Server Major probs

Urgent help required with this problem.
I had a drive failour in my 2003 small business server. It has two drives with raid 1 but no hot spare, I fitted a hot spare and the system did an automatic rebuild. Did a restart everything working fine. Twenty min later i switched off removed damaged drive and now the server won't allow log on. before the ctrl log on screen apears I get an error message stating invalid password change and the server restarts.

Any idea how to resolve this quickly as I am stumped.

Urgent !!

 

What system are you using to provide the RAID? OS, other software, or do you have dedicated RAID hardware?

 

Its a Dell card that came fitted set up as raid 1

 

I am not familar with Dell RAID card. However, with hardware RAID cards there is usually an option on boot to going into the firmware. CTRL A or similar. The firmware often provides a number of options for rebuilding the RAID. That's were I'd look.

Also try removing disks so you only have one hard disk in there (this should be the one you think is still OK). If that doesn't work swap it for the other.

 

Thanks for your suggestions. appears that active directory is ******* and that is what is causing the problem.
