Create a new volume only when: • You are adding two new drives to an existing single-drive computer (and the operating system is on the single drive), and you want to configure the two new drives into a RAID volume. • You already have a two-hard drive computer configured into a volume, but you still have some space left on the volume that you want to designate as a second RAID volume. Creating a RAID Level 0 Configuration NOTICE: When you perform this operation, all data on the RAID drives will be lost. NOTE: This procedure is only possible if you ordered your computer with a RAID configuration. 1 Set your computer to RAID-enabled mode (see "Setting Your Computer to RAID-Enabled Mode" on page 53). 2 Click Start and point to Programs→ Intel(R) Matrix Storage Manager→ Intel Matrix Storage Console to launch the Intel Storage Utility.
