Rebuilding an Array:
Rebuilding is the process of restoring data to a hard drive from other drives in the array. Rebuilding
applies only to fault-tolerant arrays such as RAID 1, RAID 10, or RAID 5 arrays. The procedures below
assume a new drive is added to replace a failed drive to rebuild a RAID 1 array.
Intel ICH10DO SATA controller:
Turn off your computer and replace the failed hard drive with a new one. Restart your computer.
Enabling Automatic Rebuild
Step 1:
When the message "Press <Ctrl-I> to enter Configuration Utility" appears, press <Ctrl> + <I> to enter the

Volumes with "Rebuild" status will be rebuilt within the operating system.
Step 2:
Select the new hard drive to add into the array to be rebuilt and press <Enter>. The following screen
appears, indicating that an automatic rebuild will be performed automatically after you enter the
operating system (look for the Intel Storage Console icon in the notification area, which will show
that a RAID volume is being rebuilt). If you do not enable automatic rebuild on this stage, you have to
manually rebuild the array in the operating system (see the next for more details).
