This chapter will cover two topics : ■ Creating a Bootable Array - Installing a new Windows XP (or Vista) in a brand new RAID system. ■ Creating a Non-Bootable Array - Existing Windows XP (or Vista) system with new RAID built as data storage.
5 68 Creating a Bootable Array - Installing a new Windows XP (or V ista) in a brand new RAID system. 1. Follow 5-1 to create a RAID driver diskette. 2. Follow 5-2 to set RAID enabled in BIOS. 3. Follow 5-3 to select a RAID array for use. 4. Follow 5-4 to Install a new Windows Operating System.
5 69 RAID Conguration Introduction RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks) is a method for computer data storage schemes that divide and/or replicate data among multiple hard drives. RAID can be designed to provide increased data reliability (fault tolerance) or increased I/O (input/ output) performance, or both.
5 70 RAID 0 (Striped) RAID 0 reads and writes sectors of data interleaved among multiple drives. If any disk member fails, it affects the entire array . The disk array data capacity is equal to the number of drive members times the capacity of the smallest member .
5 71 Option ROM Utility The Option ROM Utility supports RAID 0, RAID 1 and RAID10 functions. It allows you to get high performance with fault tolerance, big capacity , or data safety provided by different RAID functions. Here, we will use four SA T A hard disks as an example to guide you through how to congure your RAID system.
5 72 T wo 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 SA T A Hard Disks before we continue : ■ Shut down your computer .
5 73 1. Find a PC, put a diskette into its oppy drive A:, this diskette will be formatted later . Put the driver CD into DVD-ROM drive. 2. Depending on which platform your system is, normally , it is a 32-bit XP system. Use Windows explorer , and go to CD:Driver AMDRAIDFloppyWinXP , click on RaidT ool icon to start the creation.
5 74 6. Y ou can input a volume label for this diskette, click on "Start" to format. 7. Click on "OK" to go through this warning message. 8. Format nished. Click "OK" to continue copying of RAID driver into this diskette.
5 75 5-2 RAID Enable in BIOS 1. Enter the BIOS setup by pressing <DEL> key when boot up. 2. Select the “Integrated Peripherals” from the “Main menu”, then select the “SA T A Conguration” menu and press <Enter> to go to the conguration items.

5 81 5. A message prompts. Press [Ctrl-Y] to erase the RAID array . 6. Another screen prompts. Press any key to use the maximum capacity . 7. The creation of RAID 1 is completed. The nal capacity of 249.99GB (250GB) is the smaller size of the two hard drives.
5 82 Create RAID 10 (Striped Mirror) Here, we will show you how to create one Striped Mirror Logical Drives (LD) by using four hard disks. 1. Select [2] from the main menu, "Dene LD Menu" appears. 2. Press [Enter], the screen appears as below , select RAID 10.
5 83 5. A message prompts. Press [Ctrl-Y] to erase the RAID array . 6. Another screen prompts. Press any key to use the maximum capacity . 7. The creation of RAID 10 is completed. The nal capacity of 163.99GB (81.995GB*2) is twice capacities of the smallest size of the four hard drives.
5 84 Create RAID Ready A "RAID Ready" system is a specic system conguration that, with the addition of a second Serial A T A hard drive, can be seamlessly migrated to a conguration that provides either improved storage performance or data protection from a single hard drive failure.
5 85 5. A message prompts. Press [Ctrl-Y] to erase the RAID array . 6. The creation of RAID Ready is completed. [ Dene LD Menu ] LD No RAID Mode T otal Drv Capacity(GB) Status LD 1 RAID 0 2 163.
5 86 Create JBOD Here, we will show you how to create a JBOD Logical Drives (LD) by using four hard disks. 1. Select [2] from the main menu, "Dene LD Menu" appears. 2. Press [Enter], the screen appears as below , select JBOD. 3. Use [↓] key to select the hard disks, press [Space] key to change its assignment status to "Y".
5 87 5. A message prompts. Press [Ctrl-Y] to erase the RAID array . 6. The creation of JBOD is completed. T otal size is 82.34+120.03+250.05+320.07 = 772.
5 88 5-4 Install a New Windows XP Assume a Mirrored array (249.99GB) was created as introduced in section 5-3, after the system restarts : 1. Press <DEL> to enter BIOS Setup during POST . 2. Insert the Windows installation CD into the optical drive.
5 89 5. After some les are copied to your system, the following picture appears, press <S> to continue the specic driver installation. 6. It will ask you to insert the RAID driver diskette into your oppy drive. Press <Enter> after it is done.
5 90 7. There are two drivers, for your 32-bit XP system, press [Enter] to select the rst driver - "AMD AHCI Compatible RAID Controller-x86 platform". 8. A conrmation message appears to double check if the driver is really what we wanted, press <Enter> to continue.
5 91 9. Windows will display the partition of your system. As we are using a Mirrored RAID array as an example, its size 232.88GB is now displayed as 238410MB. Y ou can press [C] to create partitions as many as you wish, assign them C:, D: or E: logical drive names.
5 92 5-5 Setting Up a Non-Bootable RAID Array This section assumes the following setup : ■ Boot Disk with Windows XP installed : One hard disk HDS728090PLA T20 (80GB) is connected to the IDE channel, and set to Master .
