At this point I need to check whats on that array due to some data corruption. The drives in the array are probably not plugged in as they were when used before. Is it possible, and if so how, to recover that array? I've popped in a different system drive and have got the box back up, I thought there'd be a way to read the labels on the drives and recreate the raid set.. am i wrong? -- Derrick MacPherson
