Let me start off by saying that I have an Epox 8k7a+ and 2 60gxp IBM drives. I have Windows 2000 with sp2 installed.
Yesterday, I was trying to fix a friend's hard drive. I connected his hard drive to one of the raid ide ports then started the computer. When I got into Windows 2k, everything was real slow, but I didn't take notice because it happened before when I hooked up his hard drive to my pc 2 weeks ago. When I was trying to access Windows Explorer and My Computer, the program would freeze up. My whole computer was slowing down and slowly freezing. So I restarted the computer. I did alt-control-delete then hit the shut down button. I told it to reset, but the computer hung so I had to do a hard reset. When I booted up again, it said that one of the RAID 0 stripe array drives was missing..... From what I remember, I think it said that. It asked me if I wanted to: esc, exclude (I think, I did this very late last night), and something else. I hit escape or exclude, I can't remember. I took out his hard drive and now my computer won't boot. I went into the RAID setup (control H), and made one of the drives bootable and the other drive hdd-1. But anything I do doesn't help.
Please help me if you have any info on this problem or if you know of any software that I can use in DOS so that I can resynchronize these two drives. None of the data has been destroyed on either drive. I haven't tried to create a new RAID array because the manual says that it would destroy the data.
