howto read Software-Raid5

[Erik Lukac]

Hi there,
First I am not sure wether I am in the right newsgroup but as Win XP
also supports software-raid it might be. Tell me if there's a better topic.

So, I am using Win2003 Standard with SP2 as backup-DC with software
raid5 and since Monday it seems like video and network-card broke down.
As it has some data I'd like to restore I need to access the harddisk
(somehow logonservice is not starting in failsafe mode and the os is
stuck at "preparing network connections" in normal and failsafe with
network drivers).
So my question: is there any tool (maybe in ressource toolkit) I could
use for my purpose? Where are the logs stored and how could I access
them when I have access to the software-raid-device (but with a
different system)?

Thanks in advance

Erik

You are asking a Win 2003 question in a WinXP newsgroup? Just because it
supportS raid software? Why not ask in a Win 2003 newsgroup, or a Raid
forum? DUH!!!!
