 I am working on a computer that has one internal SCSI hard drive and two
external hard drives (SCSI). The internal drive has two partitions- one FAT
and one NTFS. (The OS resides on the FAT partition.) The two external drives
were set up in striped sets, with three NTFS partitions (to clarify striped
sets, each drive was partitioned in exactly the same way, and the partitions
worked in sync across the drives, so that drive letter G, for example,
consisted of the first partition on each drive).
 The problem is, NT recently had to be reinstalled. It detected the
internal drive, along with its two partitions and file systems,  and also
detected the external drives, but although it knew the size of the
partitions on each drive, it couldn't detect that they were NTFS, much less
striped sets. Is there any way to set these drives up as striped sets again,
without losing the data on them?

TIA,

Michelle
