Eric,
I would get a copy of Steve Gibson's SpinRite
(http://www.grc.com/sr/spinrite.htm) and run it on each individual
disk. I've heard (have never had to use it myself) that it can find
errors and repair then allowing the software RAID to work.
It's $89.00 US per copy IIRC.

Good afternoon,
I lost a volume on one of my NT servers the other day, and I can not
find a way to get it back. It is a non-fault tolerant striped set
created through Windows NT. It is not a hardware RAID. The other
array I can still access shows it's formatted as NTFS. The array
giving me troubles shows as "unknown format". All disks are present
and accounted for in Disk Administrator, and none of the drives have
any problems listed. It looks like NT just lost the settings for this
array. Of course, the data is not backed up.
Can I get this array back? Any utilities I can run against the disks
to find the configuration information? I'm currently downloading the
NT Resource Kit to see if I can find anything on there that might help.
Thanks,
