Raid collapsed on supermicro x8sia-f how to be what to do?

Question

System administration

Lord, I ask for help for the first time I found myself in such a situation.
I had a server with exchange based on supermicro x8sia-f on the same site. Today, after updating Windows 2008r2 and a shaky reboot, it did not start. The machine freezes on loading Windows (a stripe runs). Trying to enter any safe mode option is useless. Judging by the text, when trying to enter safe mode, it hangs on loading drivers (Stuck on "classpnp.sys".). I tried to boot from the Windows installation disk, as soon as you slip the controller's raid drivers into it - the installer, or fixing errors, hangs tightly. Checked the status of disks in raid - everything is OK. The raid itself has a Verify status.
Questions: Verify - in this situation, it's supposedly check the raid? (But how the hell can I check it, this software doesn't have a raid check, I read the dock on the motherboard, and in it about working with the controller) Or the ongoing process - Verifing? if so, does it make sense to wait until the end of the process?
How to pull information from the raid now? Most of all the bases of Exchange interest. There are no backups. The management did not bring money for backups.
Paniko. Night. Pain.
Bottom line: I pulled out the disks, brought them to the head office, and hooked them up to another server to a more modern and smart Adaptec controller. He joyfully identified the raid, said that he supposedly felt bad for him and would have done a rebuild, but allowed him to read it. Backups made. The array has been rebuilt. A colleague took the discs back and claims that it even started.
PS The strangest thing is that when trying to load the adaptec driver of the supermicro controller under any OS while the array was in the Verify state, the system hung tightly.

Answer 1

You didn't specify the RAID type, which is very important.
I propose an article for review - for a general understanding
rlab.ru/doc/raid_recovery.html
And as Anton said above , boot from liveCD it will become clearer how things are going

Answer 2

well, if you have Windows loaded, then the data is intact, provided that Windows is on the raid itself. Verify - This is the status of checking your raid for integrity, usually when there are changes to the raid, such as disconnecting, then connecting a disk leads to Verify. What is your RAID level?

Answer 3

Why are you in pain and panic? The bosses don’t give money for backup, so let him start from scratch, he doesn’t need business correspondence))
