RAID Migration Instructions
The Intel Application Accelerator RAID Edition offers the flexibility to
upgrade from a single Serial ATA (SATA) hard drive to a two drive RAID 0 or
RAID 1 configuration when an additional SATA hard drive is added to the
system. This process will create a new RAID volume from an existing disk.
However, several important steps must be followed at the time the system is
first configured in order to take advantage of RAID when upgrading to a
second SATA hard drive:
1. BIOS must be configured for RAID before installing Windows* XP
on the single SATA hard drive. Refer to Page B-5 BIOS Configura-
tion for properly setting of the BIOS.
2. Install the Intel Application Accelerator RAID Driver during Win-
dows Setup. Refer to Page B-13 Installing Software for instruc-
tions on installing the driver during Windows Setup.
3. Install the Intel Application Accelerator RAID Edition after the
operating system is installed.
To create a volume from an existing disk, complete the following steps:
MSI Reminds You...
A Create from Existing Disk operation will delete all existing
data from the added disk and the data cannot be recovered. It is
critical to backup all important data on the added disk before
proceeding. However, during the migration process, the data on
the source disk is preserved.
After the Intel Application Accelerator RAID Edition has been suc-
cessfully installed and the system has rebooted, click on the Intel Application
Accelerator shortcut link and the following window will appear:

Create RAID Volume from Existing Disk
To create a RAID volume from an existing disk, right-mouse click on
RAID Volume  and select Create From Existing Disk to create a new RAID
volume as the screen below. You may also use the RAID drop-down menu and
click on Create Volume from Existing Disk.
(1) Step 1 of 3: Select the source disk
For Step 1, select the source disk that you wish to use and then click Next.
It is very important to note which disk is the source disk (the one containing
all of the information to be migrated) and which one is the target disk. On a
RAID Ready system, this can be determined by making a note during POST of
which port (e.g. Port 0 or Port 1) the single disk is attached to.
    You can also use the Intel Application Accelerator RAID Edition utility
before the second disk is installed to verify the Port and serial number of the
drive that contains all the data.
