I currently have a raid o with two max 120 GB w/a WD 30 GB back up. One drive (not sure which one) is starting to whine on boot. Getting a little nervous. Can I change from R 0 to R 1 and if so how. Also can this be done without lose of data?

Win xp pro
1 GB ram
pent 4 2.4
nvidia gf 6600 agp
abit is7

Thanks!
 
montag,

I'm not sure what you mean. I am able to have raid because of the IS7 mobo and a download from Intel. I believe it is the chipset ICH5R that allows raid but I'm ignorant about a card.


Thanks for your interest.

Only way to do this. Use something like GHOST to make a copy of your data -- needs to be stored somewhere other than your two drives.

Break the RAID 0 array and re-build as RAID 1 (mirror).

Ghost your image back to the new array. As long as your data is less than 120GB, it will fit. If you have more than 120GB of data, it's not going to fit once you change the array.
