Migrating to a RAID 1 Volume on Inspiron 530
I read the instructions contained in the manual on how to do it, but I need help-
I don't want to lose the information on my C drive
I tried an Intel Matrix Storage manager on my computer and it is not there.
I am running Windows XP home edition - my chipset in Intel G33/G31 Express Chipset-
My Bios is Dell 1.0.10 12/15/2007 - I've been on the Intel site, and I see that I can download Intel Matrix storage manager 8.5.0.1032 version production - would that be the one to download?
can I download it and run it on my machine for migrating to a raid 1 volume without erasing anything on the C drive?
From that moment the two hard drive works fine but only in car C watch when I click on my computer - I have to format the new drive 1 so he can show until I set up Raid 1?
I went into the Setup program and compatible Raid - at startup, both disks show as non-raid at the moment.
I can't enter Control-I without problem, but I fear I clears the content of the C drive.
also-I/O Controller is Intel 82801IR Intel i/o controller Hub (ICH9R) SATA Controller found in mode - RAID
It is my 1st post, so if I missed something or was too detailed - please advise-
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide-

RAID 3 TB in Inspiron 530, disks appear as Go 746,5
Hi, wasn't sure if it was better in the office forum or here in readers, but they are more obscure than readers PC, so maybe someone else has experienced.
I have an inspiron 530, nice litlle q6600 box.
I picked up a few drives 3 TB who intend to implement raid1.
The I tried one of the discs first in win7 and it worked fine, all 3 to is perceived.
I go into the bios and switch to the raid, it goes in the Intel Matrix Storage Manager option Rom and in there, the drives appear as the only 746,5 GB
I had heard that more than 2 TB of drives must be set to the GPT instead of mbr, so I used a disk utility to pass.
Both the bios and windows will recognize drives like 3 TB, but the Bishop raid will not see their past 746,5 any thoughts?
I tried a 1.5 TB drive in the machine and went into the raid rom, and he saw the full 1.5 to
Hi Oahawhool,
First of all, you should try to update the BIOS of your Inspiron 530. But if you are already up to date, I suspect that the Intel RAID Utility simply not only supports large hard drives. The operating system will support them as long as your Intel RST is up-to-date, as you may need to simply a different strategy that RAID 1 maintain redundancy.

Windows takes a lot longer to load when a raid 5 volume is attached
I am running windows on a SSD drive. It is used only to take about 10 seconds to get the logon screen when I turned on. After I added a raid 5 volume using the Intel Rapid Storage Technology technology, it now takes more than 90 seconds. The raid volume is 4 hard drives. It's just data, so I can't understand how it slows down my windows start so. Note that it does not increase the time of the machine, it increases the time from when the post load windows when I can connect.
I recently lost the raid volume and had to remove it. Starting when the volume has been deleted was much faster, even if all individual drives were still connected. When I recreated the RAID the softstart yet so I'm fairly certain it has something to do with the raid volume.

BitLocker can be used to encrypt drives mirrored in a RAID 1 volume?
Is it possible to use Bitlocker to encrypt a RAID 1 volume in Windows 7 Ultimate? The volume consists of two mirrored disks, created with the help of a card mother RAID enabled. What happens if one of the disks fails? I'll still be able to read each other and to mirror it on a new drive?
I have the answer is simple. BitLocker does not work on software RAID, but it does not work for hardware RAID.
I'm running a RAID 1 running Windows 7 Ultimate x 64 and wanted a way to secure my drives with BitLocker. So I did a lot of research to finally find the answer on the Microsoft TechNet site, buried deeply. This response should be out in the open air using Windows 7, but I found nothing and wanted to be sure before I made a movement. Here is the link if you want to read up on it yourself. It will take you to a chart on to halfway to the bottom of the document. Our concern is listed under Drive Configuration > Software, where you will see that the RAIDs based on software are not supported. I also found similar confirmation on other sites/forums.
