Passage from 1 disc to disc 4 raid 5 T - 300 SBS 2008
You need to change 1 disk RAID to 4-drive raid 5 without the backup and restore. What process and procedure would you use? Background, I did volunteer help an organization to reconfigure their SBS 2008 Server. Last year they received a T - 300 Dell running SBS 2008 with 10 licenses (for free). The Organization has nine people. Now for the downside. The machine has 1-250 GB hard drive and 4 GB of RAM. The hard disk is divided into a 75 GB c drive and the rest is a D drive for data. The c-drive is completely full (only 100 MB of free space) and the d drive - has only 5 GB of space. They run AD print, file, and SQL. No Exchange or SharePoint. Initially, they had backup in the cloud, but because the software is running on the c drive they removed. They now use the Windows backup on a USB key. They have hundreds to spend to improve. I'll probably update the RAM of 4 GB to 8 GB and buy 3-250 GB disks to create a raid 5 machine and expand space. The machine T-300 Dell comes with a hardware raid perc raid controller is possible. I also found the same Seagate drives as what is in the machine now. I normally, how to back up the hard drive, format, and create the raid scenario 5 from scratch, then reinstall, but due to certain circumstances beyond my control, I have very little time. My plan b is to create a 3 disk raid 5 for the d drive software and use a partition manager to resize the c-dive. Is there a healthy way of mind until his presentation the raid 5 from the single disc?
You said you had a "PERC"... "PERC" in a T300 (PERC 6 / i) does not support non RAID, so if you use a PERC 6, your single drive must be a single drive RAID 0, which means that you CAN add disks to the system and reconfigure your disk 1 0 4 drive RAID 5 RAID on the fly. You will need the software OpenManage Server Administrator (OMSA) installed to do this. OMSA MUST be installed on the C: drive, which may complicate your scenario. If you have not already OMSA is installed, you can use OMSA Live to initiate the reconfigure statement. You can also move the d: pagefile in order to free up enough space to install OMSA (IF you have not already moved it for reasons of space).

Cannot restore my Tecra A10 from recovery disc
Hello
I'm having a problem restoring my C disk from a disk image. The Toshiba HARD drive recovery utility seems to have disappeared from my computer.
When I followed the instructions for restoring (be it by pressing 0, or F8 during startup to access the HARD drive recovery utility) I finally get a message saying"The creation of means of recovery is impossibe! File recovery HARD drive on the second disc of the first hard drive not found. There is no valid disk HARD recovery environment on this computer. »
(I get a similar message if I try to open the Toshiba recovery disc creator in the start menu)
Because this does not work, I tried using recovery discs that I have made previously using the same utility. I insert the disk and start the computer (according to instructions), but nothing happens and it starts Windows normally. How can I use these discs?
My laptop is a Tecra A10 16 d Windows vista professional.
Any help would be appreciated, thanks
As much as I know saved on HARD drive recovery image can't disappear. I guess you did a few exchanges of structure of HARD drive and now recorded image is not found by the wizard of HARD drive recovery or Toshiba Recovery Disk Creator. Both of these tools know where to look for it, but if they do not find specific markers you will get this message.
Now the only option for you is the use of recovery disks.
Do you use this disk for the first time now?
When you check the contents of the disc in Windows Explorer you will see the content?Then try to boot using the created disc. Start Notepad, and then press F12. When the boot menu appears on the screen, place the disc in the ODD, choose the CD/DVD drive on the list and press ENTER.
What happens when you do this?

How to install Windows 7 from the disc
I need to know how to install the Windows 7 Home premium OEM version from the installation disc. I didn't know when I bought it on EBay, it is a generator system copy. I need to access the custom option to reinstall the full version of Home Premium on the ultimate version, which is not valid because I didn't know he could go only on a single computer. Anyway, if anyone could help me by allowing me to know where to find instructions on how to install Windows 7 Home Premium OEM version from the installation disc, I would be grateful. Or if you can send me the instructions, would be great.
Change the BIOS so that the DVD drive is the first boot device. Save the BIOS change (exit and save) then insert the DVD and follow the instuctions. Note: OEM media can perform an installation "Custom"and clean. "

PowerEdge 2950 extra on the disc no RAID... ?
Hello
Our good ol PE2950 ' came with two 73 GB drives in raid. It's not in use, but I wonder if I can plug an additional 300 GB drive in third place and save it as a single drive non-raid.
Is this possible? If so, how to do that correctly?
If it is not possible, can I (of) the two 73 GB drives since the raid and add the 300 GB as a non-raid drive...?
Thaks for comments on this
concerning the Tor
Depends on your RAID controller.
If you have a 5/6 SAS, you can add a drive non-RAID.
If you have a PERC 5/6, it does not support the RAID/JBOD; all disks must be in a matrix RAID (virtual disk) to be usable by the operating system. To add a single drive, you must set it up as a RAID 0 (the only RAID level that accepts a single disc).
