I've had 4 40gb Maxtor Diamond 8 disks running in Raid 1 on a Promise Fasttrak TX4 card. (Windows 2000 Server, Abit IS7, 2 GB ram.)
About a year ago, a drive failed so I replaced it with , rebuilt the array and had no problems.
Yesterday, another drive failed. So I replaced that one with another Maxtor 40gb drive.
I thought I could just rebuld the array, like last time and I'd be in good shape. However, the Fasttrak bios shows the other 3 drives as being OFFLINE and the new one as FREE. It won't let me rebuild the array. I get the error message "Recovery is not applicable".
Besides the obvious question on what to do next
, how can I retrieve the info on the OFFLINE drives?
Thanks in advance...
