Two topics will be covered in the following sections :
1). Creating a Bootable Array - Installing a new Windows XP in a brand new RAID
system.
2). Creating a Non-Bootable Array - Existing Windows XP system with new RAID
built as data storage.
Install SATA Hard Disks before we continue :
■ Shut down your computer.
■ Install SATA hard disks into the drive bays, connect all power and SATA cables.
To achieve the best performance and reliability, we highly recommend you
using the hard disks with the same brand, size and model number. Though
we are using four different hard disks as an example to describe RAID
function in this chapter, it is only helpful in explaining what the nal disk
volume of the RAID array will be. In the real world, using the same model to
build a disk array is strongly recommended.
