I have a Proliant 3000R, PII-333 with 900 odd MB of Ram, a 2DH Controller and 7 drives in 2 Raid 5 Partitions. After a fan failure recently which has been replaced, the machine boots through post, but then stops on a black screen with a lot of disk activity. I assume it is rebuilding the arrays, but after 3 hours of waiting it still hasn't started up windows. Is there any way of getting it to boot before it rebuilds the arrays, or am I missing something?
