Initializing, Rebuilding, and Synchronizing RAID Arrays

Rebuilding a RAID Array

Rebuilding is the process of restoring data to a hard drive from other drives in the array. 
This applies only to fault tolerant arrays such as RAID 1, RAID 0+1, as well as a RAID 5.

For example, assuming you have a three disk RAID 5 array, and one of the drives fail, 
then you need to replace the failed drive with a new one, and rebuild the array to re-
generate the lost data on the newly added drive.

Rebuilding Instructions

After creating a mirrored array, you can rebuild the array using the following steps:

1 Go to Windows and run the NVIDIA MediaShield RAID Management utility. 

 shows an example of a system with one mirrored array and two free disks.
