the server had a hardware raid mirror , it stopped booting, can only assume that a port on the card failed- my Swahili is a bit off so its hard for me to communicate with the local tech, the data files/shares are replicated to the man office via DFSR

There are so many unanswered questions here that it's pretty much impossible to offer advice. The only thing I'll say is that I would be completely sure of good backups before tampering with that disk.

I dont know how long it will be till we can get another card shipped over there and installed, so i was wondering if I should attempt to "online the second disc" and try to create a windows raid, or just wait till we can get a replacement card? any thoughts?
