How to erase the hard drive, foreign State in T630 with H730 PERC controller

I recently bought a Poweredge T630 Server computer configured with a PERC H730 controller and two 1 TB SATA (raid 1) drives.

The controller H730 being compatible with no dell certified readers, I bought 2 WD red label records to add more storage space.  The problem I have is it H730 one of the 2 WD drives senses as a 'foreign' drive  Under "available tasks", I see only two options, "Blink" and "Unblink.  Unlike other HDD WD, the controller does not allow me even an option to convert the capable RAID drive.  This only happens to one of the two WD drives. The WD with 'Foreign State' drive is not defective or damaged.  How can I clear the foreign flag on one of the two WD drives so that I can convert the two disks in RAID ready status.

Hello

You have a foreigners view tab when you are in the bios H730? If you do, you should be able to use ctrl + N to access this screen, select the controller, press F2 and go to foreign config and have the ability to clear the foreign configuration.

    Since you have a Dell and a recovery CD and not a recovery Partition, check how many partitions you need by using disk management:

    http://www.theeldergeek.com/disk_management.htm

    In case you have a partition with the operating system and a partition of the utility partition, I would only recommend formatting the partition from the OS. The Partition utility can be very useful.

  • How to access the hard drive USB on E3000? Am I missing something?

    I have my router configuration fine to the internet, as well as the media server.  I can't understand how to access the hard drive of my laptop, however.  The manual says to put 192.168.1.1 in the field the address of windows Explorer, but it gives me just the 'Setup' page for the router.

    Am I missing something simple?  I use Windows XP.

    Click on start - go to start > Run/start search and type "\\192.168.1.1" (without the quotes) and press on enter and it should ask the user name and password, the user name and password, use "admin" all lower case, and then click Ok... Now you should be able to see your USB... You must make a right click on it and select "Map network drive" and check the Enable box and below click Finish... It will map the USB on your computer... Once done, you will be able to send and receive data from your computer to the USB...

  • Command line after erasing the hard drive

    I work for a charity and have inherited a HP Compaq 6735 s in which the HD has been erased. I have no recovery disks. Simple question - how do the command line? The start menu is exactly that, a menu. Can I go out to a command line?

    To run a command, you must first run a code it-such as files on the hard drive or a bootable floppy. There is no file on a hard drive wiped. Start with a Windows or other bootable media diskette.

    You should be able to get the installation of HP media. Give them a call.800 - 334-5144 if you are in the United States or to the CA.

  • wipedrive tool allows to erase the hard drive

    Hello

    is there problem may occur if I erase all the % of files100 (the system vista, retrieving files... files) from the hard drive by wipedrive tool

    ?? and install windows 7

    I have a compaq presario V6000

    Just use the W7 installation disc to clean the disc. I always recommend what he got rid if Vista entirely. In this way there is no chance of getting errors because you're from "unallocated space" as if you put in a new hard drive of bran. Do the usual and create recovery disks in case you go back to Vista and of course to back up all your personal stuff to be reinstalled later.

    There is also a file on drive "C" called SwSetup which you must save it. Here are your drivers for Vista which will work in W7 and most importantly is the software that will not have the W7 installation disc, such as Microsoft Works, and I'm guessing that Cyberlink DVD suite. It is a very useful file.

    Once, you save all the things I said, then go for the clean installation. You will have less problems in the end.

    Here's a good tutorial on how to do a clean install of Cheryl. There a screen shot too.

    http://pcsupport.about.com/od/OperatingSystems/SS/Windows-7-clean-install-part-1.htm

    After installation, the first driver you want to load is your video card driver.

    I took a quick glance and there is no drivers for your model in W7, but like I said your Vista drivers should work fine.

    If this does not work you can always roll back to Vista with your recovery of the disc that I asked you to do.

    Just to answer your question, I wouldn't wipe drive. In fact, it is not clean the disk. Filled it with a bunch of useless information so no one can retrieve what was already on the disk before. Wipe drive is used if you ever decide to take your computer to the recycling depot.

    Who does not resemble a very stable place to put a new OS if you use Wipe drive.
