Joe, a technician, recently built a new gaming PC for Ann, a customer, with two hard drives configured in RAID 0. Ann calls and states she was playing a game online and the computer shut off. Now the computer will not boot. Which of the following is a cost effective way to correct the issue?

Question

Accepted Answer

B. Reformat both drives and reload windows RAID 0 stripes data across drives without any parity or mirroring, meaning data loss or corruption affects the entire array simultaneously. Since there is no way to rebuild or recover a failed RAID 0 array without reformatting, wiping both drives and reinstalling Windows restores a functional system at no hardware cost, making it the most economical solution when the drives themselves are still physically functional.

Answer

A. Remove both drives from the RAID array Removing the drives from the array without reformatting does not fix the corrupted or lost data that caused the boot failure.

Answer

C. Replace both of the drives and load windows Replacing both drives is expensive and unnecessary if the existing drives are physically healthy - a software/data issue does not require new hardware.

Answer

D. Replace one of the drives and rebuild the array RAID 0 has no parity and cannot be rebuilt by replacing a single drive; rebuilding is only possible with RAID levels that include redundancy such as RAID 1 or RAID 5.
