This applies only to fault tolerant arrays such as RAID 1, RAID 0+1, as well as a RAID 5. For example, assuming you have a three disk RAID 5 array, and one of the drives fail, then you need to replace the failed drive with a new one, and rebuild the array to re-generate the lost data on the newly added drive. After creating a mirrored array, you can rebuild the array using the following steps: A. Go to Windows and run the NVIDIA RAID Management utility. B. Right-click on Mirroring. Then the popup menu appears. C. From the popup menu, click Rebuild Array. The NVIDIA Rebuild Array Wizard appears. 18
