Ghost of a... possible replacement drive?

As I discovered wire http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Iomega-Network-Storage/Check-disks-in-iX2-dl/td-p/1473642 one of the disks Seagate 3TO knows bad blocks. If I buy a new drive 3 TB of Seagate (identical to that old) and the entire disk with Ghost on a new disc image, will it work? This seems easier than to have to rebuild (copy) brand new from other sources I backupped to.

Just curious and may be willing to do it if it has no chance to run :-)

Hi, I tried Norton Ghost, Acronis True Image and many others: no success...

Until I found Clonezilla. I made a bootable CD and used a desktop computer with 2 SATA drives to make an exact copy of the bit to bit and after several hours, it was over. And it works! No problem whatsoever.

I'm back from the defective drive tomorrow. Great :-)!

  • Replaced drive now in lieu of a State, does that mean?

    I had a drive fail in a PV hanging off a PERC 6, and it rebuilt to the hot spare fine.  Now I'm put a new drive in the slot where the failed drive was, went into the RAID BIOS where I assumed it would be in a Ready state and waiting for me to mark it as the new hot spare, but it is in a Replacing state, not Ready, so I cant mark it as the new hot spare. Does this mean its rebuilding from the hot spare to that new drive and then the former hot spare now live drive will go back to being the hot spare again?
    

    Hello rjo80,

    Yes the hot spare is to copy the data on the replacement drive & once it's over then it will go back to being a spare disk.  On the PERC card, there is a feature that recalled the copy that has been activated & with that enabled that is why u who sees in the PERC bios.

    Please let us know if you have any other questions.

  • Possible replacement of SSD - what to disable?

    I bring my 2012 MacBook pro SSD checkup/possible replacement.

    I have a Time Machine backup, and Super Duper image.

    What applications can I disable (if any)... Photographer Adobe CC (2014), perfect photo suite 9, nik collection, many applications of the "Topaz", print the Image are all on my MBP and iMac. Can I disable them? Just in case where the SSD is replaced or deleted?

    What about other applications like Dragon Dictate, printing 3 or Vuescan?

    I also use Dropbox (my cat LR there is among other things) - I would like to turn off sync with the MBP? Can I remove some Dropbox files?

    Thank you...

    If you have a backup of good machine, time, current, known and one clone of Super Duper that you plan to use to restore your Mac and there is no need to disable or disconnect from all Adobe software. You will restore it on the same exact system.

  • replaced drive perc5i

    Hello

    I recently replaced a drive in a poweredge server 2950 with perc controller 5 / i running RAID-5. There are 4 disks on slot 0 and 2 drives on the connector 1.

    Replaced drive is 0:0:1 and is stuck in the ready state.  I have tried to add as a hot spare but can't seem to get this drive to come online.  While checking this point, disc 1:0:5 is also stuck in a ready state, and not online. (I think that this was replaced by a former employee in the past)

    1. can you someone explain global hot spare vs dedicated emergency and if I want to drive one.  I find this very confused and do not understand the reading that I still find.  One even told me that the replacement drive would only pick up the slack for the connector, to which it was attached?

    2. how to make disk 0:0:1 online and 1:0:5 online?

    3. the disk 0:0:0 is also in a State of predicted failure and I have a disc for this but I would like to firstly with these other two.  I understand, that it is unlikely to have two failed disks at the same time, but we are dealing with 2006 readers

    Any help would be appreciated.  I apologize in advance for any terminology that I hacked upward and also for my ignorance on this subject.

    Dedicated hot spare: A disk that is ready to take the place of a disk that fails - any disk that is part of the table that is assigned the rescue. If you have a RAID 1 and RAID 5 3x1TB 2x1To, you can assign the emergency to protect ONLY the RAID 5, so if a RAID 1 drive fails, it will not rebuild, but if a disk in the RAID 5 fails, it will rebuild in who has no place to drive.

    World Relief: A disk that is ready to take the place of any disk that fails - a disk that is part of a table. In the scenario above, you can assign the disk as a global hot, then regardless of what table failed disk belongs, the hot spare will rebuild in its place.

    A hot spare must be at least as large as the disk, it must replace, and a hot spare must be the same type of disk (SATA/SAS) than the player he must replace.

    This is not true.

    2.

    It depends on your configuration. Obviously you are not running just a single RAID 5, or with two drives in the State LOAN, your data table / would be gone. So, we need to know exactly the configuration that you are running.

    3.

    Yes, you should start with the other two, with fully redundant table and fail in good health before the disc pred. You will need to FORCE it offline before replacing... WHEN you are ready to do so.

  • Satellite Pro M70, Possible replace the DVD - RW drive?

    I thought that in the future come lightscribe Slim DVD - RW. Is it possible to remove the build - in the disc that came with the computer, with a slim-line DVD - RW. I think the connection, it is standard on all readers optical slim for laptops, or is it IDE/SATA or something like that?

