Configuring for RAID Using the Intel Matrix Storage Manager
If you already have one hard drive with the operating system installed on it, and you want to add a second
hard drive and reconfigure both drives into a RAID volume without losing the existing operating system
and any data, you need to use the migrating option (see "Migrating to a RAID Level 0 or a RAID Level 1
Configuration" on page 119).
