Yep, that same happened with their hardware raid-1 on an ML 530 (a pretty up-scale server). Had one bad drive (apparently) and the controller managed to wipe out the complete string.  The other controller channel was unaffected.
 
I'm pretty certain, I've see this happen twice (the second time I got lucky.)

Ouch.
 
We've periodically had problems with Compaq (now HP) Proliant servers that have been mostly about the pre-failure being too sensitive; it's now part of our best practice to keep up with driver and ROM updates.  This used to be difficult, but now HP has a ROM update bootable ISO image we download, it detects and updates the ROMs on the motherboard, the array cards, and the microcode on the hard drives.  It's called the Firmware Maintenance CD.

Windows. Power went out, for some reason the UPS went into shutdown mode, it appears some thing on the server hung preventing it from shutting down before the UPS shutdown timer expired, the rest is history. Turns out the Ghost image is inconsistent, so I am rebuilding the OS from the ground, will try to do a restore from a backup I made of the extracted OS partition in Ghost, not sure how that is going to go, but if not then will have to recreate in IIS 47 web sites. Data for the sites is fine, as that was on a pair of separate SCSI drives.

 

So much for getting caught up on other work.

Oh man...I feel your pain!  Happened to us mid-April.  Fortunately it was just after midnight on a Friday, so we had everything back up before morning and no one noticed the interruption in service.

 

Was it Windows mirroring or hardware level?

Off the topic, but it interrupted my work on my mail server.

 

Any one ever loose both mirrored OS drives at the same time?

 

FUN FUN FUN

 

NOT!

 

At least Ghost is able to read the master.
