So the guy showed up last night with the two extra drives for the server and more memory. Installation was a snap (more on that later). So now we have 2GB of RAM and 4-60GB hard drives.

My plan was to use the 2 extra drives to mirror the first two drives for data redundancy (if one drive fails the mirror just takes over without a loss of service). So, drives are all installed and I sit down last night to set-up the RAID mirrors. Hmmm, how do I do that without wiping out all of the work I have done already. It suddenly occurs to me that to set-up the mirrored drives I have to reformat them (&%#$&%). It also means reinstalling the operating system and all of the upgrades from scratch! So all of the work I have done so far is for naught, unless you count the experience gained :) I'm waiting to see if there is a way to pull them off (not likely), but looks like I'll have to start over...
