Those two hard drives must have been liberals.

at least the drives weren't "too big to fail," AMIRITE?

but seriously, is there any way to restore the RAID to normal status? the system is still sort of functioning...

that doesn't really make sense - if both drives in a RAID-1 set are missing/failed, then the array can't exist. maybe your tool is just saying the whole array is degraded because one disk failed?

actually, it's even weirder than I expected. The guy who set it up set up TWO RAID-1 arrays... WITH ONE DISK IN EACH. idiot. He did it on a couple of other machines, too. I only figured it out when I cleared the array(s) and built a new one and only one item showed up in the list. I think he mirrored the arrays from within Windows, but I have no way to prove it at this point, as I've wiped the drives now.

The odd thing is that the data was actually on both drives. I have no idea how he accomplished this with me still being able to read the files via Acronis.

What's the best way to setup a simple 2 drive mirrored RAID on a system with a version of XP that doesn't support Intel RST if I want to keep the data on the current non-RAID C: drive? Just looking to have the 2nd drive / D: drive continuously sync'd with the C: drive. Post-lightning strike mobo replacement blues...

Yeah I know. One of those machines that requires a bunch of old programs that haven't been supported in years though.

Can you install a RAID card?

It's got a built-in RAID controller on the mobo. Hoping to use that but we'll see.
