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 or RAID 1 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:
1.
BIOS must be configured for RAID before installing Windows* XP on the single SATA hard
drive. Refer to Section 8 and 10 to properly configure the BIOS.
2.
Install the Intel Application Accelerator RAID Edition during Windows Setup. Refer to
Section 11 for instructions on installing the driver during Windows Setup.
3.
Install the Intel Application Accelerator RAID Edition after the operating system is installed.
See Section 13.3 for where the Intel Application Accelerator RAID Edition can be
downloaded.

Warning:
A ‘Create from Existing Disk’ operation will delete all existing data from the added disk and the
data cannot be recovered. It’s critical to backup all important data on the added disk before
proceeding. However, during the migration process, the data on the source disk is preserved.
