HEEELLLLPPP!!! RAID 5 Drive Died

[lifegard2]

OK, I'm embarassed to admit this, but I've never had a RAID 5 drive fail on me, and now one has and I don't know what to do. <blush>

I'm running a whitebox server w/ NT4 SP6a and an Adaptec SCSI RAID card (I think it's an Adaptec I20). I've got three 18GB IBM SCSI 10k drives connected to this card.

I'm fairly certain I can bluff my way through it, but I figure why take chances when the machine is a production box that handles all backups for my company and I have you fine folks to rely on for assistance.

Can anyone help me?

You should read the Adapter Manual for replacing a bad drive and rebuilding it when replaced.
You can find information here:

I would load the Storage Manager utility, double click the LSU that represents the failed RAID array and select rebuild.
