Paul's Unofficial ABIT KT7 site have the lastest tool from Highpoint to FIX broken stripes on their HPT370//372A controllers.
In this early version of the tool it is only possible to fix a RAID-0 array comprising two disks, or a RAID 0+1 array. It will not repair four-disk RAID-0 arrays.
Hit the Read More button to see what Paul's Unofficial ABIT KT7 FAQ are saying. To use the utility do the following:
Copy the utility onto a DOS floppy disk, boot from floppy into DOS and then run the utility by typing "raidrb" at the A: prompt (without quotes). You will be presented with four options.
For the first attempt at rebuilding the RAID array, select option 1 "Create the bak file. And then rebuild!". This will save the configuration of your RAID array and then attempt to rebuild the array.
For any subsequent attempts at rebuilding the RAID array, select option 2 "Don't create the bak file. And rebuild!". This will rebuild the array using a previously saved bak file.
If the rebuild fails, use option 3 "Resume these disks' information!" to restore the original disk configuration. This uses the bak file created when you ran option 1.
After running the utility, reboot, and see if you can access the disk from DOS (eg. type DIR). If you can, your disk is repaired!
If the utility fails to rebuild the array, Highpoint recommends you contact their support department.
