It appears one of the disks in my raid0 array has failed, the error shown on the Adaptec AAR-1220SA bios is:

No Int 13 Drives to support

No bios installed

So i entered the raid bios and checked the status of the array, the second drive is showing the message: Missing Member (ouch).

Questions:

1. Is this just a straight up hard drive failure? I have checked all cables etc.

2. The drive is less than a month old, where do i stand with that?

3. Any ways of recovering data? I was stupid enough not to have backups. (learnt my lesson)


any help appreciated.
 
Yeh i realise that, i'm just wondering if theres any chance that it may not be the drives that have failed. The Error saying "No BIOS Installed" made me think that it could possibly be the Raid card that is borked.
 
I have excepted the fact that the data has been lost, now i'm trying to find out if i need to RMA the drive.

I have both the drives plugged into normal SATA now, do you have any software recommendations for scanning for errors?
