Instructions for creating a RAID 0 or Concatenated (Spanning) disk using Computer Management in

Windows Vista Business, Ultimate, or Enterprise (not supported in Vista Home)

Caution: This procedure will destroy any data currently on the drive. Before formatting a drive, save any important

data it contains.

NOTE: A Dynamic Drive RAID array must be used with the computer that created it. You cannot take the RAID ar-

ray to a different computer.

1. Configure your GT 062 3TB in JBOD mode using Glyph Manager as per previous directions.

2. Open the Windows Control Panel/Administrative Tools/Computer Management/Disk Management.

3. Right-click on the unallocated space

of either of the two GT 063 drives, and

select New Striped Volume or New

Spanned Volume.

4. On the next screen, highlight the

other disk in the left hand pane,

and click the Add button to move

the selected drive over to the right

hand pane. This tells Windows

which drives to add to the RAID

set. When both disks are selected,

click the next button.

5. On the next screen assign the next available drive letter.

6. Next, format the drive with the following settings: NTFS, Default Allocation unit size, in the Volume Label

field name your volume, then click “Perform a quick format”.

7. The next screen is a summary. Click Finish and your drive will be formatted.
