What does this mean and is there a way to fix it with my Raid 0 setup?

Also I did a complete tape backup yesterday so I "Think" I am safe
Can I just reload Win2k and then restore and be back like I was or do I have to reinstall all

Sounds like you'll have to reformat. One of your drives may have a physical problem though, I recommend running whatever diagnostic software the manufacturer has on each drive before restoring your backup. If you have a full backup (registry and everything), you should be able to just restore it without having to reinstall software. That's assuming your backup software can run without the OS installed.

I would suppose since it's not a RAID with parity that you could reformat and reinstall from the backup.

Yep all data is gone that was on the drives :(
But my backup requires Windows to install. Can I just restore over a installed Win2k? I know it probably won't replace files in use but most should be current and if I just update the SP's one should be ok or will it all be trashed and I will have to just start over and be glad I have the Backup for the data?
