There is ZERO redundancy in RAID0. Again, your data is gone. Replace the drive, partition it again, then use RAID1, 5, or 6 on your remaining drives to get some kind of redundancy. Then restore what you can from backups. -- Steven Haigh Email: netwiz at crc.id.au Web: http://www.crc.id.au Phone: (03) 9001 6090 - 0412 935 897
