Sample Toshiba Recovery DVD RAID Menu

Before configuring your system for RAID-0, make sure you back up all data on your computer’s hard drives onto another storage media. When a RAID-0 array is created, all data on both your primary and secondary hard disks is erased and cannot be recovered. Toshiba is not responsible for any loss of data on your hard disks.
