I have a Windows 2000 AD Domain with two domain controllers. I want to
rebuild the machine that is the file server. It has 5 drives configured as a
software RAID. Can I do this without loosing all the data? Is it possible to
format C, rebuild the machine, and recover the RAID with data intact?

Thanks,
Mark
 
You should be able to format the C drive even with
software RAID as long as the drives are dynamic (instead
of basic). I have worked with software RAID 1 before in
the senario you mentioned and I did not loose any data or
RAID configuration. It is, however, always a good idea to
back up your data before attempting any changes to drives.
