Re: Adding another hard disk and changing the raid array from raid 0 to raid 1
In any case, your RAID controller will almost certainly insist on re-initializing both of the drive(s) to change to RAID 1 which means you will lose the existing content.
You could try using the Micro$soft FTDISK to do software mirroring, which would preserve your existing data, but it's a big performance drag and we've stopped using it anywhere.
HTH,
Paul

SolutionRaid 1 is simply mirroring. You use the Disk Admin in Windows. The extra disk must be low-level formatted and have an unused partition at least the size of the partition you want to mirror.
Then you use the Control key to select both the original drive, and the unused partition, select Mirror from the FT menu, and windows does the rest.
Is this what you mean?

Re: Adding another hard disk and changing the raid array from raid 0 to raid 1
Solution sugested in this diskussion works but this is not the most efficient way to use your resources. Using software mirroring is not as efficient as hardware RAID 1. Since you already have netraid controller and additional disk better way is to convert existing raid 0 to raid 1. This can be done online if you have installed netraid assistent (you can find it on navigator cd or load from hp site). In netraid assist you select your raid 0 logical disk and new ready disk and choose Logical drive -> change config -> raid level or add capacity in menu. In operating system you do not have to do anything.

Re: Adding another hard disk and changing the raid array from raid 0 to raid 1
Paul, the link has incorrect information. I see single disc RAID 0 arrays daily.
