4. A message displays, notifying you that the array has been created. Click the OK button. NOTE: The array migration continues to run in the background. The computer can be used normally while the migration continues. 5. When you are notified that the array migration has completed, close all open programs, and then restart the computer. When the computer is restarted, the operating system detects the newlycreated array and prompts you to restart the computer a second time. 6. After you have restarted the computer a second time, the RAID migration is complete. NOTE: Although the total capacity of the RAID 0 volume appears in the Console, the extra capacity created with the addition of the secondary hard drive appears to the system as unallocated space. After the system reboots, you must allocate the unallocated space. For Windows XP, the only option through the operating system is to create and format a separate volume. Windows Vista and Windows 7 contain additional capabilities that allow you to create a single RAID 0 volume. Refer to Allocating unallocated hard drive space for an HP image on page 26 for further instructions. Initiate RAID migration 23
