I have a RAID 5 array with 3 drives. Recently one of the drives failed. No big deal I thought. I swapped the drive and rebooted. The bios asked me if I wanted to use the new drive, I said yes. It said it would rebuild in Windows. Makes sense. Go into Windows and the Storage Manager Console says the 2 drives are offline members. I can't figure out how to get them online. I reboot and the bios sees them as offline members as well although it clearly sees they are present. I think most of the data is backed up but it is about 7 years of home photos and videos. I'm afraid some of the videos may not have been picked up by Carbonite so I'd like to get the array rebuilt. Any clues on how to get it to see the two remaining drives as online so it can start a rebuild?
