Dimension E310 with RAID controller bad hard drive or bad

I have an E310 with DataSafe (two disks Seagate 160 GB in RAID 1).  The other day, the RAID software reported a failed drive.  Left as is one night or more.  The next morning, the machine has rebooted with no hard drive found.  The stop for the rest of the day.  That night that he started Windows, software RAID said two discs have been very well and tried to rebuild the mirror.  Suspended kept Windows and blue screening. From one of the drives and rebooted.  Now running a week on a single disc without any problems.  So, I lucky and pull the bad drive which can't seem to see the software RAID is bad?  Or the software RAID controller might be malfunctioning and having only a drive he will not RAID so no problems?  Don't want to waste money on replacement disks if the controller is the problem.  Would appreciate suggestions on how best to diagnose.

  • Dimension E310 will identify the 2nd HARD drive

    I am trying to add a 2nd HARD drive on my Dimension E310 (WinXP Media Center Edition 2005) without success.  I bought a naked WD10EZEX and 1.0 TB SATA cable and have physically installed the drive and connected the power cable from Garland.  SATA data cable is connected to the SATA-2 port.  When I go into the BIOS settings, the original boot drive 80 GB is recognized but the second disc of 1.0 TB is not.  I turned on the port, but the disc ID says 'unknown '.  If I spend two readers autour, the first hard disk (CT 1.0) is recognized but the second disc (the original 80 GB) drive ID: unknown.  BIOS is version A03 (08/10/05).  What I am doing wrong or do I not have a defective SATA-2 port?

    Hi, Osprey4.  Thanks for your suggestions.  I tried to connect just one drive at a time for the second SATA port, leaving the first open port and got the same results.  No disc has been recognized.  I chose to not reset the CMOS.  It seems the second port does not work.  I can accept and manage with just one port I have available with the larger HARD drive.

    Thanks again for your support.  I'll mark this thread as "resolved".

  • Replace T420s with a new SSD HARD drive

    Hello

    I wonderd if it is possible to replace with a new SSD HARD drive, while putting the HARD drive in the Bay of Ultra-slot.

    And if so, what SSD model should I buy, and how do I transfer the operating system and the data for the SSD?

    This SSD model will be compatible?

    Corsair neutron Series 120 GB SSD Sata III MLC 2.5 inches Retail

    Thank you very much

    Guy

    Yes, what you are proposing is quite feasible. You will need an adapter Ultabay to organize your HARD drive in the Ultrabay housing on your system. These are available from Lenovo, but are relatively expensive. You can get a much less expensive (~ $ 10) a compatible version on eBay. It is not as well finished as the real issue, but it works well.

    The best way to transfer everything on your SSD is "clone" of your HARD disk using a software as Acronis True Image. If your current HARD drive is made by Western Digital or Seagate you can get a free copy of Acronis on their Web site. Put the SSD in the SATA drive Bay and the HARD disk in the UtlraBay. Set the T520 to start from the Ultrabay, install/run Acronis here and make a clone for the SSD. Then boot from the SSD and you'll be all set.

    With respect to the SSD, many people here have had good success with Crucial M4, 520 Intel and Samsung 830. I guess that Corsair works perfectly as well, but I didn't know all messages from people here who have done so.

    Before ordering a SSD confirm if the HARD drive is 7 mm or 9.5 mm thick. Then order the same thickness SSD. This way, you will be able to use the metal rails caddy and rubber who now hold your HARD drive to contain the SSD.

    Readers as high as 126 GB or more have been around since mid-2002.  It's about 7 years now and LabVIEW Real-time STILL cannot use greater than 126 GB drives!  Please OR.  Do something.

    We deserve the patches for older versions of LabVIEW RT.  What about updates to LabVIEW RT.  As 7.0.2 7.1.2 7.6.2, 8.0.2, 8.2.2, 8.6.2.

    We don't need new features or versions of LabVIEW RT as 9.0 until we have some of the bugs fixed in existing versions.

    Hello

    Start Windows Explorer, and then see if there is a drive letter assigned for access to the
    drive. If this is not the case, check if the disc is shown in disk management.

    1. Open Computer Management by clicking on the button start , by clicking on Control Panel, system and security, clicking Administrative Tools and then double-click computer management. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
    2. In the left pane, under storage, click Disk Management.

    If there has made a right click option - assign a drive letter for you can use Windows
    Explorer to copy files.

    I hope this helps.

    Check the system restore to see how much disk space it uses:

    Click Start

    Right click on computer

    Click on properties

    Click on advanced system settings

    Click on the System Protection

    Adjust the amount of disk space allocated to system restore.

    In addition, the amount of RAM you have installed, it will take more disk space for paging, hibernation, and dump files.

  • Problems of storage controller AMD with a 3 TB HARD drive

  • Cannot install esx 4.1 under raid 5 with 2.7 TB hard drive

    Hello

    I've been tring install esx 4.1 to IBM 3650 server with Raid-MR10i server with raid 5. 6 x 600 GB hard drive

    When it come to selec-hdd it shows the hard drive, but cannot select them.

    but this does not happen with esxi 4.1 for esxi 5.0. and also if I tried with 4x600GB hard disk drive is active and I can install esx 4.1

    any ideas. IWAS tring to understand her for the last two days

    Thanks in advance

    My thoughts

    The maximum supported size of the LUN in vSphere 4.x is 2 TB

    It is why ESX 4.1 can't install TB LUN 2.7, but can be downloaded on the 1.8 to

    ESXi installation is different because it uses only a small partition of the large LUN and do not create a data store

    You will see after installation you probably woun't be able to create a VMFS data with the remaining space store, because it is longer than 2 TB on ESXi4

    Please allow points to useful/correct answers.

