The only SeaTools tests I am able to run are both short and long generic tests on these 2 Seagate SATA 250 gig drives that I have in an enclosure together. These two were a striped set which I originally set up with computer management. I’ve had them running just fine (I would have to reactivate them if windows was running but would work fine from there) until I ended up unplugging one of the cables and not the other and has started this whole set of errors now.

Here is what errors I get when I try to fix the problem w/ computer management:

Plug in

Disk group GriswoldpcDg0: Disabled by errors
Volume Stripe1-01: Plex Stripe1: Plex is defined on a bad device

reactivate one:

Volume Stripe1-01: Plex Stripe1: Plex is defined on a bad device
Cannot be used to start volume
Cannot start Stripe1 volume, no valid plexes
Disk Disk1 in group GriswoldpcDg0: Disk device not found

attempt to reactivate the other:

INTERNAL Error - A disk group with the specified name already exists
(C100007A).

attempt to reactivate the "missing" drive:

no error just warning to run chkdsk after

unplugging & replugging the un reactivated drive:

no error, but now is considered foreign

importing the foreign drive:

INTERNAL Error - The disk group contains no valid configuration copies
(C10000B6).
Unspecified error (80004005).


And here are the properties of each drive (even though there are only 2 drives):

online dynamic 1: Bus Number 0, Target ID 0, LUN 0
offline or foreign dynamic 2: Bus Number 1, Target ID 0, LUN 0
missing dynamic 2: Port -1, Target ID -1, LUN -1


I have also tried deleting the registry key "primary disk group.reg" which did refer to GriswoldpcDg0 and I have also tried deleting all ghost drives that are present in hardware manager so windows reinstalled the drivers when I plugged them in. So far nothing has worked.
