My Dell XPS 8300 hard drive fails? Intel Rapid Storage detects the error when starting upwards.

My computer (dell xps 8300) has recently frozen and when it restarts it scored one of my RAID 0 hard drives as being a mistake. Surprisingly, my computer still works as always and after an investigation, I traced the gel to vuze trying to check a file after he was already down. I deleted the files causing the freeze and have not yet encountered any more freezing problems. But I'm still very worried, so I ran a disk check, who quickly said the disc is clean, and I also ran tests HD (Long & short) dell support center several times and they always say that readers are working properly. Today, I ran a checkdisk windows another who had a lot more time but seem to come clean. But to restart the computer disk was marked later once again as being a mistake. So I ran the tests of short and long and difficult road dell support center, once again, and the sound still saying everything is working properly. I then decided to try to start some other diagnostics of hard disk: seagate seatools and rescuer of Western Digital. The player has passed the tests of the Seatool, but almost immediately failed the tests of rescuer WD giving the error that there are too many bad sectors. Any advice on how to proceed would be much appreciated!

Lack of an operating system is the message you get when in fact there is a properly peripheral storage seen by your BIOS, but it is not a valid partition with a valid boot sector table.

I fear that you may have installed the operating system on a RAID-0 configuration and only now try to start from one half of the band?  Yes, you can WD 500 GB RAID-0 an and a 1 TB Seagate together.  It would be foolish (same capacity as a single player, but all the falls of RAID-0) but the computer doesn't know any better.

The RAID configuration (breaking apart the RAID) must arrive before the installation of the o/s.  The RAID/mobo card is one of the early stages of the process, he takes these 2 physical disks and mounted as a storage to the motherboard, allowing it to boot from it etc.

No matter what is happening currently, my advice would be to remove the RAID from the system discs.  You don't want a broken drive / failure connected, even if you do not use it because the computer will continue to warn / complain the RAID broke, the startup BIOS will be keep showing you a disc is seen mistakes SMART, and finally the failed drive can degrade to the point it actually damage something.

  • XPS 420 - HARD drive failed, performing a clean install of Vista on the new HARD drive.

    Hey everybody,

    My on my XPS 420 HARD drive failed and I'm trying to reinstall Vista using the disc that came with my machine back when I bought it.

    I bought a new WD10EZEXAZ (1 TB Serial ATA HDD), he rose in the same dwelling as my old HDD (ST3750630AS * Barracuda 7200.11*). I start the PC and goto Setup, it recognizes the HARD drive in the blue menu.

    Then I boot with the CD of Vista that came with my system. I proceed as indicated through the following url:

    Clean install of Vista

    After its copied files, expanded the files, installed features, updates installed... it goes to "Complete Installation" and throws an error message: "Windows Setup could not configure Windows to run on a hardware on this computer."

    I tried a few things I've seen posted on the internet, including trying to run msoobe.exe via command line. When I did, it allows me to Setup user... but finally I get sent to this message of error or another telling me I have to reinstall Windows.

    I read else where some hard disks may not compatible with the Dell disk provides with my OEM machine. If this is the case, can someone advise? I really didn't want to spend $100 one another on a Windows 7 disc, but I feel like this may be my only option... but even in this case, I'm not so sure this will work or the other.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated,

    UPDATE *.
    Did some more research, I discovered my new drive HARD is an advanced HDD format... not sure if it has nothing to do with my problems (by www.wdc.com/advformat Vista should not need to perform the work before the OS being installed), but thought I would mention it.

    Thanks again for any help.

    ****************

    Seems that I found the solution to my problem.

    Problem has been fixed by going into the BIOS and change the Mode of Port SATA to IDE/native/AHCI native. After that, the installation worked without any problems. Seems that Windows Setup did not like the port mode is set to RAID.

    Just thought I would post back everybody incase has had the same problem.

