Raid 0 Drive 1 at Risk. How to Back up and restore
My Laptop came with Raid 0 over 2 one terrabyte harddisks. Last week i started getting Drive 1 at risk message. I looked it up and it turns out that this message occurs some time before your drive fails.
I did a Full computer backup using windows Back up utility using an external Hard drive. Now I'm going to buy a new internal Hard drive to replace the faulty one.
What are the steps i have to do to back up properly ?
After some search, I learned that :
1_ Backup everything.
2_ Replace Faulty drive.
3_ Rebuild Raid 0 array.
4_ Restore the system image.
I just need some clarification before starting (Basically steps 2 and 3). Does the new internal Hard drive have to be the same brand/type/size as the old Faulty hard drive ?
Also I've never used Raid, so how do i recreate a new raid 0 array ? From Bios ? Should i create a repair disk too ? or would Windows dvd work ?
Thats it, Thank you for your help.
