5-1.2 Creating Security Array With Existing Data Drive

FastTrak 376 on board permits only two drives to be used for a single
Mirroring (Security) array with FastBuild Utility.
Checkpoints before creating a Security Array:
(1) You may use a drive that is containing data or a bootable O/S.
Then you will need another new drive of identical or larger
storage capacity.
(2) Backup any necessary data before proceeding. Failure to follow
this accepted PC practice could result in data loss.
(3) If you wish to include your current bootable drive holding Window
NT 4.x or Windows 2000 O/S as part of a bootable Mirroring (
RAID 1 ) array on your FastTrak 376 controller , you SHOULD
first install the Windows NT4 or 2000 driver software to this drive
while it is still attached to your system hard drive controller (e.g.
IDE1/IDE2). For all other Operating Systems except Win NT4.0
and 2000, you can proceed with your hard driver(s) connected
to IDE3/SATA1/SATA2.
1. Boot your system with FastTrak 376 Controller enabled in BIOS
your hard drive(s) connected to IDE3/SATA1/SATA2. Suppose this
is the first time to create a Disk Array. The Promise BIOS on board
with FastBuild Utility built in will scan the IDE devices and display
the result as below:
FastTrak 376 (tm) BIOS Version 1.xx

Press <Ctrl-F> to enter FastBuild (tm) Utility or
Press <ESC> key to continue booting .........
2. Press <Ctrl-F> keys to display the FastBuild (tm) Utility Main Menu.
