Rebuilding an Array: Rebuilding is the process of restoring data to a hard drive from other drives in the array. Rebuilding applies only to fault-tolerant arrays such as RAID 1, RAID 5, and RAID 10 arrays. To replace the old drive, make sure to use a new drive of equal or greater capacity. The procedures below assume a new drive is added to replace a failed drive to rebuild a RAID 1 array. While in the operating system, make sure the Chipset and RAID drivers have been installed from the motherboard driver disk. After restarting your computer, switch to Windows desktop mode.Then double-click the RAIDXpert2 icon on the desktop to launch the RAID utility. Step 1: Enter the login ID and password (default: "admin"), and then click Submit to launch AMD RAIDXpert2. Step 2: In the Disk Devices section, left-click your mouse twice on the newly-added hard drive. Step 3: On the next screen, select Assign as Global Spare and click Confirm. Step 4: When the message "A rebuild task has resumed on.." appears, click OK to continue. Step 5: During the rebuild process, you can select the array that is being built (displayed in red) in the Active Volumes section to check the current progress. Step 6: When notified that the rebuild is done, click OK to complete. - 67 - Configuring SATA Hard Drive(s)
