| | RAID 1 on Vista Home Premium I bought a laptop HP Pavilion DV9428, AMD Turion X2 2.2GHz, 2 Gb RAM, 2 x Toshiba 120Gb HD (device manager says SCSI !) I would like to mirror my main HD to the 2nd one in the event of a HD failure. I searched in my owner's manual and in Windows help file and could not find any information on how or if it can be done. Any comments or help will be appreciated. Thanks |

| | Re: RAID 1 on Vista Home Premium Try entering the BIOS setup during system startup and checking for a setting to setup RAID. It often appears as a choice for the IDE configuration and takes you to a menu. Be careful what settings you make. -- Tom MSMVP 1998-2007 "AJR" <AJR@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:35046111-F9FB-4633-9F3A-4EAAEE532453@xxxxxx Quote: >I bought a laptop HP Pavilion DV9428, AMD Turion X2 2.2GHz, 2 Gb RAM, 2 x > Toshiba 120Gb HD (device manager says SCSI !) > I would like to mirror my main HD to the 2nd one in the event of a HD > failure. > I searched in my owner's manual and in Windows help file and could not > find > any information on how or if it can be done. > Any comments or help will be appreciated. > Thanks |

| | Re: RAID 1 on Vista Home Premium PS If you can and do proceed, know that you will have to install everything again. So back up user files. make sure you have all the system drivers, &c on hand before you do it. -- Tom MSMVP 1998-2007 "AJR" <AJR@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:35046111-F9FB-4633-9F3A-4EAAEE532453@xxxxxx Quote: >I bought a laptop HP Pavilion DV9428, AMD Turion X2 2.2GHz, 2 Gb RAM, 2 x > Toshiba 120Gb HD (device manager says SCSI !) > I would like to mirror my main HD to the 2nd one in the event of a HD > failure. > I searched in my owner's manual and in Windows help file and could not > find > any information on how or if it can be done. > Any comments or help will be appreciated. > Thanks |
