Solve : Replace Drive in RAID 5? |
|
Answer» Working on an xp machine with 3 hd's in a raid 5 CONFIG. I'm replacing the hd in slot 1 (there are four slots, the 4th ONE is empty). I thought all I had to do is remove the bad drive in slot 1, INSERT the new drive, and it would automatically configure. I can GET into the raid config window but not sure what to do. Does the new drive need to be formatted first? Any suggestions?Quote I thought all I had to do is remove the bad drive in slot 1, insert the new drive, and it would automatically configure. Yes, that is what I thought too. What system are you using?ASUS P5VDC-MX mobo, Intel chipset, Promise FastTrak TX4310 SATA RAID controller.How do you know that it didn't automatically configure it. It says on the manual "supports hot-swap of failed drives" and "rebuilds drive in background"Shows up with a "critical error." Three 500GB HDs: two original drives show up as one 1TB drive and the new HD shows up separately as a 500GB. |
