In section 5-3 later, you will know the relationships between port numbers in the
MediaShield BIOS and SATA ports on the motherboard. We put their descriptions here
for better arrangement. They are :
Port 1.0 is the SATA port 1 of the motherboard.
Port 1.1 is the SATA port 2.

Two topics will be covered in the following sections :
1). Creating a Bootable Array -
Installing a new Windows XP in a brand new RAID

system.

2). Creating a Non-Bootable Array - Existing Windows XP system with new RAID

built as data storage.

Install SATA Hard Disks before we continue :
■ Shut down your computer.
■ Install SATA hard disks into the drive bays, connect all power and SATA cables.

■ Before installing the SATA hard disks, make sure to turn off the computer

and unplug the power cord from the power outlet to prevent damage to the
hardware.

■ Depending on how many SATA ports are built on your motherboard. If your

system is accompanied with a SATA DVD drive, then you may not select
Striped Mirror (RAID0+1) function if only four SATA ports are provided.
