Help! While running SANDRA my RAID 0 failed?

[FoeHammer]

Okay so I was doing the file benchmark system on sandra RIGHT after I unchecked file indexing on my RAID 0 drive, it rebooted went through the BIOS, then when trying to boot from OS it comes up with an error about selecting a correct boot device, Then I went to the fastbuild utility that display the raid array and it shows drive 1 as 'failed or disconnected' and the array was 'off line' drive 2 is still working but that not much help since it was 2 raptors set to raid 0 (64k)? what the hell? How did sandra mess my array up? Or did it somehow burn the drive out? How can I test the drive if its functional or defective? I've only had them for like 3 weeks, and the temps were fine b4 the failure? I already tried a different power supply rail so its not the power or loose connections. Is there any way to recover my data? Please HElp....

I ran the WD boot diagnostics disk when I ran the Diagnostics program heres what it displayed:

NO DRIVE FOUND

ERROR/STATUS CODE 0120

(whatever that means)

Hmm what to do next? try attaching it to a different serial ata port?


--------------------------
ASUS P4C800D
WinXP PRo (no sp1)
Bios is 1004
Corsair XMS 2 gigs
2 WD RAPTORS (Raid 0, 64k)

Make sure the cables didn't come lose either at the board end or drive end? I seriously doubt that a piece of software made your drives disappear. I can see how software might screw up what's on the drives, but if the WD Diagnostics is reporting no drive at all, I'd say there is more likely a hardware problem somewhere.
