• Cannot remove HARD disk configuration PERC 6i with use of the SAS drives foreign. Existing data are not important. Scratch reloading to redeploy the server.

  Dell Poweredge 2950 III with serial number note from the Admin: have the label removed according to the TOU > receipt readers traded since an identical poweredge almost eliminated. In the configuration of the PERC controller 0 6i utility, disk groups show as foreigners. Messages following the procedure to import the configuration, then remove before was not effective.

  I would like to simply clean configurations of VD for the readers and the controller. After it is deleted then next step is to set up a configuration I want. My new Setup is not relevant for this post. The goal and the only question is how to clear existing shared disk configurations.

  VD0 clear addition to figure 2 SAS PD/hard drives as virtual disk unique. RAID levels 0, status is offline, SMART status not = no error, County VD = 1, PD = 2 count, operation = none

  Is a similar to VD0 VD1

  other berries are currently empty.

  For initial troubleshooting I have removed all the HARD drive except a single disk on the server. This disc shows also as stranger.

  In the PERC 6i config utility:

  VD MGMT doesn't show CONTROLLER0 - no configuration is present. Choice of the F2 are Config. Foreign config based on availability. (Create new VD and manage preserved Cache are greyed out) Right pane of the screen indicates "foreign Config present, controller prop.: DG = 0, County VD count = 0, County of PD = 1".

  PD MGMT shows only the formatted Mo 139 K SAS single, foreign = State, SMART status not is no mistake, operation = none

  VIEW FOREIGNERS shows DG0 = foreign, Virtual disk 255 with DG count = 1. County of VD = 1, County of PD = 1

  I installed 3 of the disks individually rotating as a single HARD drive with similar results.

  WITH 2 HDD SAS installed only difference is VD Mgmt shows County DG = 0, County VD = 0, County of PD = 2.   View foreign shows VD255 prop: Raid 0, Raid = foreign status, size = na, operation = none. | Disk prop group. : VD Count = 1, County of PD = 2, Ded HS = 0 (because it does not exist).

  Thanks Chris. Problem is solved. I would like to Flash the firmware as precautionary measure? Still confused why initial in the VD Mgmt tab procedure has failed.

• Need help with my hard disk configuration

  Hi guys,.
  Ive read a lot about the best configuration of hard disk for my editing video pc... but I need some feedback. Here are my specs. Im running Windows 10 with this HD configuration. I use my system for Premiere Pro, Photoshop, Lightroom, and After Effects.

  1 SDS drive 250 GB operating system, program files, swap file

  2 HDD (sata III) of disk 2 TB stockmedia / assets / my documents

  Disc 3 HARD drive (sata III) projects 2 TB

  4 drive HARD drive (sata III) 750Go export/renders, PP previews

  5 HARD drives (sata III) of disk cache AE, PP, scratchdisk photoshop, captured 750Go audio/video media cache

  
  

  If it would be really beneficial to my performance, I also have another HARD drive disc (sataIII) 2 TB which I could build in the case.

  It looks all right? Or you guys change anything? I have a RAID configuration, but what I understand... RAID 3 or 5 would have need of more disks (same size preferred) and preferably a hardware controller. But my budget will not allow this for now.

  Thanks in advance for your comments guys...

  You probably already read this, but if you do not page Tweakers: Disk Setup

  you drive configuration looks good, you can use the windows resources monitor to determine if the readers are struggling as well.

  If I had to change something, I would try 2x2tb raid 0 (disk 2 and 3) for media/assets/projects using mbd raid (if your mbd supports raid). I might even try to add the spare hard drive 2 TB, 3x2tb RAID 0 for performance even more. If 'my documents' is just random storage (not for your active video projects), you can move to another drive out of the raid, as the 4 drive or another room to spare. Since you already have these parts, raid can be a good way to boost performance for free. any raid can add some risks more data loss, so you just make sure that your backups stick to the currents. You can save a copy of the project first (just the file .prproj) in a few different places at the end of your editing sessions, or use auto-enregistre to another location, to avoid having to save as much.

  Moreover a unique fast sata ssd is comparable to 3 hard drives in raid, so you could look (s) ssd, sata for better cheaper and simpler vs an expensive hardware raid card. SATA ssd prices keep falling off and show no signs of slowing down, so if/when you get some later, they could be even more affordable.

• After the hard disk configuration, system assigns an incorrect letter to the reader

  I've completely dumped my HDD and it washed.

