files or formatted their drives. I've just never tried it in a scenario such as this before, and was thinking that maybe there are other utilities out there that may also help.
Thanks, SS...
