You mean SOFTWARE RAID or HARDWARE RAID? &nbsp;If Hardware, there is nothing for the software to do - the hardware does it - if the hardware failed on a hardware RAID, you need to sent it to a data recovery - assuming the usual fixes don't work (bringing a drive back online).

I guess I mean the equivalent of whatever the F6-load-driver process does in windows.<br />
<br />
I have to F6 and load &quot;drivers&quot; sata drives and perc raid volumes, would I have to do this if I boot under say knoppix?<br />
<br />
I think at least 50% of the time or more when windows won't boot a raid partition, it is intact, hardware-wise.<br />
(And in this case in particular, as I am helping with a thread in w2000, the lights on the perc are green.)<br />
So I was wondering if booting knoppix would get him to his NTFS files on the volume since he does not<br />
have a backup.<br />

You can try knoppix, it may or may not have built in support for perc controllers, you'd just have to try...<br />

Any CD distro mount perc partiton

The variety of Linux distributions creates myriad issues relating to configuration and operations when computers are networked, not the least of which is the use of various network management applications, some of which are included with specific distributions, while others are standalone applications.
