Recently added a new disk, I have a RAID1 setup, I turned off auto rebuild and set it off manually, but it keeps restarting.
cat /proc/mdstat:
Personalities : [linear] [raid0] [raid1]
md0 : active raid1 sda2[1] sdb2[2]
974133312 blocks [2/1] [_U]
[>....................] recovery = 0.9% (9664192/974133312) finish=1587.4min speed=10124K/sec
unused devices: <none>
But as this 'recovery' has restarted a few times, is it really working, or do I have to add the disk manually and then recover?
I have just noticed that after a reboot the disks are blue, they were pink before, is it really working this time?

Maybe I'm mistaken, but earlier today I saw a post very similar to this, but it included some detail missing from this one - the fact that the array had been "manipulated" in a somewhat unothodox manner.
Now, if I'm right, and that was your post - it might help the folks you're asking to help you, understand how you got into your present predicament, if you gave them the rest of the details - and if I'm wrong - please accept my apologies for butting in.
In a nutshell though - I'd say removing the RAID disks from the unit and formatting a single disk, by itself, destroyed the RAID array and it's not going to rebuild without some additional manipulation, but this time with mdadm to recreate the array.

Thanks all for replying.
You are correct fordem, I did post earlier but had only 3 views, so I rewrote the post.
I had 2 Hitachi Deathstars, and configured RAID 1, one died, so I replaced with another disk. After reading the problems people had with the auto rebuild I thought it best to disable it. I thought I had read that it was best to remove the existing disk and format the new one alone, so that's what I did.
I then put my old working disk back in and moved the new disk to slot 2.
That was yesterday, it now just seems to be constantly restarting the recovery, but the difference today (following a reboot) seems to be that the drive lights are blue.
I'm not convinced that all is well and that the recovery is working, it restarted several times yesterday, for a start should 'cat /proc/mdstat' still be reporting [_U] if it is recovering?
