Parity Error · 06-05-2006, 09:13 PM

2000 sn 51xxx
Product: 0 - "Minnie: 2 drive IDE" - Platform Bytes "2.0.0"
Server-3.4.803, Build Date: Jan 15 2003 18:04:19
{where do I dump HW/BIOS versions?}

RAID active

Went to replace the one dead 40GB drive with another. (Right Hand drive is DOA). But a previously working IBM Deskstar I installed, with identical CHS, had lots of head-banging as if it were dead, then after a power cycle or two, all was well.

?Bad Omen?

Now I have one empty Drive 1, and one Data Protection Drive (0, I guess?).

I want to reestablish the RAID, but DO NOT CARE about the data that's there. Do I just reformat the so-called Data Protection Drive or.....?
