5-5 Setting Up a Non-Bootable RAID Array

This section assumes the following setup :
■ Boot Disk with Windows XP installed :

One hard disk HDS728080PLAT20 (80GB) is connected to the IDE channel, and set
to Master.

■ A Mirrored RAID Array Disk :

Two SATA hard disks are configured as a mirrored RAID1 array, they are :
Hitachi HDT725025VLA, (232.88GB) connected to the lower SATA port of SATA_2
of the moherboard.

Segate ST3320620AS, (298.09GB) connected to the upper SATA port of SATA_2.

■ A SATA DVD Drive :

A DVD drive connected to the lower SATA port of SATA_1.

1. Reboot your system, and go to "MCP SATA Mode" menu.

Enable the RAID function together with the SATA ports which have the hard disks

and DVD drive connected. Press [F10] to save the settings and reboot.

To achieve the best performance and reliability, we highly recommend you

using the hard disks with the same brand, size and model number. Though

we are using different brand of hard disks as an example here, the purpose

is only for easy understanding.
