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 system, do NOT connect the hard drive to the
motherboard controller yet. You MUST install the Windows NT4 or 2000 driver
software first (see
RAID Manual of the TUCD
) to this drive while it is still attached to your
existing hard drive controller. For all other Operating Systems, proceed here.
