Turn XRAID on (there should be a green stripe on the XRAID control if it is already on).

 

You might need to click on the red drive and then click format.

The XRAID does have a green stripe on it. If I click format on the red drive #2, will the NAS keep functioning, will it format and then sync? I am not familiar with what will happen and I don't want to wreck all the work I just did copying everything. I did not realize it wasn't turned on, simply being a newb and all.

    Yes - if the drive is the same size (or larger) than drive 1.
