Creating a Security Array with Existing Data Drive
If you would like to use an existing drive that already contains data and/or is the
bootable drive in your system, make sure that the new hard drive you will use in
the array has the same or larger capacity as the existing drive.
1. In the FastBuild™ utility main menu, press <1> to select Auto Setup.
2. Use the arrow keys to go to the field Optimize Array for and select Security
using the space bar. The Mode field displays “Mirror”.
3. Press to save your selection. The following message appears:
5. Press for the Create and Duplicate option. The next window prompts you
to select the source drive to use.
6. Use the arrow keys to select the source drive. The FastBuild utility will copy all
the data from the source drive to the target drive.
7. Press to save the selection and start the duplication. The following
message appears:
Do you want the disk image to be duplicated to another? (Yes/No)
Y - Create and Duplicate
N - Create Only
Start to duplicate the image...
Do you want to continue? (Yes/No)
Y - Continue N - Abort
7. Use the FDISK utility and follow the format procedure for installing a new hard
drive. After you have formatted the arrayed drives, install an operating system
(OS).
8. Install the RAID driver from the support CD that came with the motherboard
package.
Depending on the operating system you are installing, you may need to install
the RAID driver during or after the OS installation.
Backup all important data before creating an array. Failure to do so
may cause data loss.