    I had some problem a long time ago, I forget exactly the error and the situation, but I think it was a failing hard drive. Make sure that your backup is current before you do anything else to fix. If there is a problem with the structure of raid, you might be able to rebuild the raid and it works again ok. you could also try to click on the reset to normal disk, or try the check and repair function... If this is the beginning of the problems with this drive, it can continue to cause problems or fail completely one day.

    Here are some manuals from intel and you can look through their forums for similar problems.

  • No command in Intel Rapid Storage after the reset of a device of available Cache

    There are in my book of 15-4010nr XT the spectrum of the HP TouchSmart Ultrabook 1 HDD and 1 SSD (30 GB).

    The SSD was initially used for acceleration in Intel Rapid Storage.

    But I zero it available in Intel Rapid Storage and now I can not "activate the acceleration' even once, because there is no such a command in the interface of the program - it only shows the disk information in the 'status' and 'Manage', but no orders at all (except Acivate LED). How to help?

    Hi Alice-Wonder,

    Thank you for your request, I will do my best to help!

    I understand that after changing the SSD for available in the Intel Rapid Storage, you are no longer able to activate the acceleration once again, since the command is no longer available. State Manange without any option of the command.

    I suggest you do a restore back before making this change. Using Microsoft System Restore (Windows 8).

    If that did not help, I would do a factory recovery.  Performing a recovery system (Windows 8) HP.

    During the recovery process, you will receive a prompt to back up your data to avoid loss. If you did not recently, I suggest do you it now.

    Restoring files that were supported by using HP Recovery Manager (Windows 8) upward.

    Good luck!

  • iMac 27 "mid-2011 hard drive failed, fan to full after the removal of HARD drive

    iMac (27 inch, mid 2011)

    2.7 Ghz i5

    12 GB of RAM

    I have a fault where the HARD drive fan runs at max speed (RPM 5431, 51 * C temp).

    The first symptom was a rattling noise from the factory 1 TB HARD drive, which has disappeared from the system, to be replaced by a disk of 4 GB in size. Then the fan started running at max speed.

    A few months ago, I installed a 2nd drive HARD, an SSD and use this to all the data, so the 1 TB drive HARD original was basically unused and empty. To try and stop the fan and also run the disk diagnostics failed I've removed it from the iMac. However the HARD drive fan is always full.

    I ran the Apple Hardware Test and received the error message: 4SNS/1/40000000: TH00 - 9,000

    Given the primary SATA HDD is now removed, I also set the temperature probe? Are there other fixes to this problem of fan? I didn't intend on replacing the HARD disk immediately that this is not necessary at this stage.

    Thank you!

  • RAID 1 active but Intel Rapid Storage doesn't?

    Hello

    Have a new Dell XPS8700, 4th gen i7. The motherboard is Intel 8 series C220 - Z87

    I have a 1 TB Seagate drive which has Windows 8 on it and WD two hard drives of 2 TB. I formatted the two WDs and selected the RAID in the BIOS. I chose the HDs of WD to create a RAID 1 array with CTRL + I. Windows 8 does not recognize, I went to disk management, and create a simple volume. The volume has been formatted (not quick format) and now it shows as healthy Partition. I guess that it is ready to use, because Windows Explorer now shows as a HD 2 TB in size.

    My question is, keeps Intel Rapid Storage, arise the "you may have a problem with your hardware" I go take a look, and the only readers who are are the original system 1 TB drive and the DVD drive. No sign of the RAID 1 volume I hit refresh, but it does not appear. I'm going to report and HDs system all appear. What do you think is happening? How can I have Rapid Storage show the RAID volumes? Thank you in advance.

    I could make this work. The only way I could do work needed to install an another HD 1 TB I had in hand, select RAID in the BIOS, do a quick CTRL + I and create a volume with two 1 TB disks. This erased Windows and data on both drives (contrary to what said the Dell technician). Had to reinstall Windows on this volume. Once done, TSRI saw volume.

    Then I reentered the TSRI (without needing to restart or to deal with the BIOS and CTRL + I) and created another volume w / two 2 TB disks - this time, he actually asked if I wanted to keep the data on one of the disks. This would have useful had I not as well data reformatted all 2 TB disks in trying to configure raid earlier. I have backups on the third HD but it would have saved a lot of time if I had not gone through the previous steps and did not remove everything on these two discs.

