IDE hard disk but I cannot remake the software raid pair. >> [SNIP] I know this is a real basic question, but did you fail then remove the old drive first? Hi Scott, Yes I did, but half the problem is/may be that the faulty drive is not even 'seen' by the server and so software RAID takes it out of the mirrored pairing on boot and I am pretty sure that when I 'failed' it it threw an error that the drive wasn't there anyway. I will try again and also see if I can get the drive recognised so I can 'fail' it. Thanks again for the feedback Nigel
