Need help restoring RAID volume
I have been working for a number of years with a Raid 1 volume, using two identical 1 TB hard drives. Recently one of the hard drives failed and as the capacity of 1 TB had almost been used I purchased two identical 4 TB drives. I rebuilt the Raid volume successfully from the one remaining good drive. At first the raid volume showed only a capacity of 953 GB, I was able to extend that to 1.7 TB. I have been unable to extend the raid volume to the full 3815 GB which the two drives have. In addition I am getting error 0xC8000247 which apparently is due to an outdated Raid driver. I have tried many times to download an updated driver from the Intel download site, but I am getting continuously an error message that this site is unavailable. I have included below a system report.
I would very much appreciate help with restoring the full capacity of the raid volume and with the eradication of the error message 0xC8000247 which is associated with a “not genuine Windows 7” message. I am running genuine Windows 7 and have a key for that, but cannot run the Windows update.
Many thanks in advance!
