Hi Nancy,
The slowness of the server is due to the hardware trying to compensate for
the missing/corrupt drive. It has to compute every input/output from the
disk based on the parity of the drives.
You will need to rebuild the drive using your RAID controller software.
There are consoles available that can be installed for both DELL Perc's and
Compaq Raid cards that I am aware of so that you don't have to take the
server offline to repair. Both should also have BIOS level tools that you
can boot into to rebuild the drive.
The Mac Share problem should be unrelated. If you use server manager from
another server, you may be able to re-create the Mac Volume. You may also
need to restart the services for macintosh. The following two resource kit
utilities should help.
C:\>sclist /R server-ip-address
C:\>netsvc MacFile \\server-ip-address /start
Below are the options for both commands. I found this solution on page 49
of ORA's Windows NT System Administration.
