KT7 Raid setup

[ryanbrucks]

Hello,

I was about to set up my KT7 raid option earlier, but something caught my attention when I selected begind creation.

I was about to install 2 ibm drives on stripping mode, and when I selected 'start creation process' it gave me a warning message saying all the data on the drive will be lost. Does this mean both drives? On each drive there is 1 primary partition taking 100%, and on my first drive(set as number 1 before I make the raid) I have lots of files that I can't lose. Does that warning message mean that I will lose the data on that drive, or just the second drive(there is nothing on that one)?.

Thanks for your time.

Yes you will loose all data on BOTH drives. It will completly erase both hardrives and you will have to use Fdisk or a similar partion program to create new partitions and then format each partition.

Thanks. Damn though I guess I can't do a RAID just yet.
