Did you use the same snap drive to copy the boot sectors to both drives? You should have a space between "10000 /renit"

The snap remembers the configuration of the drives. The reason it is showing a broken mirror.

There is a 10000 provided they are both set as MASTER. When you do the upgrades your doing. Get the first (TOP) up and working before adding the second drive.

Try the second drive (10010) and see it returns any errors. Verify the jumpers are set correctly, if so. Remove the drive ( should be top) and zero out the MBR. Reset jumpers, Re install. You only need one drive with the OS. It will auto format and transfer. If the second drive is formated to full capacity, so will the 1st one when installed if clean. The snap will not re-format (touch) a drive if it's reconizes the file structrure. The reason the drive must be clean. Seatools has a utility for a quick erase (MBR), that is all it needs.

Actually since you were in raid1, it would have been simpler letting the snap transfer the OS. All you needed to do was install 1 drive. the snap would have init and copied the os. The repalce the second one.
