If you can boot from one HD you have several options. The best option since drive 1 HD is messed up (from a Windows PC) is to break the array down to a single HD. The FAQ's have these procedures. You need to look at the System log and see if there was a HD failure. SnapOS is very sensitive to timming, so if the SMART had to do multiple/consective repairs can cause this. The reason I test all HD with SpinRite.

The only utility that I know that can do repair on a SnapOS HD is SpinRite by GRC. This program does not look at the data, it looks at sectors/tracks at the bit level, so it does not inturpit the data.
