Mirror Drives
Note1 - Disks can be IDE, SATA, or
SCSI.
Note2 - The 2nd drive must be the
same size or larger for this to
work.
Note3 - Start with no partition on
2nd drive.
Note4 - You will be making these
disks dynamic, which requires 1mb of
free space at the end of the disk.
If you created the partitions in
Windows, no problem, but other
utilities or OSs may not do this by
default.
1) In Disk Management, upgrade both
disks to dynamic. (Requires 2
reboots - Does not take time for
disks to change, only time for
reboot)
2) Right click disk0 and select Add
Mirror. (Remember, disk1 needs to be
unallocated space)
3) You're done!
NOTE: To boot from the mirrored
volume, see "Booting from Mirrored
Volume" below. |
