4. Find two hard drives, select a master disk, and press the minus sign in <array disk?>.
5. You are prompted to press F3 to save the disk's data and press DELETE to delete the data on the disk. If you have an operating system on this disk, be sure to select F3. <array disk?> below [No] becomes [Yes] after completion.
6. On the second disk, in the position of [No], press the minus sign:
7. The system warns that the information on this disk will be lost, press DELETE to delete all data on the disk, or press any key to cancel. Press DELETE, and the second disk (No) also becomes [Yes], restarts the system, and starts synchronizing the disk.
