Restoring a failed drive in a RAID-1 array

Restoring a failed drive in a RAID-1 array

If your computer’s primary hard disk fails the failed hard disk can be removed and replaced with the secondary hard disk that contains the mirrored data.

Contact Toshiba Global Support Centre or a Toshiba Authorized Service Provider for assistance. Removing the failed primary hard disk and replacing it with the seconary hard disk improperly could damage your computer or result in the loss of data.

NOTE

If you want to resume mirroring, you must purchase a new

 

secondary hard disk and recreate the array. For information on

 

recreating the array, see “When you first start your computer”

 

on page 260.