  Configured the drive hard and re - format to NTFS with no partitions.

  I unplug everything not used during reinstallation except monitor, keyboard and mouse "Wired."

  Reinstalled XP from the disk.

  Guard system identifier 'E' like 'Local disk' or 'Hand' hard instead of using 'C '.

   

  I've "cleaned" my drive several times before but never this problem even without being able to correct a cleaning extra (s) until the disk correctly record labels.

   

  Why this time and what is the difficulty of obtaining the 'c' labeled as the 'Local' or 'hand drive '?

  Hello

  ·         You have several configured on the system start?

  This can happen if you have a multiboot system, or if there are multiple partitions on the disk.

  During the installation of XP, make sure that you select C: as the partition where you want to install the operating system. Then to comply once more he comply when it prompts you to install XP on the C: drive. Check whether the problem is resolved. I suggest you follow the steps mentioned in the article below.

• C220 M3 independent RAID / hard disk configuration

  Hi all

  We recently received a C220 1.5.3b M3 which will serve as a virtual machine for Cisco servers. I have difficulty getting the machine to detect the hard drive, which I added. It does even not show the hard drive in the boot option in the BIOs. I watched some of the related topic and found this: http://www.cisco.com/c/dam/en/us/products/collateral/servers-unified-com...

  The list of hard drives are given in table 11 of the document. At the end of the table, he States:

  Approved (1) the RAID Configurations on board, mezzanine cards and all RAID PCIe controllers

  If you have not selected the option upgrade integrated RAID (ROM5 or ROM55), a mezzanine card or a PCIe RAID controller on the internal disks (LSI MegaRAID 9271 - 8i or 9271CV-8i), you can select up to 4 drives SATA only which will be controlled with the only integrated SATA RAID controller.

  Otherwise, select up to eight SAS + SATA drives listed in table 11. You can mix SAS and SATA drives

  Does this mean C220 needs a RAID controller or a Mezzanine Card to detect a hard drive?

  Also, should we use hard drives in table 11?

  Thank you!

  Greetings.

  According the data sheet you have referenced, you may use any Sata disks listed with the controller on board.

  If you have the ROM5/ROM55 or LSI megaraid card, then you can use one of the disks SATA or SAS registered.

  If you bought the SAS drives, but strictly the sata controller integrated without the option ROM5/ROM55 chip, then do not see or be able to use the disks.

  If you use other readers what can be found on the data sheet, the system will not recognize the readers.

  If you have disks Sata and intend to use the built in software raid LSI, you will want to confirm that you have enabled the UCS ROM option (see http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/unified_computing/ucs/c/hw/C220/install/C220/raid.html#80418

  Note that the embedded software raid controller is not supported in VMware.

  Thank you

• Best hard disk configuration

  Hi guys, I'm fairly new APE9 and video editing in general. I see in some positions where you guys suggest to have more than 1 hard drive but no one talks about the actual optimal configuration.

  Let's say I have a drive of 500 GB hard run my win7 (C:\), if I add a hard drive of 160 GB in there (D:\) what should I run where?

  Thanks for the tips.

  Welcome to the forum.

  With the options you list, here are my thoughts.

  If the 160 GB is a bit on the small side, if it's fast, I would actually set up such as the system / boot disk and use the larger scratch discs, media and projects.

  The system / boot would have only the OS and programs and probably also to locate the swap file on the larger HARD drive. This last option would be only after the test. In addition, it depends on the number of programs I had installed. With some upper air (including several suites of Adobe), my 200 GB C:\ is used less than half, to 94 GB, and with a clean of emails and Documents, I could probably get that down for ~ 85 GB.

  If I have a 3 x 200 GB SATA II/o, I have found that my Page file did slightly better on my E:\, and I managed it statically to 10 GB for my OS Service Pack 3 XP - Pro w / 4 GB RAM max. If you have a 64 bit OS and physical load of RAM, you don't need the Page file to be almost as big.

  Now, if your 160 GB is slower, is not as fast a connection type that most great, etc., then all bets would emerge.

  I also agree with the diagram that Bob Peru related. I use the suggestions of prejudice when speaking on i/o with a poster.

  Also, I think that a 3 e/s x is optimal, with the OS and programs on C:\, media on D:\ and projects + Scratch disks on E:\. If the HARD drive is the same, then D:\ & E:\ can be reversed, their functions, with zero change in what either.

