When I booted up my machine just now I noticed that it did not go into Windows. Then it said that it was missing the OS. So I rebooted and looked closer at the startup.
I see that my boot drive, which happens to be the same drive that is striped has failed. I go into the Intel Matrix Storage Manager and see that one of the disks has a yellow SMART Event Status attached to it. So it looks like I'll be in the market for another hard drive pretty soon. So what should my next steps be? I have been backing up my OS RAID volume to an external drive. Is it as easy as breaking the raid and reinstalling from the image there?

Should I boot from the Windows CD and use the recovery program?

I believe it was a full backup each Sunday night.

I created a disk image right after I had installed Windows fresh, all the updates and any applications I always use (golden image). Plus the weekly backups I have done.

Well looks like I'm off to Best Buy to get a new hard drive. Seems like the cheapest is around $60 and is a TB drive. From Rbstr's earlier thread I'll probably stick with the TB drive for now.

FROM: Restore your computer from a system image backup
To restore using a Windows installation disc or a system repair disc If you can't access Control Panel, you can restore your computer using a Windows installation disc or a system repair disc (if you have one). Insert the installation disc or system repair disc. Restart your computer using the computer's power button. If prompted, press any key to start the computer from the installation disc or system repair disc. If your computer is not configured to start from a CD or DVD, check the information that came with your computer. You might need to change your computer's BIOS settings. For information about which settings to change, check your computer manufacturer's website. For more information about BIOS, see BIOS: frequently asked questions. Choose your language settings, and then click Next. Click Repair your computer. This step only applies if you are using a Windows installation disc. Select a recovery option, and then click Next. |
