Need for Raid-1 Setup in Windows 7 operating system.

Aims to set up a House on RAID-1, accessible via Internet server in the future, hopefully with a domain name.
Refurb purchased HP A6528 and two 2 nine WD Black 750 GB HARD disk.
HARD drive connected to SATA 0 and SATA1.
Compatible RAID in the BIOS.
The machine restarted, you press F4, then Ctrl + I and creating a RAID volume using maximum (two volumes of 698 GB show as 'members')
Clean install Win7 Home Premium (64) obtained via the participation of the College via MSDN.
The installation program set aside space 100 MB 'reserved' and OS loaded in C:\ with a 698 GB boot volume.
Open disk management. As a single volume (volume0) is displayed. Right clicked and making 'dynamic', and rebooted.
Reopened on disk management, and fault tolerance indicates 'no '.
Tried to do a right click to "Extend Volume", but it has always been grayed out (I AM an administrator).
Repeat this process with the same results.
What Miss me to set RAID 1 fault tolerance?

Hi FSLoar,

Thanks for posting. If I understand your facility, you have a hardware RAID on your motherboard configuration. With this you will not be able to make another RAID using Windows. Because you did the RAID on a level of Windows don't control hardware and looks like it, it's just a disk. If the fault tolerance that you are looking for is actually already in place.

Because it is a hardware raid and not controlled by Windows software RAID, you will not be able to change all of the portions of the mirror and must perform these actions at the level of the BIOS/hardware. If you want to use Windows to control your RAID array you need to format both drives, break the hardware mirror. This will allow Windows to detect this than 2 hard drives. From there, you can go to disk management, convert dynamic disks, and then create your mirror.

I hope this helps. Shawn - Support Engineer - MCP, MCDST

    Hello.

    According to HP, they offer no drivers for Windows 7, but in many cases the driver for Vista works on Win 7, then you can try this. If you have 64-bit Windows 7, then download Vista(64-bit), if you have 32-bit Windows 7, download Vista.

    The drivers can be found here.

    HP does not currently have drivers for Windows 8. You probably won't need them. Windows 8 is not coming. It's here!

    Just do the installation on a spare hard drive and bring the original HARD drive to a safe place.

    . Windows 8 has drivers built in for most laptops and desktop computers. I did have to look for a driver in two facilities. One was an HP mini and the other was a Toshiba laptop.

  • Download VHD resizer for comments, Windows XP operating system and host operating system Windows 7


    People,

    Hello. I'm under VMPlayer 3. My OS is Windows 7 and the guest operating system is Windows XP.

    Because the virtual guest OS Windows XP hard drive is full, I need to decompress. http://wmtoolkit.com/files/folders/converters/entry87.aspx does not work.

    My question is:

    Can any folk provide a link to download VHD Resizer for guest Windows XP and Windows 7 host?

    Thanks in advance.

    First of all, is correct install VHD resizer in Windows 7 operating system and not guest OS Windows XP host?

    No it should not be installed in any to resize a VMware virtual hard drive.  The .vhd file extension is used with Microsoft virtulazition no VMware. (Does not mean a .vhd cannot be used, as it can however it not typical.)

    Secondly, what file is selected to resize?

    None like which is not how a VMware virtual disk gets developed from the interface of VMware Player!

    Resize a virtual hard drive via the VMware Player GUI is done using the Expand command on the Utilities menu, when you select the virtual hard disk under settings of the virtual machine on the material tab

    Suggest you only look in the help file in VMware Player!    VMware Player 3.x menu > help > Help topics > use of disks and drives > Virtual Machine disk storage > parameters of the hard disk to the virtual disks

    Once the disc has been extended then the virtual partition to be resized and Andre, I like to use GParted Live ISO Image.

    Thirdly, why no unoccupied hard disk in the virtual Windows XP computer after resizing settings completed?

    Not sure what you mean by "why no empty disc ', 'unoccupied '?  Screenshot of the Hardware tab for the target VM THAT could help explain what you mean by 'unoccupied '.  However if you try to resize a VMware virtual hard drive in VMware Player 3.x then extend the disk in the virtual machine settings, then use info to the link provided by André in the first reply in this thread!

  • I can't backup DVD for Windows Vista operating system due to the error of 0x8007001B

    I can't finish a DVD upward on my Windows Vista operating system.  This is due to an 0x8007001B error code.  I was unable to complete the fix to services.msu

    Hi mine,

    This isn't a question of MSE - there is a problem with Vista or your computer or your software backup or your DVD player or its drivers or something else. We are not the right people to answer your question and give you the best possible options and solutions - you have to talk to the experts.

    Please repost at: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_vista-system?page=1&tab=all&tm=1304884961900 where specialists who understand and focus to help with these issues will be more than happy to help you.

    Although not my area of expertise (and you're welcome to ignore it and just after to the other forum), I did do research in any case and believe that the problem involves the corruption on your hard drive (although I could certainly be wrong - it is more likely to be the case if the full error message includes "drive cannot find sector requested" but you don't get the full error message, so I don't know). To try to fix it, if that is the problem, follow these steps:

    Go to start / all programs / accessories / command prompt and right click on command prompt, and then click Run as administrator.

    While in the command prompt, type chkdsk /f /r and enter and let it run. They tried to set itself to run at the next reboot. Answer Yes and restart to run the program. It will scan and attempt to resolve any corruption or bad sectors on your hard drive and remove especially as a potential cause.

    If this does not work, test better clean your hard drive. To test your hard drive, check the manufacturer and try to diagnosis HD (http://www.carrona.org/hddiag.html) or this test: hard drive diagnostics tools and utilities (storage) - Corp of TACKtech (http://www.tacktech.com/display.cfm?ttid=287). If it passes the tests, there's probably nothing wrong with it and you must do to the other support forum. If it fails, which include in your post on the other forum and let them advise you how to proceed.

    I hope that the above solves the problem. If this isn't the case, I am confident, they can help you in the other forum, because that's what they specialize in. It would help if you posted the message Word for Word that is accurate and complete, including all codes. In addition, it would help them if you explain the difficulty you mention services involving (a link to the site where you found the solution or at least what exactly you did and what has happened or not happened when you tried). And if you've tried my suggestions above, include the results in your message (so they don't ask you to do it again and will be able to exclude).

    Good luck and best wishes!

  • It is not uncommon for me to have a half dozen + copies of a single image. I create these extra images that appear spontaneously myself this system should be obliging. I have 12 items and the Windows 7 operating system.

    I have 12 items and the Windows 7 operating system. It is not uncommon for me to have a half dozen + copies of a single image. I'm not creating these additional images myself, so must be the system. Deletion (including from the HDD) do not help. Can anyone help please?

    1. the only way to image files be automatically added to the catalog is to enable the option "watch folders" in the file menu and choosing not to have the Organizer warn you of any additions. If these files are already in the catalog they should be ignored, only new files should be added.

    2. otherwise, there is a downloader option to ignore duplicates when you import from card reader or the camera to avoid importing several times the same card.

    The organiser considers that the files are duplicated when they have the same "date taken" and the size in KB.
