iomega ix4-200r new drives issue
We have an iomega StoreCenter ix4-200r that had disks go bad one at a time, so they were replaced over the course of a year with larger drives. Long story short, the only original working drive was in slot 1, which appears to be the boot drive. I cloned the drive to new one that was the same as the other three and it boots and works, but says it needs to rebuild. When it rebuilds it wipes out the drive.
Any thoughts on how I may be able to re-image this drive or to have the RAID rebuild correctly on the larger drive? Unit is out of warranty and Lenovo wont help.

Not quite sure why you cloned the drive. If your ix4 orpx4 is configured for raid5 storage, the system would use the parity to rebuild the raid.
This is a normal function of raid. No matter what you do with the data, the system will always rebuild the raid on it.

What raid are you using and did you backup before starting the process?
