Absolutely gutted that it ' s free DLC rather than a patch . Means I ' ll be locked out which is a bummer <| sep |> yea , I stay away from shala when I have contagious thing . just this time I check my blood work and it wasn ' t any virus infection . so I felt my self not going to studio is kind of excuse . <| sep |> Thanks for the replies everyone except for the removal one obv . Yes ! dd and emulate a software raid is a great suggestion will definitely do that . This solves my how to proceed problem perfectly . For information sake it was a hardware raid configuration from some ancient 2003 ? motherboard though without knowing the chipset will have to just try some standard sizes for the blocks I guess until the copies produce contiguous data .
