FastTrak TX4000 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.  

 

Backup any necessary data before proceeding. Failure to 
follow this accepted PC practice could result in data loss. 

 

 

If you wish to include your current bootable drive using the 
Windows NT 4.x, 2000, XP, Server 2003, ME or 98 
operating system as part of a bootable Mirrored (RAID 1) 
array on your FastTrak TX4000, You MUST install the 
driver software while the bootable drive is still attached to 
your existing hard drive controller. See Chapter 4. 

1. 

Assign the drives to a Mirroring array.

Gigabyte Boundary 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. 

 

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.
