Rebuild Disk - HP DL320 G5 with HP embedded SATA Controller.

Hardware: HP Proliant DL320 G5, Controller HP SATA embedded, 2x 2TB Hard Disk in RAID1 Array.
Software: Windows Server 2008 R2, Domain Controller, 2 Partition (C and D)

Hi everybody...
In this Server, one disk was corrupt.... I replaced the disk with a new one (2TB WD PURPLE, the old was a "TB Caviar Green) but after reboot the rebuild don't work automatically, i see on Windows a new separate disk (to format). With the boot HP SATA embedded utility i cannot assign the new disk as disk for the existing RAID but only create a new one. Then I cannot rebuild the array.

How can I resolve this problem? I make something wrong?

Support page for your server: http://h20565.www2.hp.com/portal/site/hpsc/public/psi/home?sp4ts.oid=3201178&ac.admitted=1436354028233.876444892.492883150#manuals

And it looks like HP wants you to burn the ISO image of their Offline Array Configuration Utility, boot it, and use it to set the array: http://h20564.www2.hp.com/hpsc/swd/public/detail?swItemId=MTX_3c888073127c4c65b7bd8559eb

I think that ACU offline don't work with HP embedded SATA Controller (Intel ICH7).
And with HP Storage Manager (on Windows) i can't see the logical drives.
I think is something limitated from this software.

Check in BIOS that the controller is set to RAID mode, If it didn't tell you RAID was degraded during POST then it's not in RAID mode.
