Actually, from the log, it only looks like one drive has failed, not both. I'll let someone a little more familiar with the error messages double check me on that though. I'm not really sure why you can't get to your data from what you have posted. Can you post your entire boot up/error log?

As to the 4100's capabilities, you CAN use 160GB drives, but you will only get 137GB out of them, the limit of the OS. You will be waisting some space, but typically 160GB drives aren't any more expensive than 120's and you are getting an extra 17GB per drive that way.

If you want to upgrade your drives, you need to BACK UP EVERYTHING first, and then pull ALL the drives. If you have a RAID set of 80 GB drives and install a new drive, the snap will format the new drive as 80 GB regardless of its actual capacity. If you pull all the drives then it will format the new drives to their full capacity as the OS is stored on flashram. If you are missing the help files after the new drives have been formated, you would have to do a full OS reinstall from a disk. Not a big deal to not have the help files though, the snap works fine without them...

How much RAM do you have in this 4100? If you only have 64MB, it would be as good a time as any to bump it up to 128MB, or even 256. Do this before you upgrade the hard drives and create your new RAID set, however, as the snap will use your increased RAM more efficiently if it sees more RAM before it creates the new RAID set.
