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 0.0 is the SATA port 1 of the motherboard.
Port 0.2 is the SATA port 2.
Port 0.1 is the SATA port 3.
Port 0.3 is the SATA port 4.
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 (RAID 0+1) function if only four SATA ports are provided.
