Hi,

Before doing this activities you need to take complete backup ,
There is 2 ways to configure it as you want.

1. The ORCA. Hit F8 when prompted.
2. Select Create array.
3. Select Both hard drives.
4. Select RAID 1+0
5. press Enter to save the raid level

Or You can use ACU, from the Smart Start CD.
