FastTrak TX4000 User Manual

Creating a Security Array with an Existing Data Drive

Under the Security setting, FastTrak TX4000 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.

Warning

If creating a Security array using an existing hard drive, backup any necessary data. Failure to follow this accepted PC practice could result in data loss.

Warning

If you wish to include your current bootable drive using the Windows NT 4.x, 2000, XP, Server 2003, ME or 98 operating system as part of a bootable Mirrored (RAID 1) array on your FastTrak TX4000, do NOT connect the hard drive to the FastTrak TX4000 controller yet.

You MUST install the Windows NT 4.x, 2000, XP, Server 2003, ME or 98 driver software first (see Chapter 4) to this drive while it is still attached to your existing hard drive controller.

Follow these steps:

1.Using the Spacebar, 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? (Yes/No) Y - Create and Duplicate

N - Create Only

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.
