Hi,

My dev BQ box has had RAID problems for a long time now. It will not 
rebuild the array and if I plug the main (still working) drive into a 
windows box and look at the partitions with partition magic, I only get errors.

this is the partition table from by good BQ box:

Disk /dev/sda: 120.0 GB, 120034123776 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 14593 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes

    Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
/dev/sda1   *           1          13      104391   fd  Linux raid autodetect
/dev/sda2              14         796     6289447+  fd  Linux raid autodetect
/dev/sda3             797         927     1052257+  fd  Linux raid autodetect
/dev/sda4             928       14593   109772145    5  Extended
/dev/sda5             928       14593   109772113+  fd  Linux raid autodetect


This is what is on the BAD Box:

Disk /dev/sda: 160.0 GB, 160041885696 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 19457 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes

    Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
/dev/sda1   *           1          13      104391   fd  Linux raid autodetect
/dev/sda2              14         796     6289447+  fd  Linux raid autodetect
/dev/sda3             797        1057     2096482+  fd  Linux raid autodetect
/dev/sda4            1058       19457   147798000    5  Extended
/dev/sda5            1058        1188     1052226   fd  Linux raid autodetect
/dev/sda6            1189        1319     1052226   fd  Linux raid autodetect
/dev/sda7            1320       19457   145693453+  fd  Linux raid autodetect


Any suggestions as to how to fix this without reformatting the drives 
and starting over?
