Those 127 GB drive sizes are a worry, looks like
you havent actually got 48 bit LBA enabled in 2K.

That would explain the initial loss of a drive, you wrapped
around once you wrote past the 127G limit and stomped
on the partition table at the front of the physical drive.

You appear to run the drives pretty empty, which would
explain why you have only just seen the problem now.

Hmm. What's causing that 127 GB drive size?

You havent ENABLED 48 bit LBS support in the registry.

How can I enable 48 bit LBA support in Win2000?

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;305098

You must enable the support in the Windows registry by adding or
changing the EnableBigLba registry value to 1 in the following registry
subkey:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\atapi\Parameters
To enable 48-bit LBA large-disk support in the registry: 1. Start Registry
Editor (Regedt32.exe).
2. Locate and then click the following key in the registry:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Atapi\Parameters
3. On the Edit menu, click Add Value, and then add the following
registry value:
Value name: EnableBigLba
Data type: REG_DWORD
Value data: 0x1
4. Quit Registry Editor.


I have SP4 installed, and I thought it is
supposed to be in effect, automatically. ???

Nope, that KB article clearly says that you need to
have the EnableBigLBA registry value set to 1 as well.