  • How to have SATA drives connected to an Intel RAID controller as removable drives

    HI: we have a Supermicro Server with controller series Intel C600 and we would like to use some of their drives and ports as removable devices, to allow to copy media from one server to another. I mean:

    -The controller has 4 ports with 4 disk on each, in total 16 records

    -The first 4 ports will remain the same, not removable (BONES in Raid 1, media in Raid 0)

    -Other ports (2-4) will be used with SATA SSDS, and we need to delete them via Eject hardware (such as a hard drive attached) and then be able to attach them on the backup server to read the media.

    As far as I know, there is a DWORD I maybe need to add in the registry, but some help would be more than welcome to solve this problem.

    It is the opposite, to not allow the HARD drive to be ejected.

    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\asahci64\Controller0\Channel0]
    "TreatAsInternalPort"=dword:00000001
    
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\asahci64\Controller0\Channel1]

  • Upgrade to a Satellite 1805-514 with a CPU and HARD drive

    Hello

    Several years ago I bought the laptop mentioned above. Unfortunately, the laptop no longer starts because of a damaged hard drive.
    Now I'm looking for a replacement. My dealer offered me several hard disks with a capacity of 40 GB to 80 GB. 1805-514 does support large hard drives?

    In addition my dealer gave me a 1, 13ghz Pentium 3 mobile. Does make sense to replace a processor 1 Ghz Celeron with a 1, 13 Ghz P3?

    Thanks in advance and sorry for my bad English

    Samson74

    Hello

    In my opinion, it makes no sense to upgrade the processor 1 GHz to 1.13 GHz to form
    The difference between these two processors is not high and you have no sensation of the increase in the performance of the laptop.

    I put t know compatible hard drives for Satellite 1805 but for Satellite 1800. But these two units are very similar.
    As far as I know, you can use the 10 GB, 15 GB, 20 GB and 30 GB.
    I think that the BIOS will not recognize the larger HARD drive.

  • Trouble with the new internal hard drive...

    Hello, I just bought a 500 GB for my Dimension 4500 internal hard drive. When I click on my computer, it says the hard disk capacity is only 127 concerts. I think it's because the motherboard is old (I got the 4500 in 2002). Is it possible to reach the full 500 concerts (465-formatted) using this motherboard (i.e. through a BIOS upgrade or something) or 127 is the max I can get with this system?

    If I need a BIOS upgrade, where can I get TI/how I do that?

  • Windows 8 Defrag lists raided SSD as HARD drive

    I have a 3rd gen core i7 with a card mother z77 (Asus P8Z77-V Pro) running Windows 8.

    I have 4 SSD RAID 0 would be in 2 groups and all 4 disks are plugged into the Intel SATA plugs.  I also have a 1 than to plugged catch NO Intel SATA HARD drive.

    A group is my boot (C) drive that is 2 x ADATA SX900 256 GB, and others, I have for storage (D) which is 2 x SanDisk Extreme 240 GB.

    I installed the latest Intel RST drivers.

    Under the Windows Defragmenter, my C drive is listed as SSD but my D drive is listed as a HARD drive.

    I want my D drive will be listed as SSD so that the FILLING can be passed to it.  My C drive when I click on optimize correctly trimmed output %, while the D drive outputs % consolidated.

    I have all 4 disks and two exactly the same RAID configurations in the BIOS and drivers of the RST with the exception of a difference.  Drive C is using 64 k band and D drive is using 128 KB Strip.  I can't imagine it is what makes Windows think that the D drive is a HARD drive because of the size of distribution?

    Is there something I can do in the registry to recognize my D as an SSD drive?

    I would rather not reformat my D drive to 64 KB stripe just to see if that solves it if there is something I can do with the registry, config, or otherwise in the software.

  • Satellite Pro P200 - 1KE Vista loses contact with the second internal HARD drive

    Vista Business SP2. I have a Satellite Pro P200-1KE, with two 160 GB drives: a Hitachi configured as C: (operating system, programs, etc.) and E: (data, other programs). The second is a Toshiba MK1637GSX. This little about it and nothing of any importance and is normally configured as d. Unfortunately this hard drive has now become invisible to Vista, although it is still recognized by BIOS and Device Manager. In managing computer does not appear in the list in the upper pane, it comes without a letter from reader below. I have tried everything I know to get recognized, including the following:
    (In no particular order):

    * Remove computer - managed, reset as a single Volume: it always fails
    * Reformat to NTFS using Linux GParted or utility disk Linux (via a USB stick with Linux ice Peppermint on that nerd), sometimes combined with the restoration of the system - it works, but only for a single session. She always disappears again when you restart
    * Remove the driver from Device Manager and pointing plug-and-play with Windows System 32 and Windows Update - which seems to return the driver - but does not recognized disk, unfortunately
    * Meanwhile, throughout all this, Vista insists on finding a driver for "unknown device" that she sometimes found and (allegedly) installs and sometimes find one fails to install.

    Bah!

    Anyone know anything else I can try - preferably without having to reinstall the entire operating system, or run the risk of using Toshiba Hardware Setup that does not seem to come with all the instructions and enigmatic, who wonder if I want to delete stuff 'selected', without showing me what kind of things I am alleged to have selected for removal!

    If this second HDD is not so important to try to start the original installation disk Microsoft (Vista or Win7) to see if the second HDD will be recognized for the installation procedure.
    You can also try to install Win7 on this second HDD to see if the installation is correctly finalized. Later, you can check if you can start the second HARD drive preinstalled OS.

    Test just to see if this problem is related to Vista only.
