>> If you have implemented ECC on the fly and a HD crashes<<

When my Win95 system crashed I had no access to my computer (except BIOS and A drive) I do not know what caused the problem. I believe the registry was corrupted somehow. The harddrive seems to be fine now, I do not think it was a harddrive failure. Booting from the A drive and then trying to access the C drive did not work.

If I had a second harddrive (D drive) residing in the machine with the identical setup as the first I would have been able to open the case and swap the drives and be up and running in an hour or less.

With a RAID setup I assume the system would still have crashed. Is the drive restoration process in the BIOS of the RAID card? Would I be able to swap to the mirrored drive in the BIOS as my computer would not boot?

What is ECC on the fly? Is this a RAID level? I thought ECC was a term that related to RAM.
