Rebuild Broken RAID 1/0+1 Array

W hen booting up the system, BIOS will detect if any member disk drives of
RAID has failed or is absent. If BIOS detects any disk drive failures or missing disk
drives, the status of the array will be marked as broken.
If BIOS detects a broken RAID 1 array but there is a spare hard drive available
for rebuilding the broken array, the spare hard drive will automatically become the
mirroring drive. BIOS will show a main interface just like a duplicated RAID 1 main
interface. Continue to boot will enable duplicating the array after booting into
operating system.
If BIOS detects a broken RAID 1 or 0+1 array but there is no spare hard drive
available for rebuilding the array, BIOS will provide several operations to solve such
problem.
1. Power off and Check the Failed Drive:
This item turns off the computer and replaces the failed hard drive with a good
one. If your computer does not support APM, you must turn off your computer
manually. After replacing the hard drive, boot into BIOS and select Choose
replacement drive and rebuild to rebuild the broken array.
2. Destroy the M irroring Relationship:
This item cancels the data mirroring relationship of the broken array. For broken
RAID 1 arrays, the data on the surviving disk will remain after the destroy operation.
However, Destroy the Mirroring Relationship is not recommended because
the data on the remaining disk will be lost when the hard drive is used to create
another RAID 1 array.
