Hi,
i cannot re-add the 3rd drive to my raid 5 volume after a crash. im very sad about it because i need data-redundancy (important data -.- cant afford to lose it)
Mainboard: GA-P35C-DS3R (ICH9R-chipset)
Storage: 3x SAMSUNG HD501LJ (500GB) @ RAID 5
the intel matrix storage manager gives me the following error when i klick "rebuild on selected drive":
Rebuild RAID Volume Wizard
The volume cannot be rebuilt to the selected hard drive due to one of the following reasons:
- The hard drive contains system files or is the system hard drive
- The hard drive is not large enough to be used for the rebuild action
- The hard drive has reported a SMART event
- The hard drive has reported a failure
to solve the problem...
- i did a lowlevel format on the "not anymore accepted drive" -> no systemdata etc on that drive -> NOT MY PROBLEM
- i checked the size: the "not anymore accepted drive" was in that array before the crash -> if it has not changed its size (and i realy belief that it did not), it cant be to small -> NOT MY PROBLEM
- i checked the SMART-status with speedFan -> all ok, no errors, no warnings -> NOT MY PROBLEM
- checked the raidBIOS -> drive is in "Non-Raid-Mode" and no errors or warnings at all -> NOT MY PROBLEM
so, what is the problem? i dont know what to do... plz help... *cry* :/
thanks in advice,
