Adding Fault Tolerance to an Existing Drive
FastTrak TX4000 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.
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, 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 Ctrl-Y to Save your selection. The window below will appear.
Do you want the disk image to be duplicated to another? (Yes/No)

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.
