So this is a fun story. As I was peacefully playing WoW on my RAID-1'ed system, all of the sudden the compy freezes for a second or two and I get a pop-up on my taskbar saying 'RAID ACCESS FAILURE'. I ignore this as some kind of mishap and continue playing. 5 Minutes later the freezy bit happens again. 'RAID DISK FAILURE'.
So apprently, I now have a degraded RAID Mirror array, and am running on one drive. It's fine so far, although the compy is a bit slower.
What do I do?
Is the disk that failed gone forever to Silicon heaven?
Is my computer doomed forever because of an impending system error?
Do I have cheese with my buttered bread?

Halp.

Since you're using a mirrored RAID your data is safe and the PC should continue to operate. As far as the hard drive you could try to reboot the system and see if it spins up. If so you could try to remove it from the RAID array, reformat the bad drive and see if the drive still lives. I wish you luck, bad hard drives=sadface...

though i laughed at the buttered bread part, i agree with therabidsmurf. you should try to reboot your computer.


Best of luck.