    I know that's not logical, but the Dell representative was probably right, for some reason, the system does not allow only a single Windows system drive and a RAID 1 with two drives. What I did above was a work around, but it should work fine. I now mirror both the system's hard drive and hard drive data.

  • Area 51 R2 - controller Dual HDD - Intel Rapid Storage questions

    I have here a system of area 51 R2 (new). After power on, I went to check the options available in the bios. I was surprised to see that there is no way to change the way Intel SATA AHCI/RAID controller that I found bizarre. After installing the OS on the SSD while keeping the HARD disk as a data disk, I noticed that the system comes with 2 different controllers.

    The first, running in AHCI mode, is an Intel C600 + / C220 + party controller, while the secondary is a onboard Intel RAID controller mode normal (can not get the exact chip). It seems that the STRANGE and the two SSD 2.5 "put in place (SATA4 and SATA5) are plugged into the controller AHCI while the other 3 3.5" HDDs (SATA1, SATA2, SATA3) slots connectors are all on the SATA RAID controller.

    While this will create a RAID with any installed HARD or SSD installed in slots 3.5 "drive, you cannot create a RAID of 2 2.5" SSD or HARD drive using their location designed in the case. And if you want to create an SSD RAID, you need to get your readers to a location 3.5 "using 2.5" to 3.5 "adapter.

    FIRST QUESTION:
    -Why are there 2 different controllers instead of using only one? Why not as another system, use a simple controller 6 SATA3 ports. If it is of split the possible performance for the SSD's in RAID AHCI mode on hard drives, which almost locks to make an SSD RAID by using the default locations. I know you can just reroute/reconnect the SATA connectors to make it fit, but it's just extra Needless to work on the system.

    SECOND QUESTION:
    -Why we cannot change or the other controllers in the bios mode? What happens if I want to have 2 x SSD in RAID mode for my games while having 2 x HDD also in RAID for my OS? I can't because everything is divided into 3 / 3 for ports and no way to make 2 different RAID systems unless I have buy a 3rd party RAID PCI-e card and use instead.

    Now, here's something else, I discovered. Both controllers have need for different type of Intel Rapid Storage has to be installed, but you can not get either to work along with the other application. The C600 + / C220 + controller requires Intel Rapid Storage Company install the driver 'correct' and the application will run only if you disable the RAID controller. You will see that the STRANGE and the two SSD connected using the application. If you re-enable the RAID controller, the application will give and error and will refuse to start.

    The RAID controller on the other side requires normal Intel Rapid Storage install the driver and application. The application will run only if the driver generic windows is installed for the AHCI controller or is installed when you install the Intel Chipset inf utility (showing C610 / X 99 AHCI controller). The application will launch and show all 3 of the hard disks connected to the RAID controller. It will crash if you try to run it when the driver IWH suitable for the installed AHCI controller.

    What is the idea behind this? This whole business of 2 controller, you cannot change the AHCI/RAID mode on either and only 3 ports for each controller. In addition both controlled by different versions of Intel Rapid Storage and you can not have both installed at the same time so you have to use generic on one or the other drivers if you want to use them. Looks like this last generation of Alienware were not really thought to become with the creation of the weird storage options (which includes the option WITHOUT RAID for R2 of Alienware systems 15/17) which locks the user away from opportunities that other less expensive systems (XPS/optiplex) have at the base!

    It's really disappointing. I have a R4 M17x at home (which was 3D until the video card update) and I'm still in love with this laptop, but I continue to be discouraged in buying any of the new States with all these weird things being disabled or locked down the value of the systems.

    You will probably get a better response if you re - post it in the forum of the Club of Alienware .

    Keep it short and simple.

