dv9700 raid

Hi
I have a dv9750ej laptop. I installed a second hard disk in the computer. The second disk is working great.
Is there a way to set up the disks so that they mirror each other - Raid 1?
I am running Windows Vista SP1.

Re: dv9700 raid

No RAID function is not available in the BIOS so cannot be impemented. You miught be able to use backup software to make sure all the important data is backed up to the second drive but drive mirroring is hard to do outside of a RAID array.

Re: dv9700 raid

Please let me know what type and connection HDD have you used as a secondary HDD as the coupling seem to be different from the standart Western Digital couplings for example ?
