ok. long story short: RAID 1/10/5/50 card DPT PM2865U3 + 10 (down to 7, now using 5 to play with for simplicity's sake) will not work when I have the hard drives installed. a raid 10 array was rebuilding and the power was shut off, multiple times, not by me.
now when I start I get this even when I try to enter the card's BIOS to LLF the drives: (ignore the odd artifact on the pic, its me trying to lessen the screen glare)

someone tell me how to fix this? Ive thought of trying to use some sort of big magnet but that might erase / fubar engineering cylinder data... also ive thought of hooking them up to another SCSI card but that would require me having them... X_X the card has newest BIOS installed and the card BIOS runs fine when no drives are hooked to it...

help?
 
it won't let me X_X
the thing is, it works fine when no drives are in it. I can go in it, and change settings, play around ,everything works fine! but I never could update it, somehow I got it to update once. I followed all their instructions but it wont show the option to update still... and wouldnt last time... I fiddled with it for like days and it showed it to me once and I hit update like instantly when it did I was so happy...

the thing that gets me is it only does it when the drives are hooked to it.

Are you unable to format the drives with the RAID Controller? If so, then you will need to connect them to another controller, and low level format them.
