Server won't boot / failed mirror

[Paul_L]

Wonder if anyone could offer any advice here!

 

HP ML110 Server

Configured with 2 250 maxtor SATA drives in a Hardware RAID mirror

Server failed, no bootable OS!

Go into RIAD set-up, shows one failed HDD and one member HDD, selecting create array says ‘Status Rebuild’ – Bootable ‘YES’

 

Message then says Rebuild will occur during OS operation.

 

Go to reboot and …….. Won’t boot, just get BSOD after 2 minutes

 

So….

 

Replaced failed drive, now says 2 member HDD, Status ‘Rebuild’ Bootable ‘YES’

 

Reboot and same again, server fails to boot and you get BSOD

 

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

 

Could it be the RAID controller on the motherboard?

 

thanks in advance Paul

What sort of BSOD? What Stop error code?

What sort of BSOD? What Stop error code?

 

Didn't record it all but it's along the lines of 'The Register cannot load the Hive'..... and something about software!!

 

Sorry does that help?

Data corruption prior to the drive failure has hosed your OS installation. Restore from backup.

What are the odds on this?

Oh quite good. Had a similar problem when AD was corrupted due to a faulty HDD starting to fail. Which had been nicely backed up as corrupted too.
