Well thanks for everyone's help so far, however the saga continues. I did the 200 miles trip today to our cinema armed with a 2nd Hand identical Hitachi drive, which I had tested and then wiped the MBR and also an brand new Western Digital Doremi approved 1TB drive. I also took new SATA leads.
I swapped out the leads, booted the server, no change.
I followed the Doremi "repair" process which takes drive "B" out of service, swapped the disk, let it mount that drive and it said "The disc replacement has been successful - The raid is rebuilding" and a green tick
However when you go back to the diagnostic tools, the Raid says it is degraded and no drive info comes up, nor does it say rebuilding raid and a % done Then I tried removing the Hitachi and swapping for a Doremi approved Western Digital BRAND NEW sealed 1TB drive and did the same process and again it said successful however it did't actually rebuild the raid again.
I looked in the Bios and also did a detailed report which i uploaded to Doremi and received the report back. It did claim it could see either of the new discs with correct serial numbers. However in diagnostic tools a yellow dot and degraded Raid status.
After all that went into drive manage and it said the drive "B" operation not permitted - Device already disabled
I have a photo (not too clear of the screens if that helps

Sorry that was a long one. I'm a bit stuck now.
Just out of interest, could I power off the server and fit three brand new matching drives, reboot and try build a raid to see if it can do that. Then if that didn't work simply power down and put the three original drives back in and be back where I was; or would it need to re-register the old drive, so to speak, thus possibly rendering them useless.
Sorry that was a long Post, but any help would be appreciated.
