Thanks all- I've tried so many demo ver. of things I am not sure what I used anymore. I should have kept a written log of it all:) Some of it is documented in this thread. It is one of the RAID0 drives that's near death. I'll take a look at that combo of Spin Rite and Runtime's software...

Thanks much. I'll take a look at the site. I have rebuilt a lot of the data from various sources I had including some backups on another computer. If there is much cost I am going to have to accept that I have done what I can. I think the lowest cost I saw thus far was just under 1k$. Not going...

The saga continues- The drive(s) are so close to working it can be smelled but they just don't quite get there no matter what. The latest is that they will still almost boot. Gets to the splash screen, reboots then the RAID array goes offline. I installed another IDE 80 gig drive and tried...

Maxtor has a utility on their website that may help determine what is happening. It does everything from anlyzing the problem to a low level format. It may allow you to get access to the drive even if your box won't normally do it. Suggest being careful to read the info with it. It's straight...

Mainegeek Thanks for the reply. Here' a long answer to a short question. :) I have another version of the OS on an old, 3 gig Maxtor IDE, in the same box. It boots on that one. The RAID drives should be JBOD then. What happens is that the OS then boots, the good RAID drive comes on line...

Thanks much. A PCB swap is a good idea. The data should get backed up from the good drive first. That is if it can be done considering the RAID0 thing. Maybe it can be "ghosted" in the same manner as a stand alone drive. This is all getting pretty complex. It would be painful to lose all of my...

The computer is built on an ASUS P4PE, 2.4GHZ P4, 512M RAM, SATA native to the mb, IDE also. It has two Maxtor drives hooked up to the SATA controller using adapters running in a RAID0 Array. The RAID controller is from Promise. OS is WinXP Home. It's all been working fine for about two years...
