Due to the way the MSS is designed you can not use Spinrite on the MSS directly, you have to power off the server then take the hard drives and put them in a computer that has the correct adaptors (no point putting it in a old IDE when it is ATA). Run SpinRite from the computer, depending on the size of harddrive and the level you set SpinRite this can take some time. After SpinRite has completed and repaired any errors you remove the harddrives from the pc and put them back into you MSS.
