4.2.4 Security Array with Quick Initialization

Use this setting to create a Mirrored (RAID 1) array with one or two existing disk drives
containing data that you do not want to keep. This method creates a mirrored array and
erases the first data block from your existing drives.
Under the Security setting in Auto Setup, FastTrak assigns two drives for a single Mirrored
array.
Choose this method if you wish to create a mirrored array with existing disk drives but you do
not want to keep the data currently on those drives.
Follow these steps:
1. Press the Spacebar to choose Security under the Optimize Array section.
2. Press Ctrl-Y to Save your selection.
3. The window below will appear.
4. Press I for the Create and Quick Initialize.
When the array is created, the screen will return to the Main Menu.
5. Press Esc to exit the FastBuild Utility.
6. Partition and format the array, using your operating system, as if it were a new single disk
drive.
7. Proceed to Step 4: Install Software Drivers on page 11 to install your operating system
and/or FastTrak driver.
Chapter 4: SATA/RAID Setup (for SATA RAID model)
Using the Quick Initialization option on existing drives will result in the
loss of all data on those drives.