    Hi whc

    Physically, it is possible to remove all parts of the laptop. On your device should not be a problem at all. The problem is the compatibility of the player.

    Each car will not work (can not recognized correctly) on each laptop Toshiba and, in my opinion, you should check the compatibility of the player by the service partner before buying one of them. Your unit is a mobile most recent with fantastic super multi DL drive. As James said, wait and you'll see if Toshiba will be those and also compatible drivers for your device.

    I'm really skeptical if you can launch the second partition Toshiba ghost image files without using the Symantec Norton Ghost software.

    I created a ghost of the C partition image and placed on the D partition.
    Recover the C partition to start the utility of Ghost and having to use the file D partition .gho image

  • Lost my operating system XP - need a replacement drive

    The hard drive of my house died. I replaced and started to load the recovery discs for that are the bad discs. My ex had a HP compaq and it must have taken my records with his departure these instead. Needless to say, I can not activate the reload XP.

    Is it possible to get an installation for Windows XP disc or maybe activate the XP version of compaq to my ex?

    Hello:

    HP probably will not have recovery XP disks more.

    You can contact HP technical support and ask, but I think that they will confirm my opinion.

    The only place I know that could still have a scheduled for PC recovery disc shipped with XP is this provider.

  • Photoshop elements 11 software box installed once in December 2012 install on the new computer. Disc cannot be read (tested on 3 different computers). What's still possible a drive from a very meticulous, well protected?

    Dear Adobe,

    I need your help!

    December 12, 2012, I ordered (sold) by mail an official copy of the Adobe Photoshop elements 11 software box B & H Photo (New York, NY). I installed it successfully without any problems on my computer then. I appreciated the help of the program since then, it's great. Last week, however, that computer died and I was force to buy a new computer (Windows 8.1).

    To my surprise, the elements drive wouldn't load on my DVD player. The drive just kept "clicking" for 20 minutes.  After trying several times to reboot, for an hour and a half, I tried and then install on my laptop, just to see if my drive is defective. No, it wasn't. He went too immediately in an endless "by clicking on" routine tries to read the disc. And for one last try, I put it in my sister's laptop and she got the same result - no end ' by clicking on ', no. install. No computer to read the disc!

    How is it still possible from a disc of commercial manufacturing that I used once in 2012! The disc is a meticulous cleanliness, no scratches, unscuffed, put it in its original box and stored on the shelf in a cool place, away from the Sun!

    Serial number of the defective drive: 1057-4186-6029-0039-1511-3940

    Is there anything you can do about it as I don't see why I should have to spend more than $130 (in Canada) to replace a disc that worked only once!

    Cordially, André

    Copy the contents of your drive to a desktop directory.  install from this directory.

    If this fails, download the installation files:

  • Replace drive HARD primary - (FAT partition)?

    I have grown too large for the 80 GB hard drive in my 4500 size 6-year-old plan to replace it with a 160 GB IDE drive.  I intend to temporarily install the new drive as a slave, Ghost allows you to make a copy of the first on the second, then swap autour riders to do the second drive (160 GB) drive and cables.  The original drive Dell has a 31 MB FAT partition and the rest is NTFS.  How important is that FAT partition?  Do I need?  Do you know Ghost if he will duplicate automatically or do I need to create it myself before doing the copy?

    Thank you.

  • Laptop HP 15 (r063tu): would replace drive HARD regular with SSD boost speed & performance significantly on my HP 15 laptop?

    Hello

    Regular HGST (Hitachi) hard drive failed on my HP 15 laptop and I chose to replace it with a spare Seagate Momentus 500 GB HDD (because of the emergency). I read in some other posts on this forum that SSDs increase startup speed and general performance much more conventional hard drives. In addition, seems SSD uses less power and generates less heat, which is optimal for laptop computers. Although SSDS are still quite expensive compared to regular hard drives (a regular 500 Gb portable HDD costs about Rs. 3500, or about $50), all in an SSD with a capacity of 240 GB Samsung / available on Amazon.in Kingston costs about Rs. 5000 (about $70). Thus, a half of the capacity of a normal HARD drive SSD hard drive costs still much more

    Would consider to replace my current HARD drive with an SSD if it's worth the investment (I intend to use this laptop for more than two years).

    Also, please confirm if my model supports SSDS, as he has probably that one Bay to hold an SSD or a normal HARD drive. Would be useful you can offer a good/model mark of SSDS as well. Thank you very much.

    See you soon!

    I support the opinion of Hüffer about SSDS and laptops.

    I replaced the spinner in my laptop HP 2011 with an SSD and it's like having a new machine.  It starts instantly and runs a lot faster, more I don't have to worry about the rotation drive going bad.

    An SSD is the best investment to improve the performance of your laptop.

    Good luck
