Raid 5 volume was build from 4 SATA drives on Intel D955XBK mobo.

Now 3 of the drives are marked as "Offline Member".

Is there any way to force raid 5 controller to clear marks "Offline
Member" from supposedly valid disks to try restoring raid 5 volume from
current disks content.

Is there any applicable procedure or/and utility. Thanks.

Hey Val - Not sure if you got this resolved yet, but I just had the
same issue. I have the Intel D945PVS MB w/ 4 WD4000KD in a Raid 5.
Drive 0 failed and on reboot all drives showed as Offline Member(s). I
finally got a tech at Intel that suggested disconnecting the data cable
on the bad drive and that fixed the problem.
