Well, that happened fast!

I powered down to check connections, etc. like it told me to, and  
that was the end. Bye-bye server.

I must have had a coincidental failure, because I also haven't been  
able to get on-line until just now. Cable problems, I guess. Got just  
one machine on-line, and (naturally) my ProFox address is from my own  
server, so I can't get anything there. &$^*%&#$#.

I feel so ignorant on hardware issues. Yes, I am using the RAID for  
mirroring. Frankly, I didn't know there was any other use of it.  
Silly me, I thought that the RAID array existed so that if one drive  
failed, the other one would take over. Then you get a replacement  
drive. But one drive failed, the system is toast. I suppose I should  
have had a backup drive available, but given my misunderstanding -- not.

In the meanwhile:

  - I took the "surviving" disk from the raid array and booted the  
server with it as a conventional disk. Yay! I got it to boot -- once.  
%^*#$^&%#*^. Now it says that ntoskrnl.exe is missing or corrupt, so  
*that* disk must be dying, too. <grumble>

  - I went out and bought 2 new disks, in preparation for the worst.
