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.
