I have a Win 2K server box that utilizes 5, 40GB drives configured in a Raid
5 array. This is maintained by the NT software raid controller, part of Win
2K.
My problem is that a drive failed, so I have no access to my 150GB's of
files. This should be easy its Raid 5, I replaced the failed drive and
created a dynamic volumn formated for the proper size (37.27GB). I was going
to delete the missing disk so I could incorporate the new disk into the raid
array. When I try to delete the missing (failed) disk, Win 2K warns that I
will lose all data on the raid array.
The help file is less than clear on the proper way to repair this broken
array. It says to break the array, I thought that was what I was doing before
being warned about losing all data.
How do I add the new disk to my array and rebuild the Raid 5 without loss of
data? This newsgroup was very hard to find, I would appreciate any help being
emailed to:

I thank you all in advance for a simple or at least step by step explanation
of how to resolve this!
