I am unable to reactivate a drive on my server. It shows
as missing. When I try to reactivate it says the
specified disk cannot be located. I recently had to re
add a drive to my raid five array. I havent been able to
put the drive back since.

Thank you in advance for any help,

If I am reading this right you had a drive failure on your Raid 5 array.
After replacing the drive it is not accessable?

Was there a Hot backup on the Raid Array if so the replacement may now be
the backup drive. 2nd has the replacement drive been put back into the Raid
controllers Bios configuration as part of the exsisting array. If so all you
should have to do would be expand the array, there shouldn't be a seperate
drive.
 
Sounds like he did it within Windows, not hardware.
Is the new disk IDE or SCSI? can you see it in the BIOS?
If so, try this: Remove the disk using Disk Manager, then rescan the system.
It should pick up the new drive.
