If a drive failure occurs, subsequent read and write operations are directed to the surviving drive. A
replacement drive can then be rebuilt using the data from the surviving drive. Also, because data is
duplicated on both drives, two 120-GB RAID level 1 drives collectively have a maximum of 120-GB
on which to store data.
Transferring Information to a New Computer
The Microsoft
®
Windows
®
XP operating system provides a Files and Settings Transfer wizard to
move data from the source computer to the new computer. You can move data such as:
• E-mails
• Toolbar settings
• Window sizes
• Internet bookmarks
You can transfer the data to the new computer over a network or serial connection, or you can store
it on a removable medium, such as a writable CD or floppy disk.
To prepare the new computer for the file transfer:
1 Click the Start button, point to All Programs → Accessories → System Tools, and then click
Files and Settings Transfer Wizard.
2 When the Files and Settings Transfer Wizard welcome screen appears, click Next.
3 On the Which computer is this? screen, click New Computer and click Next.
