FastTrak100 TX/LP™ Series User Manual

Adding Fault Tolerance to an Existing Drive

FastTrak100 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 FastTrak100, do NOT connect the hard drive to

the FastTrak100 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.
