Am getting ready to upgrade our company's server from a K6 200Mhz, 10GB HD, 256MB RAM, HP Colorado Tape Backup running NT 4.0 to a 1.3Ghz Thunderbird on a KT7-a-raid. I need to keep the present HD intact while mirroring on to an additional new HD. Is it as simple as doing the upgrade, setting up the RAID and letting it go? Not sure where to start here, and could really use some input. Thanks

When changing the central nervous system of a computer, such as the motherboard, it is never a good idea to just "let things go". The wise thing to do in this scenario is to do a FULL backup, build the server from scratch and restore the data once the server is built. Unless you are using the exact same motherboard and nothing has changed except for the processor and memory.

Good Luck!
