So my server has a raid array Logical Drive 1 showing critical status so i go to view what it is.
one of the 2 drives shows up as missing (see photo below)
I cant find a way to get the drive back into the array
when i view the unassigned drives the drive that is missing is there (see photo below)

I also have megaraid installed on the pc and would be willing to move it to a software raid. but would need help doing so
i am also open to somehow getting the drive back on to the existing array

I can not lose data on the disks
so i cannot delete or recreate the array

It will not allow it. I have tried. won't let me configure hot swappable spares or anything like that. the second drive was there to begin with as you can see in the photo it sees it, but it will not allow me to add the disk to the array as a unconfigured good or anything like that.

I do have the server backed up i was going to just nuke the drive array and pop in a couple disks and restore through windows server backup, but avoiding that would have been ideal
