Added new drive to Raid 5 - now everything is gone

edited May 2006 in Hardware
I have 3 drives configured with raid 5, and while installing another drive the disks were being shown as offline. The server was powered down and the drive was installed. When the server rebooted, the boot sector could not be found. The data was stored on the system partition. Is there anyway of retrieving the data?


Server Configuration
Using windows 2003 Server
The C Drive has system files, Apache webserver and Mysql data.
The D Drive has various programs.

Initial Raid 5 Config
3 Seagate 73 Gig harddrives

Failing Raid 5 Configuration
4 Seagate 73 Gig harddrives
