1 Turn on the computer and Press the <Ctrl> + <M> keys to start

the MegaRAID IDE Setup Utility while it is booting.

2 Create an array by using F4 Option. Change the array type to

Mirror.

3 The existing drive and the new drive are included in this array.

You can identify the existing drive and the new drive by where
they are connected.

4 Start the rebuilding process by pressing the <Enter> key. The

setup will prompt for the target drive name. Select the newly
connected drive as the target drive by pressing the <Space>
key and then <Enter> key.

5 The rebuilding process will start. If there are any errors during

the rebuilding of the array, you will be prompted with a mes-
sage box. You can choose to ignore the error and proceed, or
stop the rebuilding process.

NOTE: To make the rebuilding process faster, enable DMA
Read/Write using the <F7> key.
