I've been getting a lot of failed drives lately and thought I had just bought a bad batch of drives. I put in a replacement for my parity drive tonight. I booted up and started sync and that's when I noticed my fan speed changing and the hard drives seeking at the same time. I grabbed a meter and checked my power supply just to find out that it was browning out. I hit stop sync and did a graceful power down. I replaced the power supply and now unraid is hanging during boot. I can't get a syslog, but this message repeats continuously during boot (text copyied from a different post):

If I unplug the parity drive unraid boots fine and it just shows the drive as missing. If I plug the drive back in it goes back to repeating the above. I tried to move the drive to a different SATA port and no luck. Is there a way to make unraid think this is a new drive so I can restart the parity re-build?
