We had a power spike that took out the power supply on our unit. Had the power supply replaced but, ever since then the unit thinks the Raid-5 drive has failed and begins to regenerate. When it finishes regenerating the Raid, after about 1/2 an hour (or so), everything freezes up on the device. The only way to get it going again is a hard boot which starts the whole process over again (Raid failed - regenerate - finish regeneration - freeze, etc. etc...) Any ideas?
Damaged drive controller on HDD a possibility. Pull drive and test as a slave to rule out a bad RAID controller. Let me know if the drive is failing under SMART setting in system BIOS upon boot.

I haven't tried your solution yet as we are currently undergoing a rollover to SAP.
I tried testing the drive but was unsure as to whether a RAID-5 drive could be imported onto my XP machine. When I tried it the message came up that I could lose data so I felt it best not to import until I have more information.
Is there a way to do this test without losing data?
