Rebuild Broken RAID 0/0+1 array
When booting up the system, BIOS will detect if any member disk drives of RAID has failed or is absent. If BIOS detects any disk
drive failures or missing disk drives, the status of the array will be marked as broken.
If BIOS detects a broken RAID 1 array but there is a spare hard drive available for rebuilding the broken array, the spare hard
drive will automatically become the mirroring drive. BIOS will show a main interface just like a duplicated RAID 1 main interface.
Continue to boot will enable duplicating the array after booting into operating system.
If BIOS detects a broken RAID 1 or 0+1 array but there is no spare hard drive available for rebuilding the array, BIOS will provide
several operations to solve such problem.
1. Power off and check the failed drive
This item turns off the computer and replaces the failed hard drive with a good one. If your computer does not support APM,
you must turn off your computer manually. After replacing the hard drive, boot into BIOS and select Choose replacement
drive and rebuild to rebuild the broken array.
