I have never seen anything like it. Both RAID drives and the Adaptec RAID card seem to be fine, and then present a Please select boot device or reboot error message.
Array says OPTIMAL, it boots BIOS and RAID card and finds the Array as a single drive, as it should because it is RAID 1, and then throws the error.
I have tried to Ghost the drive, done data recovery and it finds some data, even the boot files, but looks like I will have to rebuild the server. This is, of course, a very important computer for a business client.
I was working OK when I got there, I used Malwarebytes to remove 4 trojans, and when it came time to reboot, BAM, nothing. It is really the oddest thing. Then I read about this:

Just like it says, if you REBOOT, you are in some serious trouble. I was going to backup the drive 3 different ways after this reboot. Talk about a hair too late
Client has some backups, and we have some scrambled data from the original drives so hopefully we can rebuild.
Right now as a desperate attempt, we are cloning a drive using TerraByte Unlimited, which seems to be actually doing it, when many other similar software cannot even see a drive.
I just thought I would throw this out to get some feedback and possibly warn others, Thanks, Dave
