The RAID BIOS is terrible - my options are "Create Array", "Delete Array", "Reset Disk States", and "Exit". It shows only the one array, but all four disks show as Offline Member in red there. I'm just concerned that if I reset the array or delete it, the state table (or whatever other magic is involved in making RAID work) will get hosed up and the data will be unrecoverable.
