It's worth checking both drives using the Maxtor HD diagnostic
(PowerMax) from a boot floppy. Note their comments regarding
SATA RAID though:

Powermax successfully detected my drives on the SiI3112 controller. I don't
quite understand Maxtor's warning : do they mean that PowerMax will not work
with SATA RAID controllers, or will it only not work with the SATA RAID
controllers listed ?

Anyway, the installation test was okay but not the other ones.
BUT !... (yes, there is a but), Powermax gives me an error code but does NOT
tell me what kind of error there is. I know that my drives have bad sectors, but
that should not prevent them from booting after a restart.
I did not find a document explaining powermax's error codes, does anyone know
more about that ?
Error codes where :
drive1 : deace271
drive2 : de99d17d
