RAID is not a backup method. At best you use RAID besides your actual backup scheme. RAID is a measure to improve reliability of the system (if a drive fails I just swap it and the system keeps running). In doing so indeed it makes backups slightly less necessary, but still.

It was the thread-starter who blaimed the OS, not me.

Ginsu Victim:
I never blamed the OS for hardware failure. I blamed it for being retarded and doing something it wasn't supposed to. The hardware failure was totally unrelated.

Zero_Hour:
This is an easy mistake to make, especially when installing when you have both IDE and SATA  hard drives. I learned it the hard way too, but I actually have the luxury of multiple machines with multiple backups so all I lost was the time it took me to restore my data. Glad you got most of your data back - that will definitely take some of the sting away.

Ginsu Victim:
Yeah, it doesn't hurt as much now.
