Changes

Once assigned a drive letter or mount point, the new striped volume is ready for use.

When a disk in a striped set fails or goes off-line the volume will be listed as either Missing, Offline, Failed or Unreadable. If the disk is offline or missing the first thing to check is that all drives in the striped set are powered up and that the connectors are firmly in place. If a disk can be brought back on line the next step is to instruct Windows to rescan the disks so that striped volume can be brought back online. Do this by selecting ''Rescan disks'' from the Action menu. If the disk is listed as failed, unreadable or shows errors then the disk may have physical errors which suggest the disk needs to replaced and the data on the striped volume restored from the most recent back up.
