If it is an LSI, then download their MegaRaid Storage Manager utility. That should allow you to see the status of the drives. The latest version works with the older cards - I am using it with an old Perc 5i (which is LSI) on Windows 2008 R2, although it detects it as Windows Vista.

If not, you can fetch it online, not sure if it needs a reboot, I doubt it. jlc -----Original Message----- From: Bill Humphries [mailto:nt...@hedgedigger.com] Sent: Wednesday, December 15, 2010 1:48 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Re: LSI SATA RAID issue Heh. This thing is way out of warranty. The SATA drives are atleast 4 years old...so that adds tp my concern regarding array status. They want to make it through this next tax season with this server.
