This article covers my exact reasoning for owning a Home Server. Unfortunately, it did not prepare me for my 1.5tb drive failing in my HP Home Server this morning.

There is little documentation that I have found yet to attempt to recover from this. So the average user would still likely spend that $1500 for data recovery and several hundred more for services of a consultant.

Duplication is set on so in theory the files should be on another drive. But Where are they and how do I point to these new ones? And is the drive really bad? I will remove and reinstall it and hope the system tells me something.
