At the conclusion of a many-weeks long biblical/Gandalf-Balrog-esque battle with the tdss rootkit and its many obfuscated downloaders and their zombie-like lifecycles, a vital piece of my boot sector went missing and LOL KUMPYOOTR NO WERKY

WTF Indeed

Is this some kind of RAID arrangement? (RAID 0 with two disks, maybe.)

You should definitely find an expert, preferably in person. If it is RAID, both disks need to be connected and configured with the correct RAID parameters so that sense can be made of the filesystem, which I suspect is also randomly divided across to two physical discs. Hopefully, if it is RAID, you can attach both disks to a computer running an OS that can do RAID in software with two USB-connected disks.

hp sometimes uses a adapter board that is similar. it should come off once, but you will have to take the drive out of the carrier first -- four screws on each long side.
