All RAID rebuilding can be done from the BIOS on the adaptec RAID controller as one option, BUT this required you to bring the system down and then wait for the rebuild to complete before booting again. You can also set up the adaptec controller to see the new, working - replaced drive as a hot spare and usually set up the controller to do an automatic rebuild. This would allow the rebuild to take place after the system re-booted. You don't mention what adaptec controller you have??
