hi,
How can i ensure that my RAID is working fine?
i have successful install and sync my 2 hard-disk
But after i re-boot i got this message when i go to the mange disk redundancy
...
Install disks: hdb hda
Used disk: hdb
free disks: hda
There is an unsed disk drive in the system. Do you wan to add it to the existing RAID array(s)?
Warning: All Data in the new disk will be destory!

ahkiat,
Your info isn't absolutely clear - proceeding maybe dangerous.
Please provide the full information you get
when you log into the SME as "admin"
and select topic 5 "Manage disk redundancy"
Please reread: http://wiki.contribs.org/Raid
(...using hda and hdb to form your Raid1 isn't a good idea since both devices are on a single ide channel)
Let us know which IDE devices you have (hdd type and size, interface they are on)
What (sme message) makes you believe/say:
i have successful install and sync my 2 hard-disk
Regards
Reinhold

Did you ever have windows installed on the drive ? if so take a look at that link above and have a read of the Reusing Hard Drives section.
