Question N5200- Adding disks and changing raid type

I added a 5th hard drive to the N5200. The WUI shows the drive status as OK, but the Raid check box is unticked, while the Spare check box is ticked. I want this disk to part of the Raid array (currently Raid 5), but those check boxes are greyed out - I can't change them. The first 4 disks are part of the array.

I'd also like to change the Raid type from from 5 to 10. When I go into the Migrate Raid option it only has one migrate option - Raid 5 to Raid 5 - which incidentally I tried to use to get the 5th disk as part of the array by clicking on the Migrate check box. It fails with a 'RAID creation failed[9]' message. Is it possible to migrate from raid 5 to 10 ? Do I have to delete the array and create a new one ? I have my data backed up if that is the case.

I've read the user guide but it doesn't go into detail about these scenario types.

Thanks for any help.
Mike
