Chapter 2: Getting Started
Adding Fault Tolerance to an Existing Drive
FastTrak S150 TX4 will create a mirrored array using an existing system drive with data. You must assign the existing drive and another drive of same or larger capacity to the Mirroring array. The BIOS will send the existing data to the new blank drive.
Warning
Backup any necessary data before proceeding. Failure to follow this accepted PC practice could result in data loss.
Important
If you wish to include your current bootable drive using the Windows NT 4.0, 2000 or XP operating system as part of a bootable Mirrored (RAID 1) array on your FastTrak S150 TX4, You MUST install the driver software while the bootable drive is still attached to your existing hard drive controller. See Chapter 4.
1.Assign the drives to a Mirroring array.
2.Press
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 Initiate
Note
Gigabyte Boundary is automatically disabled when creating a mirrored array (RAID 1) from an existing drive (versus using two brand new drives). This protects the existing drive’s partition table in order to maintain data integrity.
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.
