4. Check that the hard disk to be converted is the hard disk where the system is installed and click [Convert].
If the selected hard disk contains a system partition, you will have to restart the computer to complete the
upgrade of the hard disk. The message also states that file systems on any of the hard disks to be upgraded will
be forcedly dismounted. This means if any file systems are in use at the time of upgrade, they will be
dismounted, so that the upgrade can continue.
5. After the system has restarted, display [Disk Management] again and set the hard disks for creating mirror
volume.
IMPORTANT:
When the hard disk status is "Not Initialized", right-click that hard disk and initialize it.
If "Foreign" is displayed, perform "Convert to Basic Disk" and then perform "Convert to Dynamic
Disk..."
Hard disks to be mirrored must be inserted to the corresponding slots. Make them in pairs (Slot0 and Slot3/
Slot1 and Slot4/ Slot2 and Slot5). For the details, see [DISK OPERATIONS] in the separate User Guide.
6. If the inserted hard disk is not a dynamic disk, right-click the disk and perform "Convert to Dynamic Disk".
