I have problems with resynchronizing mirrored volumes on several occasions.

I freshly installed Windows 7 on my laptop HP HDX 18, which is a few months old and apart from the question here works perfectly.  It has two identical WD 320 disks that are new and without defects.

I'm instructed IT, working in the industry and have written everything from device drivers to business applications, and I don't think I'm doing something particularly intelligent here.

I installed Windows on one of the disks.  After the installation is complete, I converted each of the readers to be dynamic and then set up the mirroring / scratches I want.

The disks are configured with three volumes:
Volume 1: 100 MB system reserved (on two mirrored disks)
Volume 2: 248 C: GB (mirrored on two discs)
Volume 03:50 Gb F: drive (spread over two discs)

Once this is completed I left the machine alone for an hour or two until the finished mirror and records showed as being in good health.

Now, Windows 7 does not come with all the required drivers for this laptop so I have to go to the HP website, download and install the drivers manually.

The problem seems to be that whenever I install a driver that requires a reboot this seems to cause the C: drive in the mirror to get out of sync. So when the next machine starts both players see the place in the management tool of windows disk with a symbol of alert against them.  As a result, I find myself then not being able to do much for the next hour or so, while he Resync.  Finally, readers show as being in good health again.

I don't have much to install everything useful software (apart from Kaspersky A / V), but if that's what I'm going to have to endure to have mirrored volumes I as well not worth it - it's just too much pain.  I would rather organize properly and scheduling backups during the night.

Someone at - it an idea of why this is happening and if Windows 7 creates logs anywhere that may indicate why I'm going to have to endure all that nonsense?

I used software RAID in Ubuntu on this laptop before and it has never been this difficult - it just worked.

Clementine, good call.

RAID of Sotware was (IMHO) a hack major and the subject of disk i/o and synchronization issues. (cache on each drive settings can cause problem, BTW).
Without a controller dedicated to do the job, the operating system is forced to make way more that it should.

Use an external hard drive with integrated function System Image (remember to burn the recovery boot disk) and check the logs from time to time.
Add to that an irreplaceable data offsite backup and you about covered that you can be.

Good luck! VP Tech Services

  • I ran CHKDSK, the report tells me I have problems with the file system, usn journal. ___

    I ran CHKDSK, the report tells me that I have problems with the sys file. I ran CHKDSK/F, it is said it fixed the problem but I ran CHKDSK again and it shows that the same listed the issues.

    Describe how you run chkdsk.

    That is what the report said: you have problems with the sys file?

    CHKDSK examines the disk space and use of the disk for the table of allocation of files (FAT) and NTFS file systems. CHKDSK provides information specific to each file system in a situation report. The report shows the errors found in the file system. If you run chkdsk without the /f on an active partition command line option, it can report errors because it cannot lock the drive. You should use chkdsk occasionally on each disk to check for errors.

    If you run chkdsk from a command prompt while Windows is running, it can report errors or it may not report errors - and it may report different
    Errors each time you run.  If this is the case, it could just be the way you run chkdsk.

    Here's how Microsoft explains this observation:

    "... CHKDSK may report that the disc is damaged, even when there is no
    current real corruption. This can happen if NTFS happens to modify
    areas of the disc on behalf of some programme activities that CHKDSK is
    review at the same time. To check a volume correctly, the volume
    must be in a static state, and the only way to ensure that the State is
    to lock the volume. CHKDSK only locks the volume when /F or/r (which
    involves the 'F') is specified. For example, you may need to run CHKDSK more than
    time so that it can complete all the steps in read-only mode. »

    If you run chkdsk from a command prompt, you are not the necessary static state and you can encounter errors "when no real corruption is present. This is how it works when you use this way.  Any changes made to a NTFS file system modifies the USN Journal.  If you are not in a static state, your USN change Journal probably all the time, so what you see (says something like that) can be quite normal.

    Two ways to ensure that you are in a static state is to run chkdsk from the Recovery Console or to schedule a chkdsk to run the next time that the system
    Restart by answering Yes to the question:

    Would you want to check this volume to be the next time the system restarts?

    If chkdsk reports errors when running in a static state, the errors should be investigated, resolved or explained.  This may take several
    chkdsk runs all of the issues and some problems cannot be resolved by chkdsk.

    If chkdsk runs the next time the system is restarted, the activity and the result will be displayed in the application event log.  Look in the Application log for
    Winlogon events and a source have the date and the duration nearby time chkdsk.

    It is in fact a chkdsk additional reading if you want to learn about it and it will explain everything you see and why your expectations exceed reality.

  • Satellite Pro A120: I have problems with the installation of the graphics driver for W2k

    I installed windows 2000 on an A120, the system is fully packed and service updated before I even start to install the necessary drivers, I am unable to restart the system. I once, install as recommended drivers that I have problems with the graphics driver because it will not be installed because it requires a reboot and then I can't install new programs that require a restart that the driver has not been installed correctly.

    The laptop is a Pro A120, age of 1 week and came with XP home, because of this toshiba will not offer me support I changed the o/s even though they obviously support 2000 on this laptop, because they provide the drivers.

    Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

    Hello

    Did you use and install the drivers from the Toshiba driver page right?
    The drivers of Toshiba W2k for Satellite Pro A120 have been published and are ready!

    But please pay attention to the Toshiba drivers.
    There are two different sets of Satellite Pro A120, with different drivers W2k!
    After choosing the good laptop and download the drivers please follow the proper installation order that is indicated in the document "installation instructions"! Check it!
