A. Because of the proprietary nature of partition maps on a RAID volume, some disk fixing utilities (such as Norton Utilities) may inform you of a partition map problem if the partition map does not look logical during its scanning process. What ever you do – DO NOT REPAIR THE PARTITION(S). Doing so will result in TOTAL DATA LOSS ON ALL VOLUMES CONTAINED ON THE ENTIRE RAID GROUP. Basically, the only functions/features of disk fixing programs that are currently known to create a problem with RAIDed drives are functions/features that recreate or otherwise modify a partition map. All other functions/features are safe to perform.
