I have an Apple RAID 1 and one of the disks apparently failed. I'm trying to convert the RAID to SoftRAID to add a new HDD to the RAID but nothing happens. What can I do to solve this problem?

Thanks!

We cannot convert an Apple RAID volume with missing disks.

Initialize a disk with SoftRAID.
Create a volume on it.
Move your data over (SuperDuper works if this is a system volume)
If this is a boot volume:
Then run SoftRAID
Rebuild Boot cache on this cloned volume
Restart to the new volume

Now you can initiailze the Apple disk with SoftRAID
Convert to Mirror.
