Is the new drive set as MASTER.

Linux will normally detect the drives where the bios does or does not.

When you go into the Storage and looks for the HD it does not show up. You will need to tell it to rebuild the array. It will not do it automatically, it will only copy the OS to a RAID1 partition.

Mixing MFG's and sizes causes problems as Phoenix has already said.
