A computer running Server 2003 has had a missing 750GB Serial ATA hard drive replaced; how can I rebuild the RAID 1 array (see the screenshots)?<br />
<br />
I powered down the computer, installed the new Serial ATA hard drive and then booted back into Windows Server 2003. For the next couple hours the Intel Management console said that it was rebuilding the array.<br />
<br />
However, when I checked 12 hours later, the RAID 1 array had not been rebuilt.<br />
<br />
When I try to rebuild the array through the Intel Management Console, the array won't rebuild.<br />
<br />
Also, if I try to initialize the new hard drive through the Disk Management console, the disk won't initialize.<br />
<br />
What do I need to do to rebuild this array? There are six SATA ports on this computer's system board. Does the SATA hard drive cable need to be plugged into a different SATA port, or what else needs to be done?<br />

Windows Server 2003 was based on Windows XP and was released in four editions: Web, Standard, Enterprise and Datacenter. It also had derivative versions for clusters, storage and Microsoft’s Small Business Server. Important upgrades included integrating Internet Information Services (IIS), improvements to Active Directory (AD) and Group Policy (GP), and the migration to Automated System Recovery (ASR).

Disaster Recovery is the planning for and creation of policies and procedures related to the resumption or continuation of an organization's functions following a catastrophic event. The term is most frequently used in relation to failure of networks, but DR preparations also include other business systems and personnel considerations.

Disaster Recovery

Storage devices include any device used for storing and retrieving digital information. Hard disk drives (HDDs) use one or more rigid ("hard") rapidly rotating disks (platters) coated with magnetic material. Data is accessed in a random-access manner, meaning that individual blocks of data can be stored or retrieved in any order and not only sequentially. The primary competing technology for secondary storage is flash memory in the form of solid-state drives (SSDs), but HDDs remain the dominant medium for secondary storage due to advantages in price per bit and per-device recording capacity. CD-RW (Compact Disc-ReWritable) is a digital optical disc storage format that allows information to be stored outside the mechanical HDD.
