RAID Function
2-2-3
Creating a Security Array With An Existing Data Drive
NOTE: RAID Function permits only two drives to be used for a single
Mirrored array in Auto Setup.
You would use this method if you wish to use a drive that already contains
data and/or is the bootable system drive in your system. You will need
another drive of identical or larger storage capacity.
WARNING: Backup any necessary data before proceeding.
Failure to follow this accepted PC practice could result in
data loss.
WARNING: If you wish to include your current bootable
drive using the Windows NT 4., Windows 2000 or Windows
XP operating system as part of a bootable Mirrored (RAID 1)
array, do NOT connect the hard drive to the ATA133 RAID connectors
yet. You MUST install the Windows NT4 or 2000 driver software first
(see page 20) to this drive while it is still attached to your existing hard
drive controller. For all other Operating Systems, proceed here.
Follow these steps:
1.
Using the Spacebar, choose "Security" under the Optimize Array for
section.
2.
Press <Ctrl-Y> keys to Save your selection. The window below will
appear.
Do you want the disk image to be duplicated to another? (Yes/No)
Y - Create and Duplicate
N - Create Only
3.
Press "Y" for the Create and Duplicate option. The window below will
appear asking you to select the Source drive to use. FastBuild will copy
all data from the Source drive to the Target drive.
