    Yeah I tried that too... Basically no matter what the configuration
    of drives and ports I use, once it's degraded, I cannot rebuild the
    broken drive back in.

    No, the drive isn't broken - we've used the drives afterwards with
    no problems and have run sector scans on them..

    Thanks Karl,
    Adrian.
