How to set up a RAID1 mirror with a drive which already has Windows installed

Page 4 of 10

r Boot your server and watch out for Press <Ctrl><A> for Adaptec RAID

Configuration Utility. When the message appears, press Ctrl+A to go into your

Adaptec controller BIOS (also called the “Configuration Utility”). Keep pressing

Ctrl+A until you get a message confirming that “Ctrl+A was pressed”.

r Once inside your Adaptec controller’s BIOS, choose Disk Utilities.

r Inside Disk Utilities check that both your hard disks are showing properly, and

make sure they show up as SATA-II (SATA-2) just in case your hard disks have

jumpers which configure them as SATA-1 (SATA-2 shows up as 3.0Gb/s

transfer speed).

r Escape back to the Main Menu.

r This time choose Array Configuration Utilities.

r Next, choose Configure Drives

r Press the space bar on each of the drives to select both drives so that both

drives show in SELECTED DRIVES in the top right-hand corner of the screen.

r Press Enter.

r At this point you will get a warning saying : “WARNING : One or more selected

drives has a valid partition and there is a risk of losing the data if configured.

Do you want to continue ? (Yes/No):”

r Enter Y for Yes.

r The screen will briefly show “Configuring the drives …” and will then take you

back to the Main Menu.

r Next, choose Manage Arrays.

r Your two drives should show as SIMPLE VOLUME in the “List of Arrays” in

the top right corner of the screen with your original LIVE hard disk showing on

Port 0. This step is purely to make sure we are on track, that everything has been

connected properly, and that all the steps up to this point have been followed

correctly.

r Escape back to the Main Menu.

r Now choose Create Array.
