FastTrak S150 TX4

Creating a Security Array with an Existing Data Drive

Under the Security setting, FastTrak S150 TX4 permits two drives to be used for
a single Mirrored array or four drives to be used for a Mirrored/Striped 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.
If you are creating a Security array using an existing hard drive,
backup any important data. Failure to do so could result in data
loss.
If you wish to include your current bootable drive using the
Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000, or Windows XP operating
system as part of a bootable Mirrored (RAID 1) array on your
FastTrak S150 TX4, do NOT connect the hard drive to the
FastTrak yet.
You MUST install the Windows NT4, 2000, or XP driver software
first to this drive while it is still attached to your existing hard
drive controller. See chapter 4 of the User Manual on the
software CD.
Follow these steps:
1. Press the Spacebar to choose Security under the Optimize Array for
section.
2. Press Ctrl-Y to Save your selection. The window below will appear.
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.
Do you want the disk image to be
duplicated to another or do quick
initialize or create only?
