How to rebuild RAID 1 array after temporary disconnecting of 1 of drives?

My machine has an SSD boot drive and 2 3TB HDDs for storage. The 3TB drives are (were) in a RAID 1 array (a software array, managed by Win7) to provide a redundant backup. I had a problem w/ the boot drive from another computer, so I temporarily disconnected 1 of the 3TB drives so I could hook up the suspect drive.

I rebooted w/ the suspect drive (which didn't work), shut the computer down, and reconnected the 3TB drive. Now when I go into Disk Management to rebuild/resync the array, all of the options that I think I need to use are grayed out.

So how do I get this back together?? Both drives still have nearly identical data on them, so I thought it would just be a matter of resyncing them.
