I have a dell poweredge 2900. There is a perc5 controller with a raid 5 configured. The raid consists of 4 hard drives. The operating system on the machine is windows 7. One hard drive (slot 2) has gone out and the raid is running on 3 drives. When i go in the BIOS configuration utility it shows discs 0,1,3 and where drive 2 is it says "missing". This is shown when I click on physical discs under the virtual disc. I can see the new drive in the BIOS where it says "controller" above the virtual disc selection but i dont know how to assign it back to the the physical disc slot where its "missing". Is it something i can even do in the Integrated BIOS configuration utility settings or do i need raid software in windows to get the raid to accept the replaced drive and rebuild? When i put windows 7 on, i never installed any dell raid software. I simply built the raid in the BIOS utility. Please let me know!!!