  • Technology Intel Rapid Storage from BIOS

    I have an Aspire S5 with a 128 GB SSD. The SSD is seen in the laptop as two 64 GB drives and is configured as RAID0 as default. At one point the RAID has not and I tried factory reset, but the laptop would not get into the recovery mode (by pressing ALT + F10 and all variants of ALT/CTRL/F keys) then I reinstalled manually with a USB key.

    In the BIOS, both drives are considered to be of 64 GB, but Windows only a drive on which I have installed is considered 64 GB, it is still considered the RAID drive (128 GB). It is not usable because I need to format it first, but I dare not do this. I see that the recoverypartition is still on it, but since in RAID0 RAID0, I'm assuming that all data on this partition Ghost is not usable in some way.

    When starting the laptop I get the fast Intel Rapid Storage Technology technology (press CTRL + I), and it is said that the RAID has failed, listing the two disks (partitions), one of them as a member and the other (the one I reinstalled Windows on) not as a member. So I deleted this configuration and recreate and reinstall Windows again. But when I deleted the configuration I can access any more to technology Intel Rapid Storage Technology, the guest never happen! It just directly boots into Windows. By pressing CTRL + I on startup does not, probably because the FIRST is not loading...

    I'm going to assume that the recoverypartition disappeared forever, since I have already reinstalled on one of the partitions, but I'd like to at least get a RAID running again.

    TL; DR - technology Intel Rapid Storage Technology itself uninstalled from the Board of Directors, how can I enable it again?

    If you are not using windows 7, I strongly suggest you to re - install under UEFI.

    I suggest you update the BIOS if no update for your S5 is available, perhaps this may solve your problem of TSRI:

  • New Dell XPS 8300 constantly lock up... Help

    Hi, I have bought and received last week a new XPS 8300... Intel Core i5-2300, 8 GB of RAM... of the big problems right off the bat.

    The computer hangs regularly completely, making the mouse + keyboard is useless, and the only way out is to do a hard reboot (button for 5 seconds to turn it off, then turn it back on). There is no blue screen of death, rather the image on the monitor just freezes. What happens once per hour, which is totally unacceptable. There is no apparent trigger, it occurs while I'm on the Internet, while I'm in MS office, while the screen saver is on, etc.

    At first I thought that it could be a driver problem with the monitor (my Samsung, Dell no), but I installed the proper drivers and it still occurs. Then I thought it could be malicious software (even on a new computer), but a thorough analysis revealed nothing. I'm afraid now that it is a problem of the CPU heat and took to temporarily put a fan life-size in the face of the case of the Tower, which is already well ventilated. This has apparently slowed the fair of the grip, but they still arise. I have already installed a few programs and transferred a few files and really don't want to go through the hassle of referred to Dell for weeks.

    Any thoughts? Anyone with similar problems? It's maddening.

    Good news: the new video card works great.

    Problem: Freeze the system hard. To see if you're hard frozen, press [CAPSLOCK] - If your keyboard led doesn't change, then you're hard frozen.

    Overview of the steps:

    * Full system reinstall twice

    * All the drivers reinstalled twice (DELL and manufacturer)

    All change memory (and back)

    * Supply voltage test

    * Test memory full w / using Diagnostics: tester of Dell Diagnostics Memory Diagnostic Windows, Linux (Hiren s)

    * Checking the system with the Dell Diagnostics.

    * CPU - Z checking to ensure this chipset was not in the recall list.

    After all the Frost was still involved. So with the system in the State of origin (via Dell Restore), I installed a 9800GT graphics card and the gel stopped. I checked the ATI again, freezing, older drivers still froze. Reference Dell shipped a GTX560ti and the system works perfectly.

    It is not a widespread report of all cards ATI in i7 systems does not so I don't think it's just a driver problem, I think that the problem is related to this chipset supporting not communication with the GPU via the ATI drivers.

    Solution: Replace video card with Dell supplied GTX560 ti

    ----

    Note: For a few users NVIDIA with the gel, please follow all the troubleshooting procedures in hand with Support from Dell. Likely to start site: drivers, Ram, video card, storage.

    I hope everyone has good luck with them!
