Hi Dave,
Prior to all this happening, I had a mirrored system (2 drives). I
upgraded the firmware for the Perc 3 raid card and Dell open manage software
and added 3 more drives and then converted the system to a Raid 5 system. I
have no apparent hardware errors in the event logs, but you might be on to
something. The question is, where do I go from here. Do I pay MS to help
me? Do I try to get Dell to help? I really need to get the Exchange
working. All other programs appear to be working fine. Man this is
frustrating! Thanks for the help
