Hi Elvino,

Please follow the below step

- Shutdown the Pegasus unit
- Insert all the drives
- Launch the Promise utility (Unlock Pad left hand side bottom corner)

Go to the below link to download the latest version of utility.
https://promise.com/DownloadFile.aspx?DownloadFileUID=4617

- Go to physical drive tab and check if all the drives set as unconfgure if then click on setting tab and change it from passthru to unconfigure
- Now click wizard (next to Dashborad) and choose automatic it will automatically create an array with RAID5

Regards
Dev

I had to delete the array i created before it would let me create another 

it is now in a synchronization mode?...

Good, i saw that there was one Disk Array present in the Storage Overview.

Synchronization is the last step, it is building the RAID5 parity structure...
