This is refered to as PANIC MODE. Not Good. This is normal due to hardware failure/problem or OS. Havn't seen this on the 4x00 models, mainly on 1x00 & 2000 models. There is a way to recover sometimes with the 1k or 2k models. Have no idea how what will happen to the data or has happen to the data.

Was the 80 gig clean or did it have a file structure on it? If so I hope it wasn't unix.

You by chance didn't get the drives swaped around did you?

I would remove the failed drive (or 80gig) all together and see if the unit comes up.

If you have another 4100, I would move the drives over to it and test.

If the data is criticle I would stop right now and see if I could locate the software for recovering the raid set.

djontz is the 4100 user on the forum.
The drive previously had a busted copy of Vista on it.

No, the 80 gig replaced drive 2(or 1 if we start at 0).

I'll try taking the drive out all together. I do not have another server but I could look around for a cheap used one to stick my drives in.

I got the server second hand so I don't have any extra software if any came with it. Is there a way I can pull the data from the drives without actually having to physically remove the drives?

EDIT:

Removing the drive does nothing but flash the drive 2 LED amber.
