I have an HP Pavilion with a RAID drive setup. The drive in port 2 (which I presume to be the redundant drive) has failed. The system is operating normally, but I need to replace the drive, of course.
My question: Once I’ve installed a replacement drive, do I need to do a system restore? I’m running Windows Outlook Home Premium.
Any and all help appreciated!
Thank you!!! That’s what I needed to know. The utility does indeed show the drive as degraded, and says that I need to replace it (which of course I assumed), but it doesn’t tell me anything past that top. Force be nice if it gave me a process, no??? LOL Thanks again!
And yes – it is RAID 1 – austerely mirroring

no, no, no…..
presuming that you have RAID 1 (mirroring), you have to install the new drive, than
INITILIZE IT,
than “REBUILD THE ARRAY”
all are done WITHIN the raid utility!
when you open this utility BEFORE the new hdd is installed, it will show the status of the ARRAY as “degraded” and top out the point drive!
