Hi guys,
Posting here in the hope that a few more people will see it.
Friend rang who runs his own business. His Dell T110 II won't boot, just says no boot media found. Its got 2 x 500 disks in RAID (mirrored) on a software S100 Perc Controller. Going into the PERC management, I can see it says degraded, but it won't tell me which disk. I think it was a power glitch at the house.
Anyway, one disk says Online, the other says ready. You can then make this hot swap and apparently the RAID should rebuild, but because I can't get into Windows I can't install or open Dell Open Manager.
If I try and boot through Windows PE and add the drivers for the S100 controller, I then see the full disk, but not in the repair option, only the "install Windows" option, and I see all 500GB!!!
EEEEK!!
Any help?
