When you boot, you'll be prompted with an option to either continue with logical drives disabled or to re-enable them. F1 and F2 are the options.
Be sure to re-enable the failed logical drive.

Seemingly without cause the server suddenly stopped working. On reboot, it says one or more logical drives has failed.
Drive #1 is the C drive with the OS and Drive #2 is the data drive. It shows that drive #2 is in INTERIM RECOVERY. Does that mean it'll fix itself or I need to replace a drive? Also, for drive #1, it shows "OK" next to the physical drives. Does that mean if I delete the logical drive and recreate it, I could reinstall the OS?
There's only 5 physical drives installed in 6 bays.

s1lv3r almost 7 years@ewwhite I don't want to disagree with a 150k rep user, but are you sure this is the case here? After all we are talking about a decade old U320 SCSI controller and looking at the screens in the OP, I would say he had 3x73g + 3x300g disks, when the server was originally set up.

YarGnawh almost 7 years@ewwhite would it help if i insert a 300gb drive into the 6th bay?

YarGnawh almost 7 years@ewwhite also, i have Window 2013 running on the server. which livecd OS should i use to access LD2?
-
s1lv3r almost 7 years@YarGnawh You have got two unrelated problems here: 1. Your LD2 is missing a drive and running in degraded state (a bad think, as it results in degraded performance and if another drive fails the data will be gone). 2. Your LD1 is offline (so you can't boot your OS).

s1lv3r almost 7 yearsTo solve problem 1. you'll need to add another 300gb drive to the 6th bay, so the RAID can rebuild and finally return to an healthy state. To solve problem 2. you could do as ewwhite suggested, and try to reenable LD1 at the boot promp, or you could try to check out why it failed by running the ADU.
