Good Morning Duncan,
Yes, I do believe that Vertas did own Backup Exec for a while, and it is
now a Symantec product. I think what Microsoft did was to license the
basic code from Veritas at the time and provided the function with
XP. Ironically I still get support updates from Symantec that
Came home from a week of traveling to find my HTPC non-functional. Power
supply failure. Swapped in a new power supply, and on reboot I get the
dreaded constant error beep from my Areca 1220 RAID controller. And yep,
the array is degraded.
I have a 8 x 1 TB RAID 5 array. The RAID config
Hello Brian,
Your best bet is to replace the hard drive with another 1TB of the same
size. Insert the drive into the RAID and it will rebuild.
Pretty easy, eh?

I would go a bit further and say the original drive *probably* isn't bad,

I don't know of a way, but you can quickly download a bootable iso of
linux and use that.
I popped it into a Win7 system and when I opened the disk management dialog
it asked if I wanted to setup the drive with either MBR or GUID. I choose
MBR, created a new volume, then deleted it.
That tells me the drive is working just fine and should suffice to re-set it
for the RAID, no? I can
Brian,
By now you have suggestions from smarter RAID-folk than me.
I use an old server with a 3-drive RAID5 array.
(I now use 2 hot spares!)
My array has gone degraded 3 times in the past.
In each case, replacing the 'suspect' drive has allowed the RAID
controller to fully rebuild the array.

That will not wipe the RAID signature.
I would just boot to a DBAN disc and run a quick erase on the suspect drive.
Before we get too far along though, all of the data on the array is still
accessible, correct? Areca cards, especially on older firmware, sometimes
get temperamental when drives
DBAN I can do.
Array and data are just fine, for now.
