680i, RAID 0+1, and migrating

I have an evga 680i motherboard with the latest BIOS flashed. I had purchased 6 identical Seagate 320GB SATA II drives for 0+1, but one of them came with a damaged PCB, so I decided to build the array with 4 drives while the damaged one was RMA'd. That went fine and I got everything working on it.

I got the replacement drive yesterday so I plugged it and the other free drive in and started to migrate them into the array in Windows. About 20-30 minutes into the process, I got an error from MediaShield, followed by Windows locking up. I restarted and I can see "GRUB: " as it starts but there's no splash screen and after a few seconds the computer just restarts. I guess it's locking me out of the array while it migrates, though it could be a bad drive, perhaps.

The MediaShield BIOS still reports "migrating", so I guess it's working as long as the computer is on. How long can I expect this process to take? Am I supposed to be locked out of the array like this? If a drive has gone bad, is there a way to rebuild after the migration process finishes, or how would that be handled?

I only had the array up for a little more than a week but I'm still going to be kind of pissed off if I have to delete the array and install everything again. That sort of defeats the whole point of 0+1 over 0. :(
