Adding Fault Tolerance to an Existing Drive
FastTrak TX2000 will create a mirrored array using an existing system drive with data. You
must assign the existing drive and another drive of same or larger capacity to the Mirroring
array. The BIOS will send the existing data to the new blank drive.
WARNING
: Backup any necessary data before proceeding. Failure to follow
this accepted PC practice could result in data loss.
WARNING
: 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 TX2000, do NOT connect the hard
drive to the FastTrak TX2000 controller yet. You MUST install the Windows
NT4 or 2000 driver software first (see page 30) to this drive while it is still
attached to your existing hard drive controller.
1. After assigning the drives to a Mirroring array, press <Ctrl-Y> keys to Save your selection.
The window below will appear.
Do you want the disk image to be duplicated to another? (Yes/No)
Y - Create and Duplicate
N - Create Only
NOTE:
The Gigabyte Boundary feature is automatically disabled when creating a mirrored array
(RAID 1) from an existing drive (versus using two brand new drives). This protects the existing
drive's partition table in order to maintain data integrity.
2. Press “Y” for the Create and Duplicate option. The window below will appear asking you to
select the Source drive to use. FastBuild will copy all data from the Source drive to the
Target drive.
