_--_My RAID 1 has degraded and I cannot get it running again.
I am using Intel Matrix Storage version 8.5 with ICH8R/ICH9R/ICH10R SATA RAID
I have used this RAID array for many years. A few days ago I got a SMART warning and my drive on Volume one started to fail. I swapped out the drive and replaced it with an identical drive.
On booting my computer it says the RAID is degraded in both drives. The Matrix Storage icon in the system tray says "A RAID Volume is degraded because of missing hard drives.
The Storage Manager shows Array-0000 Port 0 as having a hard drive, but under that shows a missing hard drive
The Storage Manager shows Array-0001 Port 1 as having a hard drive, but under that shows a missing hard drive as well.
Both drives are installed correctly and functioning, but I am unable to rebuild the array.
I have even tried using the "Create RAID Volume from existing hard drive" wizard but I am unable to do so because it is unable to locate my new drive.
