Hi all -

I've got a home system which I use for video editing. I've
got two data storage-only drives in a RAID-0 array,
created using W2K's Disk Management tool.

I had a big crash - bad motherboard maybe? I'm not sure,
but I replaced a bunch of stuff and now have W2K back up.

The operating system, though, doesn't know that these two
drives are meant to be striped together.

I know that on NT there was a tool called, I think,
ftedit.exe (FT for Fault Tolerant) which could be used to
tell the registry to treat certain drives as an array. Is
there such a tool on W2K? Is it a part of Disk Management
that I'm overlooking?

Thanks in advance for any assistance or pointers -

Jim
 
Hi Jim,

I understand the use of raid 0 for speed and performance
as I am a video editor myslelf... but you should maybe
consider using the drives in a RAID5 configuration to
prevent this in the future. I don't know of an easy way
to recover from this... I would have to say your data is
as good as gone...raid 0 is good for non-critical data ...
I hope you have backup's of your video editing jobs.