  With several HARD drives, we can go out, say exports and makes or maybe Audio separated from the video. For HD media, having a RAID 0, with a dedicated hardware controller will help things, but improving the performance, with more than one configuration of 3 x, will be not that big and when you start to add RAID popular with dedicated controller, especially with the built-in memory cards, price up really quickly.

  Good luck

• Hard disk interface question

  I try to add a second hard drive for a dimension 4700. Dell recommends a SATA2. On looking further, I see that there are 1.5 Gbps and 3.0 Gbps type disks. I also found as the SATA2

  term was used interchangeably with 3.0 but it isn't really. So, what should I look for in a second hard drive? I saw the posts referring to connect an ATA hard drive as a slave to the CD/DVD. If I go with a SATA drive where the other end of the cable SATA hook up? Is there an empty slot on the motherboard, or I need an adapter?

  
  

• The hard disk configuration

  I am waiting for hard drive prices come back down, and in the meantime I am installing a hard drive for my new build system. I'm a newbie to video editing and will be editing 1080 p MPEG-4 AVC / H.264 (Canon Rebel t2i). I have 8 GB of ram.

  Here's what I have available, I think they should be in square brackets >:

  60GB SSD (Corsair Force 3) < OS/progs >

  500GB 7200 RPM external (but connected via esata) < media/data >

  300 GB drive at 5400 RPM laptop drive < work >

  250 GB drive at 5400 RPM laptop <? swap file? >

  What is the recommended configuration for this? (it's just to last me for about 6 months)

  Thanks in advance

  Mushkin 8 GB DDR3

  MSI N460GTX-M2D1GD5/OC2 GeForce GTX 460 1 GB

  Corsair Force Series 3 CSSD-F60GB3A-BK 2.5 "SATA III SSD 60 GB

  Power PC and silent cooling, High Performance Mk II 750W 80PLUS Silver

  ASUS P8P67-M PRO LGA 1155

  Intel Core i5 - 2500K CPU (O.C.)
  

  Looks like you thought about her with the means at your disposal. Nothing wrong with this configuration and for your peace of mind, eSATA is as fast as the SATA.

• Hard disk Partition question

  I just bought this computer two days ago. I noticed after I put everything in place that the hard drive has been split in two. How can I send all the space of the D: drive on the C: drive? I tried to extend the volume, but it won't let me.

  Please see these images:

  Thanks for the help!

  Yes, on the data partition. It will then turn black, which means the unallocated space. You will be able to extend the partition to the OS after that.

• Satellite T130-hard disk/disk-Start Up question

  Hello

  I have a T130 2 years old that I use every day for work and have known no problem at all with him until a few days ago, when I noticed that it was taking longer than usual, to power.

  I checked all of my updates were up-to-date they are as far as I am aware of the Tempro and Windows. I did an AVG scan and nothing came out of the ordinary there and I'm still more than a third of the space on my hard drive.

  Everything was going well for a few days then yesterday when I tried to turn on the laptop wouldn't turn on at all--after several tries, on what he finally came and I kept it in sleep/stand by mode until I find what is happening. I ran the Diagnostic PC tool and everything is coming as a PASS except for the hard disk which appears in case of FAILURE. My USB pen is not registered when I try to use it. That said when I checked the PC Health Monitor, it says that my HARD drive was working and that my hard drive was 'good '.

  I assume from the above that there can only be one disk hard question - what is my next step? This kind of thing is easy to repair? Am I covered for what is a matter of product and less than five years, since I bought the laptop?

  Thanks for any help.

  Hello

  If the HARD drive is not present in the BIOS, you will need to replace the HARD drive with a new one.
  Do you know how to access the BIOS?
  Switch on and press the F2 key. Now, you should check the first page of the BIOS. Usually the CD/DVD drive and the HARD drive must be included with all the details.
  If the BIOS could not recognize the HARD drive, this means that the HARD drive is faulty.

  To my knowledge, you could use a simple 2.5 HDD.
  Here is a beautiful statement containing a few photos and film how to replace HDD on T130 series.

• If the hard disk dies this affect router/WiFi?  I know that this seems to be a strange question.

  If the internal hard drive dies this affect router/WiFi?  I know that this seems to be a strange question.  Logically, they seems to be two independent functions.  However, since I do not understand how it works...

  I plan to spend my old airport extreme (about 7 years) at an airport new Time Capsule or Airport Extreme for better wi - fi range.

  Where the internal hard disk come into your Airport Extreme or Time Capsule dying airport upgrade?

