How To Set Up Software RAID 0 for Windows and Linux. By Alex Campbell 2015-03. Even with the advent of SSDs, leveraging a redundant array of independent disks (RAID) can drastically reduce boot. Key frase was: 'I created striped volumes which are software RAID 0'; it's windows managed raid, no drivers needed. I did it on XP and I want to do same on the vista. However, to do this, i need to convert basic disks to dynamic first. If this would be done without problem, I'm sure that I would be able to create striped volumes (software raid 0). I have a HP Server DL320 G5. There are two SATA hard disks configured as RAID 1 through HP embedded RAID controller. Server OS is running GNU/Linux (Fedora) Server booted up with clonezilla live CD. The image will be stored on a NAS connected through NFS. Clonezilla could mount the NFS share and could see the two hard disks /dev/sda and /dev/sdb.

Is Clonezilla Free

Clonezilla is a partition or disk clone tool similar to Norton Ghost. It saves and restores only used blocks in hard drive. Two types of Clonezilla are available, Clonezilla live and Clonezilla SE (Server Edition). Clonezilla live is suitable for single machine backup and restore. While Clonezilla SE is for massive deployment, it can clone many (40 plus) computers simultaneously.

Features of Clonezilla are Free (GPL) Software, Filesystem supported ext2, ext3, ext4, reiserfs, xfs, jfs of GNU/Linux, FAT, NTFS of MS Windows, and HFS+ of Mac OS, Multicast is supported in Clonezilla SE, which is suitable for massively clone. You can also remotely use it to save or restore a bunch of computers if PXE and Wake-on-LAN are supported in your clients.

I have nothing but bad experiences in using built in raid controller.

Is there a possibility to use the software raid features of windows 2003 in Windows XP?

Yes, Windows XP Pro is capable of software RAID levels 0, 1 or 5. In order to get levels 1 and 5 some modified files have to be installed. I've been using Windows XP Pro with RAID 5 as file server for movies for 6 months now and have had no problems at all. If you're interested here's a pretty easy to follow tutorial Software RAID 0, 1, 5 or JBOD Using Windows XP Pro SP3. If you run into any problems just ask a question in the comments and the admin will answer them quickly. Hope this helps.

Windows XP Pro allow you to define software RAID volumes, but only RAID 0, see this tutorial:www.techimo.com/articles/index.pl?photo=149

If you want to configure RAID 1 or RAID 5 volumes on Windows XP this will require some hacking. If you google for 'windows XP software RAID' there are plenty of tutorials on how to enable this features on Windows XP

I can only assume that you're using consumer level nVidia or generic BIOS level RAID on a workstation. Avoid on-board RAID solutions as they're all junk. There are varying differences in RAID solutions. Your best best for doing real RAID is to get an actual card.

I highly discourage doing software RAID especially on Windows as performance won't be too bad in comparison to hardware RAID, but for if you really want any level of protection from failure don't think software can supplant hardware RAID. Yes they cost money. Yes, they can be a complicated. But if you want RAID to work for you, you have to invest in the hardware.

You can explore the software raid features by right clicking on your 'My Computer' icon, choosing 'Manage', and then click the 'Disk Management' entry in the tree on the left side of the window that opens.

Look for any disks listed as 'dynamic' (odds are your system volume is currently 'basic') and right click on them to get a menu of tasks you can perform.
