Solve : RAID 0 failure?

1.	Solve : RAID 0 failure?
Answer» one drive of a two drive RAID 0 appears to not be READABLE. Windows XP Pro. System boots up all the way to desktop but hangs shortly thereafter. The system has been backed up recently with Windows Home Server. How do I get this thing running again?If you get all the way to the desktop, it maynot a bad RAID 0 drive. Is RAID giving you any errors? However, TEST the drives independently with the drive manufacturer's software. You may have to disable RAID to perform this. Why WOULD you have RAID 0 (striped) on a server? RAID 1 (mirrored) would be a better choice.It could be that the array is on the fritz and close to completely failing. I've had that happen before and I added another drive and converted it to raid 5. If your hardware supports LIVE conversion, give that a try. It might work. What KIND of backup do you have?