  If the disc is dead, it will be not not to be replaced. This should be done first before to other devices.

• Satellite A100-049: Question about HARD disk space

  My new laptop has a 120 GB hard drive. It is partitioned into 2 drives. My question is that the C drive has only 2 GB of software on it yet it shows 18 used and only 37 GB free. Can someone tell me why it does not show 2 and 55 GB free.

  Hello

  > My question is that the C drive has only 2 GB of software top

  I put t believe that! Always is that the device was shipped with Vista or am I wrong?
  I installed Vista on my laptop and the Vista installation needs about 17 18 GB on the HARD disk. Then why you are suggesting there is only 2 GB?

  You said 37GB free on the HARD drive. For me it ok s. 55 GB GB 37 GB = 18
  What's the problem?

• Satellite A200 - Question on RAM and HARD disk partitions

  Maybe it's in the wrong section... I do not know.

  I've never owned an OEM operating system and I do not understand why the HARD disk is partitioned, 90, 2, 90 (who thought of that?).

  The thing is that I have to format and partition differently (since I dual boot Linux) and need to create a structure more like 40,40,100 or such. (100 in fat32, so data is available for both)

  Now I wonder what data should I keep these readers. There is a folder called Toshiba on the C:\ drive that seems to have the drivers and such, some wallpapers and who knows what else. Then there's the WinRE called D: drive which has a kind of sdi and wim files.

  Another question, if I buy the 2 GB that is listed in the compatible options for my laptop (A200 - 28 p)
  Link: [http://uk.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/jsp/individualOptions.do?service=UK&OPTION_ID=138301&t oshibaShop = true & SelCategorie = 4700]
  It will match the 2 GB already in the laptop? It will void the warranty anyway?

  Hello

  > I've never owned an OEM operating system and I do not understand why the HARD disk is partitioned, 90, 2, 90 (who thought of that?).
  I assume you are using Vista.
  The 2 GB partition is a hidden partition which contains the data and the backup files in Vista. This partition will be automatically created during the installation of Vista.

  On the other partition 90GB.
  Well, this partition (partition of data) can be used to store files such as photos, movies, personal documents, etc. it s always recommended to partition a large HDD in more partition. This improves performance because the OS can access files much faster.

  Of course, you can change the size of the partitions. In Vista, you can change this in disk management.

  Regarding the upgrade of RAM;
  The laptop seems to supports the Intel® PM965 chipset and it manages 4 GB of RAM. It seems that you could use a 2 GB of RAM in one slot.

• Pavilion p100dx: need to HARD disk for my pavilion p100dx configuration

  Hello team,

  Recently my hard drive of the laptop broke and now I need to replace my hard drive P100DX Pavilion.

  To do this, I want to know the configuration of HARD disk as

  1. 2.5 or 3.5
  2. What is SATA or SATA-no?
  3. SATA is compatible for it?
  4. What is the size of the HARD drive that needs to be? -height, length and width.
  5. Seagate HARD drive would be compatible.
  6. pointers for the HARD drive to buy.

  Thanks in advance.

  Hello

  It's a laptop HP Pavilion 15-p100dx ?

  http://support.HP.com/au-en/document/c04463224

  If Yes, then

  1. it uses standard 2.5 "HDD.

  2. it is a SATA HDD,

  3 SATA III (or 3) and SATA II (or 2) is compatible.

  4. all standard HDD laptops would use the same width and length, thickness (hright) can be varry slightly, but your laptop supports 7 mm or 9.5 mm. Better use 9.5 mm because you don't need a frame fill to increase his height.

  5. Yes, HP doesn't produce HARD drives for laptops, it uses Seagate, Toshiba and a few other brands.

  6. you can buy in any computer store BestBuy or Amazon, Newegg...

  Kind regards.

  What is raid? A large number of people I know use raids.

  RAID 1 (mirroring) is not a backup solution. RAID 1 uses two or
  Several readers, each one duplicate of the other, to provide redundancy,
  no backup. It is used in situations (almost always inside)
  companies, not in homes) where any city cannot be tolerated.
  because the way it works is that if a disk fails the other takes
  more seamlessly.

  Although some people thing of RAID 1 as a backup technique, it is
  what it is, because it is subject to a simultaneous loss of the
  original and many of the main dangers facing the mirror
  your data - serious power, close to the lightning seeds, virus
  attacks, stolen computer, etc. Most companies that use RAID 1
  also have a solid plan of external backup in place.
