Hi All,

Am a newbie here and in RAID. Maybe starting from the beginning will help. I have a P4 Intel Server with s3000AH board that has embedded RAID CU.

At some point this reported that "Array(s) in Offline State".... This machine has 2 identical HDDs and on pressing "any" key it wold boot into windows( Server 2003).

..and in error I unplugged the working drive :cry: and from that time the ,machine hasn't been able to boot. Took out both HDDs, slaved them, ran scandisk with autofix. reconnected the the HDDs and now the msg that comes is "WARNING ! Configuration could not be resolved " "press any key to CNRL +E to go configuration Utility"

Seems the machine cant boot without reconfiguring / sorting out the the RAID!!?
I have no idea what to do here going forward. I don't know my options either! The other thing I should add is that both HDDs DO respond on the prescribed channels/ports 0 and 1. Is this any solace?
