Raid 5 Problem

by stack.bob1 . Updated 16 years, 6 months ago

Hi – I have a 3 drive Raid 5 Array all Seagate drives (relatively new). The first one is a 1Gb the other two are 750Gb.Been working great for a while. I also have a 750Gb spare (Seagate) in the array set. I noticed last night the drive was rebuilding. Not clear if it had brought in the spare or just rebuilding from the original 3 in the set. I let it go overnight. Today I found a blue screen. I rebooted and the OS wouldn’t load. When I got into Cntr I found the first two drives in the array set “offline” and the 3rd and 4th (must be the spare) both as “Member Disk (0)”. I can’t boot and I’m not sure how to resolve this situation. Can you help please? I really need this data….
