ICH10R RAID 5 Rebuild Issue

Hi,

I have a RAID 5 array (1 volume) with 6 x 1.5TB disks. One of these disks failed 2 weeks ago. I have received a replacement, installed this. The Intel Matrix Storage Manager has detected this and attempted to rebuild the array/volume. However, just after the progress bar reaches 26%, it resets to 0%. It has done this many many times already.

I'm running on Windows Server 2008 R2. I have also installed XP on a spare hard drive and run from this to see if that was the issue, however it is exactly the same. I have tried the following versions of the software:

IMSM 8.8

IMSM 8.9

IRST 9.5 (This is what i used to rebuild the array first)

There are no errors on the hard drives (checked these with Seatools).

I'm currently copying all my data to other hard drives in my household, however i don't have enough space to hold anything so i would rather like to recover this volume if possible

Any help would be very must appreciated

Seatools as good as it is and all is not perfect zero (low level) the drive (not part of your RAID) or SpinRite allows the drive to check every bit.

Other list of things it could be:

PSU

ICH10R running hot

Bad power and SATA cable.
