Question : Swapping failed drive on Fujitsu Siemens 2003 server (std) on inbuilt RAID 1 controller

We have a single Windows 2003 server (std) and we are using the Fujitsu Siemens inbuild LSI RAID controller which we have configured as a RAID 1 mirror. Unfortunately, we have a predictive failure indicated, so we have purchased a couple of larger replacement drives, and we wish to swap them over.

The drive in question is the boot device, and whenever we have the replacement drive installed, the server will not boot. We have tried this whilest the server is UP, and we do not seem to get anywhere, ie nothing seems to happen. The server continues to operate OK, but the RAID utility will not run.

My question is, can anyone give me the procedure that we should adopt, to get the new drive installed to a point where we can re build the RAID, including the new drive?

I have re booted the server and using the ctrl - m keycombination it invokes the RAID utility. When I try to change the boot drive, we only get the option of drive 0.

I do not wish to risk any of the data, as since we have had this drive failure, we have not managed to get a clean backup.

Anyone who can give me an indication as to how we should proceed, would be very much appreciated.

Please advise.
