Augeas - Technically, I'm not sure what happens when you break a RAID array - either the FAT is disassociated from the files or not - files are either formatted or deleted.
In any case - as I noted, I see my 126,073 files with Recuva.... But the key question remains: will restoring my files with Recuva cause .exe and other executable files to launch? And, can I pre-scan the files for viruses inside of Recuva before recovery? And, thank you - of course, I am going to do all the security basics once the files are readable and writable. Thanx!

I restored my computer and in the process broke-up the RAID 1 array when I got malware attacked. Now, I intend to recover one of the drives that use to be part of the array; recuva says 126,073 files exist on the volume I picked as it was never written to (the other array drive has been written to). That is a bit high but the virus probably replicated itself many times.
So, here is the key question: If Recuva recovers the files, will the virus execute itself in the process? I have Norton Security Suite and Malwarebytes – both fully updated; accordingly, can I run them, before the recovery, inside the 126,073 files Recuva found - and if so how? Thank you!

Thanx! I assume, since you didn’t speak about it, that I cannot somehow run Norton Anti-Virus or Malwarebytes scans inside the files Recuva found, and that Piriform does not have an anti-virus product that works hand-in-hand with Recuva. That is too bad.
Thanx everyone for the help – we can close this thread.
