Creating a Security Array with an Existing Data Drive 

Under the Security setting, FastTrak S150 TX4 permits two drives to be used for 
a single Mirrored array or four drives to be used for a Mirrored/Striped 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 

 

If you are creating a Security array using an existing hard drive, 
backup any important data. Failure to do so could result in data 
loss. 

 

Important 

 

If you wish to include your current bootable drive using the 
Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000, or Windows XP operating 
system as part of a bootable Mirrored (RAID 1) array on your 
FastTrak S150 TX4, do NOT connect the hard drive to the 
FastTrak yet. 
You MUST install the Windows NT4, 2000, or XP driver software 
first to this drive while it is still attached to your existing hard 
drive controller. See chapter 4 of the 

User Manual

 on the 

software CD. 

 

Follow these steps: 

1.  Press the Spacebar to choose 

Security

 under the Optimize Array for 

section.   

2.  Press Ctrl-Y to Save your selection. The window below will appear.  

 

Do you want the disk image to be 
duplicated to another or do quick 
initialize or create only?  
Y - Create and Duplicate 
N - Create Only 
I  - Create and Quick Initialize 

 

3.  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.
