Converting From One RAID Configuration to Another RAID Configuration

NOTICE: In order to use the migrating option to convert a RAID configuration without losing data, your hard drive must initially be set up as a single drive RAID 0 array before the operating system is loaded onto the drive (see "Using the Nvidia MediaShield ROM Utility" on page 70 for instructions).

Nvidia MediaShield utilizes a one-step process known as migrating to change the current state of a disk or array without losing any data. If needed, additional hard drives can be added to an existing array, including a single-drive RAID 0 configuration for conversion to a two-drive RAID 0 configuration; however, the capacity of the resulting array must be equal to or greater than the size of the original configuration.

RAID 0 to RAID 1 conversions cannot be performed using the migrating process.

NOTICE: Additional hard drives to be used in the (migrated) array must be no smaller than any of the drives in the current configuration.

NOTE: Ensure that all drives to be used in the RAID configuration are RAID-enabled (see "Setting Your Computer to RAID-Enabled Mode" on page 69).
