The answer changes with each RAID CONTROLLER. And gets worse if there is any SOFTWARE RAID system.
But in theory on the old standard RAID controllers of old, you did nothing but remove the failed drive.

Dell told me, when buying my Alienware M17x, that Raid 1 allows one drive to survive a crash. What are the steps to use the HDD that is still healthy? My computer includes a Raid 1setup and I've had multiple blue screens of death. What are the steps necessary to now use only the healthy mirror drive, without using the corrupt drive--which was my main reason for having set up the RAID 1 drive in the first place. At set up, I first created the RAID 1 and then installed Windows 7. Does anyone know how I can take advantage of having access to a healthy drive and how to determine which drive is the healthy one.
