RAID1 split drives, now can't see erased HDD
I'm running RAID1 with two 1tb drives. My RAID went critical and split the drives. One drive was listed as LD 2 -1. The other is listed as <single disk>. I was able to unplug either individually and boot into windows. I decided to erase one of them and planned to rebuid the array afterwards.
At this point, I can see the erased HDD in BIOS and in RAID setup, but it will not boot to Windows with the erased drive connected. It starts to boot into Windows, then gives a brief flash of BSOD, then reboots itself. It will make it to the windows recovery screen. Using Startup Repair it finds "partition table does not have a valid system partition".
I once got it to load to windows with the erased disk plugged in (not sure what I did different) but the disk did not show up on Disk Management or Device Manager.
How do I get this recently erased disk to be recognized so I can rebuild with RAIDxpert?
