The ONLY hope you have is if you only have 3 disks in your RAID 5.  If you have 4 or more disks originally in your RAID 5, then there is nothing you can do but call a very expensive data recovery service to see if they can help. If you only had 3 disks, then, in theory, 2 is all you need to bring it back up. Remove all disks except for the two original/good ones, boot to CTRL-R, Import the Foreign Configuration.
Hello,I have some big issue, that i caused by my stupidity.I have an server poweredge sc1430 with perc 5/i disc controller.I has configured at it raid 5 with 3 HDD.From various reason i disconnected form electricity 2 of those HDD.I start machine and do some operation on it on other HDD that i connected (no ride).Then i again connected those 2 HDD to controller.Now i see those HDD as foreign object and I cant figure how to make it work without crash it even more ...Can someone tell me how to repair it? I think that there is posibility, that if i unplug 3rd disc and plug only those that i removed. RAID should start, at last if configuration is stored on HDD not on controller.Thanks for any advices and please dont write that what i done was stupid, because i know that ... and it was realy hurting shot, in my own knee. Best regards Keiishi
