Replace all bad drives anyway. Not ALL drives. Raid 5 only allows for 1 drive to go bad at a time. One thing you can do when you get your array up again, is to add a spare drive to your box and tell your raid software to only use that drive when one of the main array drives fails, It's usually called a hot spare.

Replace all the drives, restore from backup. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Brett Wesoloski Sent: Thursday, November 29, 2001 9:12 AM To: MSWinNT Discussions Subject: Replacing drive on Raid 5 Well I have another question today. Here is the problem. Three drives. 1 - good 1 - Bad 1 - Goes bad after a couple minutes on start up. I tried to replace the bad one. I put in the new drive used create a spare. It started to transfer the data and then the one that goes bad went bad. Now the new drive I put in says bad right away. I am using Adaptec ci/0 management software. Version 4.01 Any idea's on what I can do.
