[SOLVED] Promise Fast Track RAID some basic info/help needed

Thresher · 08-27-2007, 07:55 PM

Aloha!

If I delete an array, upon rebuilding that array am I given the choice as to which hard drive is the one that I want to copy and use as the master of the rebuilding process? The current array is a mirrored array, RAID 1.

Here is why I ask: I was having an OS problem upon boot, I took one of the hard drives off the Promise RAID IDE controller card and directly connected it to the MOBO. I did a few diagnostics within Windows and stupidly I did a scandsk and somehow messed things up. Now I don't know how to get the second drive back into the system and to be a duplicate of the only good hard drive remaining.

One last newb question:
Can deleting RAID 1 arrays screw up my data or partitions in anyway?

I figured it out by reading the instruction manual at Promises website.
