I need help, or information about repairing a "broken" RAID 0 Array. I have 2 200Gb, SATA150, WD caviar drives on an Asus motherboard with the Via KT890 chipset. The other day I got the "blue screen of death" from windows XP Pro, and on reboot the onboard raid chip failed to initialize the drives and reports one drive as being "broken". I downloaded the Via V-RAID utilities and I think I have figured out what has happened. It appears that both drives are spinning and functioning properly, however one drive has simply (ha ha ha...) lost its connection to the array. Now my question is this: If I delete the "broken" array, and reconnect the array using the create new array tool will the drives start talking again and retain the information I previously had on them? I know no one probably knows for sure, but what do you think???

This screen shows my array with an "X"ed out "broken" drive, the drive that should be in its place is listed below the array.


This shows the drives status.


Anyway, thanks for any help...
