topic HP Smart Array 5300 partition died in Disk Enclosures https://community.hpe.com/t5/disk-enclosures/hp-smart-array-5300-partition-died/m-p/3976665#M23374 I have a HP Smart Array 5304/256 Controller that has a RAID 5 setup of 6-72.8GB disk + 1 spare and a mirrored set of 36GB drives attached to a G2 DL380. After a rebuilt of the server OS the mirrored set came back perfectly fine, however the partition on the RAID 5 set is no longer recognized. Disk manager (Win 2k3 - Standard) just lists it as unallocated space.<BR /><BR />The array is still intact, all disk are seen, and replacing the original OS disks into the server and booting with them did not make the partition visible either.<BR /><BR />I have been trying to get a data recovery tool to work with the 5300 controller but it is not recognized since it is a DOS utility. If I had the a 'DOS' driver for it I could load it; it does not appear that HP has such a beast.<BR /><BR />Anyone have an idea as to what I could try next?
