Help With RAID 5 Failure

sfraser · 2006-11-23

Hi, I have a A8N-SLI Prem MB. I have a 4 SATA Drive RAID 5 Array set up.This RAID volume is NOT my boot drive. I am using the Silicon Images controller for the RAID volume . I am running XP, it looks like I lost power to 2 of 4 RAID drives (faulty ground pin, which is now fixed). My Raid volume is now off line. The Controller bios now "sees" all 4 drives at boot up, but states "no RAID volume available" or something to that effect. The SATARAID utility lists 2 drives as "orphaned". IS there anyway I can fix this? What happens if I delete the orphans? I expect that the data is still there, but the drives are "flagged" Any help would be greatly apreciated! Scott
