If my memory serves my right, you need to use the three NT set-up disks,
with an ERD (emergency repair disk) that was created before you re-installed
NT i.e. when everything was working properly. You just have to use the
repair option when NT set-up prompts you for the type of installation, and
then follow the prompts for using the ERD. Generally it is recommended to
update the ERD after any kind of changes, new set-up, or software
installation. If you do not have an appropriate ERD, I do not know if you
can recover your data. Try doing a search for stripe sets at:
