Rebuilding an Array:
Rebuilding is the process of restoring data to a hard drive from other drives in the array. Rebuilding
applies only to fault-tolerant arrays such as RAID 1, RAID 10, or RAID 5 arrays. The procedures below
assume a new drive is added to replace a failed drive to rebuild a RAID 1 array.
Intel ICH10DO SATA controller:
Turn off your computer and replace the failed hard drive with a new one. Restart your computer.
Enabling Automatic Rebuild
Step 1:

manually rebuild the array in the operating system (see the next for more details).
