Help RAID-0 Crashed??

[blakehew]

Did my Raid-0 die? I am using the ABit KT7A-Raid MB with the Highpoint Raid controller. When I use a boot disk to boot up I can access my raid drive and see all the names of the files, but when I try to access any of the files (move or copy them) the system crashes. In windows I simply get a BSOD every time I try to access the drive.
Is my drive Hosed? Is there any way to recover? PLEASE HELP ME!

My Raid-0 Drive is my secondary drive and is made up of two WD 13GB 7200RPM Drives.

What OS are you using and when you say you try to access them in dos does it lock up or reboot? Also did one of the drives have problems?

I have used both winME and Win2K. At this point I had to disable the Raid controler in the device manager to even get the system to boot into windows. I dont think one of the drives is bad, It was working just a week ago.
How does raid-0 work. are all the fat tables on a single drive. Im wondering if maybe the drive without the fat tables died and thats why I can look at all the file names and directories, but when I try to access any files the system frezes, it doesnt restart, it just stops responding. (this is in DOS booting from a boot disk I cant do anything with it in windows anymore)!

Have you tried using Norton Ghost to copy the entire array to another drive?

PS - If it's the drives, next time dont use WD
