Hey guys, I'm posting this from my fathers slower computer with Dial up! hahaha *winey poor me*
anyhow, last night I was on my computer and was on ebay and youtube, and all of a sudden my computer CHOKED, almost like when something runs out of memory, the mouse moved still, about one pixel per hour, so I shut it off, I guess its my wallet's sick twisted way of telling me to stay off ebay!!1 haha
anyhow, I turn my computer on again and it wont boot, it gets past the beginning count and such, but then when it goes to verify the integrity of the Raid 0 array it just hangs, and it did this several times, it showed both drives as being there and functioning, but it just hangs, then I say okay fuck it, I'll go back tomorrow, so I go back today and now it's saying 1 of the 2 drives is missing?!?! and therefore the raid 0 is not functioning. I go into the bios and everything is fine, nothing has been changed *to my knowledge* as I'm the only one that uses the computer, the computer will boot from a cd, but when I boot from my WinXP disc and try to repair it, it shows as there being no drives to repair, which I understand obviously because I set this up in raid 0 myself.
so I'm not sure what to do? I've tried searching with google and found some results, but I wanted to post here first,
should I install a simple IDE drive and try to read the raid 0 array this way? to save what data I can and then just reformat and start again, or is there some way I can repair this? I'm going to check to see if the harddrive got mysteriously unplgged physically, but I doubt it as I installed a burner about a month ago and everyhting has worked fine since.
I update my antivirus software all the time, but havnt been on top of adware or anything else, but I havn't noticed much in the way of odd things happening, this was sort of sudden and unexpected*like always*
so please you IT guys HELP!!!! or please direct me to someone who can help me!
thanks guys!
