I'm using the Intel chipset to manage my RAID1.
One of my drives in the raid recently failed. I didn't have the money to replace the drive, so I just kept it degraded for a couple of weeks until I could buy a replacement.
The day before I purchased my replacement drive (Same brand & capacity), my entire volume went from "degraded" to "failed". Before this, I had a BSoD that was 0x7E. I overclock my system so I simply assumed it was my memory or processor, but perhaps the RAID was the reason for the crash?
I replaced the bad drive and upon booting up, the boot screen that shows the RAID configuration said my raid was status "FAILED", and my replacement drive showed up on Port 3 as a non-raid member (The old, broken drive was at Port 3 as well).
Upon going to the Intel Matrix Storage Console, I am unable to do anything to add that drive back into my raid. The second drive in my RAID according to the console is "Missing Hard Drive".
I'm on Windows 7 x64 Ultimate. How can I add that new drive back into my RAID1?
