RAID Migration Instructions
The Intel Application Accelerator RAID Edition offers the flexibility to
upgrade from a single Serial ATA (SATA) hard drive to a two drive
RAID-0 configuration when an additional SATA hard drive is added to
the system. This process will create a new RAID volume from an
existing disk. However, several important steps must be followed at
the time the system is first configured in order to take advantage of
RAID when upgrading to a second SATA hard drive.
•
BIOS must be configured for RAID before installing Windows XP
on the single SATA hard drive.
•
Install the Intel Application Accelerator RAID driver during
Windows Setup.
•
Install the Intel Application Accelerator RAID Edition after the
operating system is installed.
Note: A
Create from Existing Disk
operation will delete all
existing data from the added disk and the data cannot be
recovered. It is critical to backup all important data on the added
disk before proceeding. During the migration process, the data on
the source disk will be preserved.

Volume" and select "Create From Existing Disk" to create a new RAID
