Raid 5 failure - please help

Admiral Huddy · 09-02-2009, 10:40

First time for me..

I have a screen showing that RAID-5 has failed. Continuing the startup process I then get a black screen stating "disk read error".

The system won't boot.

Being RAID-5, I would have thought this would have just downgraded to a single disk config, reporting the disk in error?

My questions are:

1. How can I determine which disk is in error?
2. How can I recover from this?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
