Daniel, we need more information in order to formulate an accurate solution to this issue. Which model of server is this happening on? What was done that caused the server to request a reboot? Which Operating System are you running? Are the hard drives part of a RAID configuration or JBOD? It could be something as simple as a driver issue or may be a hardware failure.

Write back with the information and we will help as best we can.

Good luck,
