Wow, you should go buy a lottery ticket!

lol! I needed this comment to cheer me a bit :D
I stumbled upon unRAID a week ago and searching for a case for my home server I've got 5 years old HP pavilion from a friend of mine last Friday, Saturday morning bought 2T to join my existing saturated 1T in what seems to be relaxing weekend DIY project :P
Went too sleep Sunday 4am just succeeded to make my MB boot from USB :P
As 33 years old Linux virgin, you can imagine my frustration regarding the progress speed in finishing my first NAS...
Luckily, 1st/3 pre-clearing of my 2T is hitting to it's 25th hour which leaves me just enough time to confuse myself even more...
As I don't find a straight answer to next problem I'll dare to pose this question here where my adventure ends for today...
How/should I transfer data from my 1T to pre-cleared/formatted 2T once the process is finished???
First thought was to use Hiren's boot CD to copy files under provided win xp environment but reading some posts here getting impression how naive I am...
It's in option to buy another 2T this weekend...
Even an appropriate link would be very appreciated!
Thanks in advance!

few hours of sleep and quick peek to the Configuration Tutorial gave me the answer to my question...
my first preclear on WD20EARX 2T finished after 29h 45min with 0 errors
the next one is on it's way!

please...
i want to do 2nd preclear of my HD and i tried option with email notifications
./preclear_disk.sh -M 4 /dev/sdX ("root" email address)
what comes back is:
bash: syntax error near unexpected token `('
what is that, i didn't found similar post to guide me in this case...
bw1:
To run preclear with email notifications, use something like:
./preclear_disk.sh -m youremail@email.com -M 4 /dev/sdX
replace youremail and sdX with your own parameters.
If you added "("root" email address)" to the end when you executed the command, that would give you an error.
