Windows Server 2012 storage pool question

I have been looking at Windows Server 2012's storage pools and it looks like an ideal solution for my home media center. One thing I couldn't find information on is adding a preexisting pool to a fresh server install.

I ask this given the following situation:

You install Windows Server 2012 and setup your storage pools
You add disks over time to your pool
A year later your drive with the operating system fails
You replace the bad drive and reinstall server 2012.

Now how do you add this preexisting storage pool full of data to your fresh install?
 
It will automatically find it. You will need to "online" the disks and set the virtual disks to read/write (they default to read only), but it will work. I did a clean install from 2012 RC -> RTM with no issues.
