Try Pressing CTRL+I when prompted to during boot up.
This loads the Intel Raid firmware. It should detect the degraded array and the new drive and prompt you to rebuild. Use the arrow keys to highlight the drive and hit the Enter key. You will be brought back out the main Raid firmware screen and your raid 1 should say Rebuild for it's status instead of degraded. This does not mean it is rebuilding right now, it's scheduled for the next time you boot up so simply hit the Esc key and answer Y to begin. Depending ion the size of your drive this could take a very long time; let it finish!!
If your drive isn't listed as a Raid drive in the intel raid firmware then you'll need to let us know how you created the Array in the first place.
Hi popatim,
"How was the RAID 1 created?"
Some years ago, using standard procedures. RAID enabled in the BIOS, each drive marked for recognition in the BIOS as well.
RAID 1 has been in place and working well since then.
I am familiar with the Intel software but am not able to find the commands you identify nor am I able to select a disk!
I want to add a picture here but see no options to be able to do that!
So, my options are:
1/ Create RAID volume
2/ Delete RAID volume
3/ Reset disks to non-RAID
4/. Recovery volume options
5/ Exit
And the option 4/ offers:
1/ Enable only recovery disk
2/. Enable only master disk
In the Ctrl I screen it is not possible to get out of this block of five options and into the block which holds the disk's status, therefore I am unable to select a disk.
How can I add a picture? The seemingly simple 'Add a picture' icon just asks for an http:// url
Regards
Chris
