FastTrak TX2000™ Series User Manual

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.
