RAID Migration Instructions
The Intel Application Accelerator 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 10 and 11 to properly configure the BIOS.
2.
Install the Intel Application Accelerator during Windows Setup. Refer to Section 12 for
instructions on installing the driver during Windows Setup.
3.
Install the Intel Application Accelerator after the operating system is installed. See Section
14.3 for where the Intel Application Accelerator can be downloaded.
To create a volume from an existing disk, complete the following steps:
Warning:
A ‘Create RAID Volume from Existing Hard Drive’ 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.
After the Intel Application Accelerator has been successfully installed and the system has
rebooted, click on the Intel(R) Storage Utility shortcut link and the following window will appear:
