Adding disks to an existing raid 0 array

A colleague (yes a colleague) has attempted to add two new HDDs to an existing raid array. I am pretty sure it was a raid 0 on a windows 2003 server.  He put the disks in the machine and then via disk mangement brought them onlne.

The raid on the server now seems to be corrupt.

Has all our data been corrupted or can we rebuild the raid array reactivate the disks in any way shape or form.

Many thanks,

Mike

All you need to do is restore things from your backup. You could try using the RAID reconstructor, but in my opinion it isn't worth trying.

@rindi "Anything on a RAID 0 array can't be important".  Nice one, just what we were all thinking!
"Anything on a RAID 0 array can't be important" - but if it is, hire a new sysadmin.
