Foreign Drive - Stripped (Expert Help Only)

[ScottF]

I have a video editing system running W2K. The C drive is
the OS and then there is a stripped volumn of three 36
Gig SCSI drives.

We had a motherboard problem, had also reformated C and
reinstalled the OS. The Disk managers now show the three
individual 36 gig drives as "Foreign Drives.

Question is if we try to import them individually will
they come back as stripped with the same data in them? Is
the data already gone or is there a special way to bring
them back without losing the data?

I wonder if candy stripers are the same as candy strippers ? Hmmmm...

You do mean striped data not stripped - Right ?

Are you performing RAID ?

Do you have a RAID controller ?

I don't think your 3 disks are stripped of the data they contained -
with some luck they might still be striped. This link might help:

If it does not then you may have to retrieve the data from your
backup medium
