FastTrak S150 TX4 User Manual

Creating a Security Array with an Existing Data Drive

Use this setting to create a Mirrored (RAID 1) array with a new hard drive and an existing drive with data and/or the bootable system drive in your system. Use a new drive of identical or larger storage capacity as the existing drive.

Warning

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.

Important

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 this Manual.

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.

Do you want the disk image to be duplicated to another or do quick initialize or create only?

Y - Create and Duplicate N - Create Only

I- Create and Quick Initialize

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.
