RAID5 Array died - please help!
I have a RAID5 array in my machine that has the OS and all of my data on it. This morning all of my programs were not responding (I leave my PC on all the time) and I noticed there was no disk activity.
I powered the machine down by a quick press of the power button to have Windows shut down gracefully. When I booted up I saw that there was an error on one of the disks in the volume. I then rebooted and a different disk then showed an error but the first one no longer showed it. I rebooted a couple more times and the same disk was showing the error so I selected to rebuild the volume.
Now when I boot (after the BIOS screen and the Intel RAID screen) I get the error "BOOTMGR image is corrupt. The system cannot boot"
Any and all help is appreciated! (And yes, I do plan on moving away from the RAID setup. Just want to recover some stuff. Most critical stuff is backed up in one way or another, just not as easy as pulling from the disk.)
