| Hello,
| I built a new computer a three weeks ago. The motherboard supports
| hardware raid with the silicon image chips and driver. I set up two
| drives in a RAID 1 configuration. I have the raid set partitioned as C:
| and D:.
| Everything has run smooth, fast and very quite. I could never hear
| the drives until last night.
| Then I could hear a drive or drives rumbling, the boot time was
| longer and applications were jerky.
| I am guessing that one of the drives is failing. My question is
| how do I determine which drive?
| Should I break the mirror and look at each drive separately?
| What will XP see when I break the mirror. Will it see drive C:, D:, E:
| and F:?
| Can I use some sort of disk performance utility to tell me which
| drive is failing.
| If I can replace the failing drive. I can use the good drive
| for the 'source' to build a new mirror,... I think
| Any ideas? I'm I barking up the right tree?
| Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
After I read this thread I would like to add that no MSDOS or PCDOS
utility will read a RAID setup, Yet....If the RAID is broken it should
show
up on the boot screen. Also I have never seen it useful to Partition a
RAID
array, especially a RAID 1.
good luck
