Not at all unusual with some manufacturer's drives that are fine and thats
only seen with the one drive with only a single reallocated sector too.

[your pathetic excuse for bullshit flushed where it belongs]

Yes, tho I'd personally boot a BART PE CD with Everest
on it just so the raid doesnt start chucking a wobbly about
one of the raid drives being missing etc.

They are RAID0, not RAID1. Also, my system can boot off of 3 different
partitions each containing winxp; 2 of them are on the raid drives but the
3rd once is on my root IDE drive so it should boot fine. I'm just not sure
how it will deal with ONE drive on the RAID0 controller, whether it will
even see it or if it will somehow put garbage on the drive.

The more I think about this, since I regularly back up my array, even if
data is destroyed on the drive in the test I have full image backups to
restore it.

Thanks,

Colonel Blip.

Good thought. Can't recall if I've already created one some time back. If
not, easy enuf to do.

It will do that anyway if it's hardware/firmware RAID, clueless.

More than one, so it appears.
