And it keeps getting better.
I decided to see if I could format disk 1. I wasn't going to actually do it yet until I thought about it some more, but wanted to know if I could.
When I go to the Format Disk screen it tells me "No disks found". This could be because it seems to still be trying to run a disk check on disk 1. Anyway it looks like this option is out as far as the web browser goes. Might be able to do it from the command line in config/debug.
Check or Repair Disk is giving me this, "This page is not available because no disks were found". Even more goodness, Disk Status is telling me, "RAID5 - Large data protection disk
Uninitialized. Disk has not been validated yet. Please wait".
So it looks like it's the command line, or a pulling of the disk cables on disk 1. I'd just hate to go this route and have it orphan disk 2 and leave me with nothing.
Looking around the forum I've seen a few messages about power supply problems. Is this a likely cause? I've got a spare 4100 (without drives) that I can pull the power supply from.
Some more info:

Hardware: 2.2.1

BIOS: 2.4.437
Just an aside here. I've seen several messages on the forums about using SpinRite to check drives, and they all say not to let the PC access the drive after you install it in a PC. How do you keep a PC from trying to access a drive but still make it available so that SpinRite can see it?
Another question. I have a drive adapter like this one
Newer Technology USB 2.0 Universal Drive Adapter. Is it possible to hook a drive from a Snap to a PC using this and then have SpinRite check the drive?
