  • Please Russian govori

  • Thanks! I'm using this to "speed-up" my Windows XP pro (patched) VM on 3 external discs. Runs great!

  • @palofuck A Mirror drive writes data in its entirety to all of the drives in question. They are perfect copies, hence mirror. There is no 'active' or 'mirror' disk; Both are equal.

    RAID1 is redundant. Since data on both drives are identical, if one fails, the RAID will read the data off of the other disk & will tell you about the fail. You then get a new drive (the same), and rebuild the RAID. The data will then be written to the new drive.

  • @Skash2006 Also, this is XP I'm using, not server 03. This video says "How to configure RAID1 in Windows Server 2003/XP" I have successfully set up a RAID1 in server, but have yet to do it in XP.

  • @Skash2006 I'm aware of that. The 2 drives are unallocated & are the same size. I flip both from basic to dynamic & do new volume. I hit next & the options available are: Simple, Spanned & Striped (raid 0). There is no Mirror option.

  • @warriorjames Destination drive needs to be blank, not formatted or anything.

    Then switch to Dynamic and Mirror with the drive you wish

  • Thanks alot for the video! Very useful

  • nice tution

    

  • Nice! Short and sweet. Thanks.

  • @your247support You will need to tune up some DDLs files on XP in order to set uop a RAID.
