About the Hardware Components
When you install the Windows 7, Express Setup requires several preparations if this computer uses
the following hardware components.
Installing on the Mirrored Volume
If you want to install the OS on a volume that is mirrored using Disk Management, invalidate the
mirroring and reset to the basic disk before the installation, and validate the mirroring again after the
installation.
You can create, invalidate, or delete the mirror volume by using Disk Management in Computer
Management.
Mounting MO Device
Do not mount an MO device on this computer during the Windows installation.
About Removable Media
Do not set removable media, such as DAT, into the device mounted on this computer during the
Windows installation.
Re-installing to the hard disk drive which has been upgraded to Dynamic
Disk
You cannot re-install Windows 7 with the current partition of the hard disk drive upgraded to
Dynamic Disk kept remained.
If you want to keep the current partition remained, see Appendix D to re-install the system.
About RAID configuration
If you use the on-board RAID controller (LSI Embedded MegaRAID

), create a new RAID by the
RAID configuration utility "LSI Software RAID Setup Utility" beforehand.
If you skip this process, the system can not boot from the optical disk drive.
