4. Use the arrow keys to choose which drive contains the existing data to be copied. If you
have two identical hard drives, determine which hard drive contains existing data via
channel ID (Channel 1 or 2). These are concurrent with the physical ports on the WD
SATA RAID Controller that the hard drives are connected to. Port 1 = Channel 1 and
Port 2 = Channel 2 (see step 6 under "Installing the Serial ATA RAID Controller" on
page 8).
5. Press + to save selection and start duplication. The following progress screen will
CTRL Y
appear.

6. Select Y to continue. If you choose N, you will be returned to step 1.
7. Once complete, the following screen will appear confirming that your Security array has
been created. Press any key to reboot the system.
Array has been created.
<Press Any Key to Reboot>
The computer should now boot to the operating system on the source drive (now duplicated
to the target drive). The source drive will have no visible changes other than in Device
Manager where the drive will be listed as the new array instead of a single drive model.
Note: Disk duplication may take up to several hours depending on how much data will be
copied to the target drive. For example, 120 GB of data will take an average of one to two
hours to be duplicated in a newer computer system.
