2. Rebuild 2/3 Disk with RAID 5 Configuration
I have Dell Power Edge 1800 Windows 2003 Server, it contain 3 disks, 2/3 of these disks failed during bauckup process, now the server go throgh PERC/CERC Bios configuration utility.

3. Raid Rebuild
I have a client with a 5 year old Dell Power Edge 2600. This server has a Prec 4/Di raid controller with a raid 5. No one has kept this server up to date regarding firmware etc. One of the disks in the raid 5 broken so they shut down the server and replaced the drive. The raid controller never started to rebuild the new drive. I have been in to the menus of the raid controller and it has the option of rebuild or reconstruct the drive. Not sure which of the to use. I don't want to delete the data, but get the raid fault tolerant again.

4. Rebuilding a drive in raid
Hi Guy's, I'm new to this, so I apologise if i'm posting this in the wrong area, my problem is this, i'm running a server, SBS 2003, everything was working fine until one of the drives failed, I'm only using onboard Raid software, I replaced the new drive and it came up with the message that "Port 1 is in rebuilding State" and then a warning: Array(s) in Degraded Mode!!!.

Do you know how long it takes to rebuild the drive (WD Raptor ATA 74gig)? and was there something I needed to do to the drive first.
Any help would be grateful,

5. Rebuild Raid 5 Array on perc 5i card (dell poweredge 840)
Hi, and thanks in advance for your help.

I'm trying to rebuild a 4 disk RAID 5 array on a SATA perc 5i controller. One drive was apparently disconnected from the Raid array and left unconnected for some time. I pulled the drive out and formatted it, then tested it for errors. HDTune tells me the drive has no errors.

I had previously deleted the drive partition and attempted to rebuild the array, however, neither the perc controlled bios nor the dell openmanage software gave me the rebuild option. What am i missing to enable this task? Should the drive be formatted in any specific manner? left unformatted? partitioned? unpartitioned? or am i overlooking something else Right now the raid array shows up in Disk manager as a basic drive. I don't know what this means but the raid array manager doesn't show any backplane, which i noticed some of the perc 5i controllers have when i checked dell support pages.
OS is SBS 2003

6. RAID 5 Rebuild
I have a RAID 5 server with a failed hard disk. I'm not much into these kind of things but at present I have to perform the replacement / rebuild and I'm not so sure how. Can someone tell me the procedure. Can I shut down the server and insert the new disk? Can i just open the web bios and rebuild manually? Any other precautions to be taken? There are no problems with keeping the server offline for some time.

7. Help with RAID drive replacement
The company I work for has a server with a bad hard drive and is running off what appears to have been the backup drive. How do I know if the system was set up for RAID? Also, if it was on RAID, could replacing the bad drive possibly erase the current drive? Hope I worded this right. Thanks in advance for any help.

8. RAID 5 Issue on DELL poweredge 2800
I had a drive fail in my RAID 5 array at work. I replaced the drive with one that was slightly bigger, rebuilt it nd now the other 2 drives are now degraded in the array in the DELL openmanager web interface. What am I doing wrong. I took one of the degraded drives offine and forced a rebuld but to no avail.

9. RAID setup for Dell Poweredge 2800
I tried to initialize my new virtual disk and erased everything from my server, now when I try to reinstall Windows, setup cannot find the hard drive. Any suggestions?

10. Raid Configuration
I am in the process of building a desktop system with a RAID array. The motherboard is an Asus P5B Deluxe/WiFi (supports RAID arrays 0,1,5, 10 and a JMicron? controller which supports up to 0,1,0+1, JBOD RAID function , processor an Intel E6600, 3GB Corsair 6400 RAM (2x1024 and 2x512), nVidia Quadro 560 Pro Video Edition and 4 Maxtor 250GB SATA hard drives. I would like to back up my system and data using an external SATA hard drive.

One of the most important programs I run is AutoCAD 2005 and all releases, excluding 2008, are 32 bit programs. Since this is a $3K+ piece of software, upgrading to 2008 is not an option at this time. This is not a gaming machine, but Flight Simulator is run from time to time, but is not of prime consideration.

As a result, I need to run a 32 bit operating system to use my current version of AutoCAD. I would also like to use a 64 bit operating system, so am looking at a dual boot system.

First, I have no idea of what the advertised JBOD RAID function supporting RAID 0,1,0+1 is.

15. RAID 5 Windows 2003 server
I just got a small server (HP ML 110) with 4 disks (SAS).
I installed win 2003 server in disk0 and after I booted the server and wanted to add the other 3 disks in a RAID 5 configuration that includes all 4 disks.
(hardware RAID5 is not possible since the server only supports RAID 0 & 1)
Question: can I add the 3 disks and create a RAID5 to an OS that is already running on another disk?
