I had two identical (Samsung) hard disks in a RAID 0 config, then left on vacation. When I cam back, I discover that one disk is no longer assigned to teh array, and the other is useless without the other being recognized as part of it. Is there any way to rebuild the array without having to format either of them? I have data on both that I want to recover.
For reference, I have an ASUS K8V mobo, and the drives are smasung SP1213C 120gb SATA. I've ruled out any cabling or power errors. Thanks.

Hi bahamut0013,
I am not very skilled on RAID systems, and I was waiting for some other members posting here, but, as far as I know, RAID 0 offers no fault tolerance. If one drive fails, all data is lost.

You can wait for more skilled advices, but I'm affraid, as I hope not, that this will be definitive. Sorry sad.gif

Ironbender is correct RAID 0 offers no fault tolerance

It's not really a failure, its just not part of the array somehow.

Looks like I might have to swallow a format.
