If you have lost 2 HD you may be sol. Run SpinRite on the failed HD's, it may beable to repair the broken table. This has worked for some. Then replace the Maxtor HD's with some good Interprise WD HD. I have seen many times where Maxtor fail in buckets. I don't trust them or use them.

You should have your units on UPS BU with auto shut down...... and restart. Just needs to have a UPS that has the network card. The latest OS supports UPB cable too.
