No, you cannot remove the drive and access on another system since it's RAID 0. If you believe there is a problem with one of your hard drives, what I suggest you do is boot to your Dell drivers and utilities disc and run the Dell diagnostics on both hard drives.
As I'm sure you are well aware, when either drive fails in a RAID 0 configuration, all of your data is lost. That's why we so strongly recommend regular data backups.
Thx for the answer, problem is that the system is not booting at all, not from hdd, cd or even usb.
It seems the PC is just not starting anymore.
Led's are turning on, it gets power, fan is running, hdd starting but screen stays dark, second external screen also gets no signal.
Usually when starting up the hdd gets a lot to do, fan is blowing at max level, now it starts running and all just stops after few seconds, just like it freezes.
No, it is not booting, everything seems to start and runs for a few seconds and all stops.
Power goes on, led's turn on fan is turning, cd starts, hdd starts and all stops at the same time (screen doesn't start, fan stops, cd stops, hdd stops, lad stays on but no further activity).
Starting with the dell cd drivers (utility disk or system recovery disk) does not change anything in this behaviour.
Wow, that's not good. You definitely have a POST error of some sort. Do the lights indicate any of these portable POST codes (I think these are still applicable)?
Wat about the caps lock num lock and scroll lock leds is it glowing or flashing in any combination? When you turn on the system do you see the dell logo At least?
Thx for the tip, unfortunately after putting on the power only the numlock is constantly on (not flashing), also i cannot change it or use caps or scroll lock or even turn off the numlock.
I completely dismanteled the system and re-assembled but the result is the same...

Can you boot using your Windows or Dell drivers and utilities or any other bootable CD or DVD?
