2 drives "failed" on a 3 drive RAID 5

Solution 1:

Biggest 'Doh!' of the week I reckon - sorry dude.

The drives themselves won't be physically broken, this is simply that you've killed the array by removing a second disk before the first one had rebuilt - I'm >90% sure your array is toast. Basically you shouldn't have removed them at all while live, if you absolutely had to you should have waited for the array to rebuild before doing the second disk.

It's reinstall/restore time I'm afraid - your data is gone.

Solution 2:

After retrieving my data with Raid Reconstructor I went to reconfigure my raid and reinstall the OS.

When I got the OS install prompt I decided one last time to try to repair the OS boot files manually from CMD prompt....

It Worked.

Computer is back up and running (limping). I still need to do a full repair install since some system files are being reported as corrupt.
