Reconstructing a Drive

Use this option to manually start reconstruction of a drive ONLY when instructed to do so by Recovery Guru.

Important:

This option is available only when a drive is assigned to a RAID 1, 3, or 5 array with either a Failed status or a Replaced status, and reconstruction did not automatically start.

How to Reconstruct Drives Manually

1
Select one or more drives in the Physical View; then, select either the Drive >> Reconstruct pull-down menu option, or Reconstruct from the right-mouse pop-up menu.

Result: The Confirm Reconstruct dialog is displayed.
2
Select Yes.

Result: The Confirm Reconstruct dialog is closed and the drive starts to reconstruct. The drive icon in the Physical View changes to Optimal . The associated logical drive icons in the Logical View change to Operation in Progress during the reconstruction, then to Optimal when the reconstruction is finished.

To view the reconstruction progress, select a logical drive in the Logical View that is associated with this drive, then select Logical Drive >> Properties.
