Well, I would read how to re-build the RAID. So if she
decide to change
the lettering and so forth and things don't work out, then
FDISK might
be the way to go! <shrug> Is there a restore
partition on this computer?
If so, that could also be an option.
Also, would there be a RAID utlity program installed? It
would normally
be in the systray.
