Using the NVIDIA MediaShield RAID Management Utility
Migrating from RAID 0 to RAID 5
The following example shows you how to migrate from a RAID 0 array with two disks to
a RAID 5 array with three disks.
1 Go to the system BIOS and make sure that the drives that you want to use are RAID
enabled.
2 Boot to Windows, launch the MediaShield application, then follow the steps outlined in
“Creating a Striped Array” on page 47
to create a two disk stripe array.
When that is done, you should see a screen shot similar to the following:

Now that a two disk stripe array has been created, you can use the MediaShield convert
feature to migrate the array from a two-disk RAID 0 into a three-disk RAID 5 array.
