Hi would be grateful for some help.......

Inherited the care of Dell T310 server with SBS 2008 and a degraded RAID 1 virtual disk - disk has stopped rebuilding at 52%.

Disks are 0:0 and 0:1 - disk 0:1 had stalled at 52% rebuilding.

If I disconnect Disk 0:1 the server will fully boot up and everything works - so Disk 0:0 contains the Boot device....

No options in Open Manage to change 0:1 to  a Hot Spare.

When I took out Disk 0:1, I cleaned it (Diskpart) and it still only rebuilt to 52% !

I have a recent back up and have also copied the drive with Aomei

I suspect that I need to delete the Virtual Array, but the warning message : "Warning! All data will be lost. Please make sure that this virtual disk does not contain your boot device! Continue with delete? " scares the life out of me.

Its also contradicted , I think, by these posts:

Sorry to waffle, in the end, Can I delete the Virtual Array or is there another solution to get past 52% ?
