Raid 1 with XP and IC7g

[Gerry Abbott]

Hi All

Ive got an IC7 board, which says that there a
Silicon Image SiL 3112 SATARaid Controller installed.

I would like to utilise the Raid 1 functionality.
I know that i'll have to have two SATA drives, exactly the same. Is there
more to it?

Also I've got IDE drives at present, is it possible to install a single SATA
with an IDe, so that I can mirror the IDE onto the new SATA.

Thanks in advance

If you mean copy ide hd to sata yes, ideally with a third party app or the
utility supplied with hd.
If you mean use ide and sata for the mirror no.
