Data Recovery Clicking HDD drive in RAID 5 array
Posted: Wed Mar 23, 2005 6:46 am
I have a RAID 5 x IBM 200GB array with huge graphic & music files on it.
I wanted to add another drive as one drive was clicking and was in fear of a crash amid rendering process.
I attempted to add an extra drive, I added the additional drive to RAID 5 array, gone through the setup and set the controller to reconfigure the current RAID 5 array to house the extra drive. Then controller crashed and the reconfiguration failed.
Is there any chance to extract the data on the current array by reinitialize the RAID array and copy the data back, without restating the reconfiguration process.
I desperately need any assistance here.
