I have a perfect running system using a Seagate SATA drive. The system is
built on an ASUS P4G8X Deluxe motherboard which includes the Silion Image
SATA RAID controller. I was considering acquiring a second SATA drive in
order to set up RAID 0 on my system but was hoping to avoid having to
reinstall my system to do it. This is what I was hoping to do:
1. Back up my entire system to an external USB 2.0 drive
2. Install the second SATA drive and set up the RAID 0 array in the BIOS
3. Set up partitions as before
4. Format both drives (now seen as one drive?)
5. Connect the USB 2.0 drive back up and RESTORE my system
My question comes down to , will this work? I would apreciate your comments
on this plan.
Thanks in Advance,
