Default Raid 1 problems

I have to two 2gb drives in a software Raid 1 configuration. Disk
Management is currently showing them as 'Failed Redundance'. I have tried a
couple of different times to reactivate the Raid, but no change. I am
assuming one of the drives has a problem, but how do I determine which one?
When I use Specy or HWInfo to look at the SMART data both look fine. What
should be my next step?
I do have a new 2gb drive available. Should I add it to the Raid then drop
one of the two original drives and see what happens?

Hi Tim,

I always use the RST(e) raid that comes with Intel chipsets.
The Intel utility will let you know who done it and will assist
you in a rebuild.

Are you using Windows RAID?

SMART is a nice feature, but does not always tell you what is
wrong with a drive.

I am using Windows RAID. I am not prepared to spend the money to set up a
hardware RAID environment, especially since if part of it fails I would be
SOL until it was replaced, and running the risk of the hardware not being
compatable with future operating systems.

I am assuming you mean for a cpu. I am running an AMD A10-5800K. I know,
OLD! But it does what I want, and I'm not in a position to buy a new cpu,
motherboard, and memory right now.

Actually I did mean the chipset. But if you are running an AMD
that also answers my question. You do not have RST raid on your
motherboard as that only works on Intel based motherboards.

Anyway, I have never done classic Windows raid. You may wish
to search (bar) for ‘Manage Storage Spaces’ and see if anything
useful pops up.
