Yes, if the config about correct boot order is lost. If you boot a Linux of your choice and are manage to configure internet access you can try to install the "testdisk" utility. You will be able to search for partition tables and can browse to the filesystem. Depends on what you will find you can try to recovery it our just simple mount the filesystem. Regards,Joerg
Hello, first of all forgive me that my understanding of Dell RAID system is limited. I have a dell PowerEdge server with PREC H330 Mini controller with 6 of the 8 slot having a physical drive (each 2.182TB) setup as RAID 5 (showing around 10TB with degraded status). Initially the server failed to boot with an error message that it can't find bootable device with the 7th slot blinking orange. To make the problem much worse, in an attempt to clear dust removed the drive from 7th slot and mistakenly put in back on 1 slot which as empty. Upon realizing it I then removed it and put it back on slot 7. Now at the physical disk management section of the controller it shows disk 1 is rebuilding at 0% and disk 7 says foreign. All the rest 5 are online. There is an import or clear foreign configuration for drive 7 but not sure what this will do. Is there any way to recover from these?
RAID Disk shows foreign status after being removed and inserted into the wrong 
slot
