I'm running a netcell 3 Port SATA card with 3 200g drives in Raid 3 on an old server. About a week ago, one of the drives started making really bad noises and on server reboot the entire array was gone.
At present, using either the BIOS utility or the netcell windows util, I can only see 2 drives (3rd drive had to be unplugged). The problem is the card is no longer seeing an array at all. I can select the 2 drives to "Create" an array, but the only option it has is to use Raid 0 or Raid 1. The util does say that there may be data on the drives, so they're not totally gone.
So, the question I have is, how do I recreate the array at least long enough to pull my data off of the drives? Do I have to go out and track down another 200g SATA drive to stick into the array and hope that it can magically re-create it?
The whole reason I was even using RAID was to guard against drive failure, but now a drive has failed and my array went poof.
Update:
In the BIOS configuration utility it is showing my 2 drive as U (Unassigned). One is plain U and the other is U# - Partial array. Does this mean that it's not seeing the partial array data on the 2nd drive?
Any suggestions?
thanks
