I am having an issue where my RAID isn't being mounted on boot. I get an error that comes up saying Unable to mount media: there is probably no media in the drive. Any insight on how to fix this?


EDIT:
Here is what I get when I do a fdisk -l

[root@repositorybackup ~]# fdisk -l

/sdb is what I am trying to open and get the error

I am using a 36GB Wester Digital for the OS and 5 Seagate 1TB drives in the raid for backup storage.

not that I know, but
OS? Fedora, 6,7,8.9.10PR, 386, 64 bit?
RAID controller?
maybe MB specs?
