Re: Smartstart 7.30 add disk to array and make it raid 0,1

Hi J. L. Harmsen

First of all you have to make a backup copy of your HD. I will recomend
Paragon disk tool. Paragon disk tool can make an exact copy to another
disk (your plan B (restore/ try again) :-). Then you need to check if
the driver for the RAID is pressent on your system. If the RAID driver
isn´t present on you system then your system will show a blue screen
for a second and then restart again and again if you just establish a
RAID. On server 2003 you will not be able to install a driver before
the RAID is enabled. If you have 2 channels on the RAID controller,
then you need to ENABLE RAID on the one you DON´T use. If you RAID is
on channel A then enable channel B. Then start you system Server 2003.
The hardware will be found, install the driver. Now the driver is
present on your system. Now your are ready to set up the RAID. Remember
if you need to remove the RAID and keep the data on one of the HD.
Remove RAID and chose NONE. With Paragon you copy your HD again and try
again if it fails. Good luck.

Kind Regards
