Posted May 3, 2019 Hi. Im using 2 hdds in RAID 1 (mirror) configuration in my system (win7). I recently removed one of them and added files to the remaining one without realising. I replaced the second drive but it now appears as degraded. Is it possible to update files and recover raid in its normal mirroring operation without copying everything on a new drive and setting up the raid again? Thank you mb: z97x-ud5h-bk, i think there are 2 raid drivers available, intel and something else Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted May 3, 2019 Author I added files to the drive that remained in the system, which is the same.. so yeah you are right. I thought i could get away with it.. So any suggestions on how to copy the whole 1tb hdd safe and without a million messages about hidden/missing/weird files that cannot be copied?

Posted May 3, 2019 How did you make the raid? Is this disk management raid in windows 7? motherboard raid? In disk management raid, you cna just add the drive back into the array and it will rebuild.

In the future, id upgrade to windows 10 and use storage spaces, its much better. But you can just restore the raid in the raid menu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted May 4, 2019 4 hours ago, Sh0ck83 said: you mean the bios raid menu? Yes, in the BIOS RAID menu. Pop into that, and there should be an option to rebuild the array. It'll then re-sync files from the primary HDD to the one that was removed. Depending on how their specific implementation works, you might have to wait until the sync is complete. Some RAID systems allow you to boot and it'll rebuild in the background though.
