Question : Unknown space after hot swap Raid 5

Hi All,

I am running raid 5 on PERC 5/I, PowerEdge 2950. 4 Drives. “D:”
Last week I noticed that I am missing space from my D drive. Closer examination using dell’s Open Manage revealed that one of the drives has failed. I hot swapped the drive and the array resynced itself. Now Open Manage is showing that everything is functioning correctly but I am still missing space from “D”. When I scan the drive using WinTree it shows this space as “Unknown Space”

How do I fix this without having to reconfigure the array and recover from backup?
