NOTE:
FastTrak 376 permits only two drives to be used for a single Mirrored array in Auto
Setup.
You would use this method if you wish to use a drive that already contains data and/or is
the bootable system drive in your system. You will need another drive of identical or
larger storage capacity.
WARNING:
1.
Backup any necessary data before proceeding. Failure to follow this accepted
PC practice could result in data loss.
2.
If you wish to include your current bootable drive using the Windows NT 4.x
or Windows 2000 operating system as part of a bootable Mirrored (RAID 1)
array on your FastTrak 376, do NOT connect the hard drive to the FastTrak 376
controller yet. You MUST install the Windows NT4 or 2000 driver software first
(see page 78) to this drive while it is still attached to your existing hard drive
controller. For all other Operating Systems, proceed here.
