  Sorry for the late reply, do you mean raid controller in the server? If you want to say, I always do not install driver coz is new server than i've got...

  I want to know, if posibble install raid on one hard drive and how to configure who... Server raid controller is mini H710

  Thanks for your response

  Yes, the RAID controller.  One you have?  I'll assume a PERC H710 for now:

  The H710 PERC is NOT compatible non-RAID (you cannot use a single disk without RAID)... in order to use a hard drive, you MUST configure a single drive RAID 0.  This must be done in the RAID controller BIOS utility, accessed by pressing CTRL-R during POST when prompted.

  Once configured, you need TO load the driver for the operating system, see the drives connected to the controller.

  If you have a H310, it SUPPORTS no RAID, so you do not have to configure anything in the RAID controller BIOS, HOWEVER, you MUST always load the RAID controller driver during installation.

• In disk management, it shows only a single hard drive and it's C, but it lists the size than what my old drive was that I took out

  I got a new hard drive in my computer and the old a subscribed.  I then had to reinstall Windows XP Pro.  In disk management, it shows only a single hard drive and it's C, but it lists the size than what my old drive was that I took out.  The new shows of unallocated hard disk without a drive letter and has a black bar above it. How do I show my new hard drive that is 1 TB instead of one that was a 250 GB is not yet in my computer.

  Hi Reta,

  ·         The drive appears like 250 GB even if it's a terabyte?

  ·         Is the remaining 750Go showing as unallocated disk space?

  If this is the case, you can refer to this article on how to use disk management in Windows XP:

  How to use disk management to configure dynamic disks in Windows XP

  You can follow the directions to extend a Simple Volume so that your 250 GB turns into a single terabyte.

• A single hard drive will not be shared on network. All other players share very well.

  A single hard drive will not be shared on network.  All other players share very well.  Don't have a homegroup installation because I also have XP machines.  The drive is on a windows machine 7.   I checked all the settings.  Of course, all the machines are on the same workgroup.  It's just 1 road.  The other 5 on this computer share very well.

• Conversion of Raid 1 configuration to 1 normal hard drive with Windows XP Professional

  I have a Dell Precision Workstation 380, which has been set up at the factory in Raid 1 with 2 Seagate 160 GB hard drives.  The operating system is Windows XP Professional.  I would like to delete the Raid 1 configuration and that the computer is a normal hard drive configuration 1.  Can someone help me with a step by step procedure to achieve this?

  Hi cbcenterplus,

  RAID 1 means that you essentially two drives separated with identical information. In order to break the RAID is simple. Start on the Intel RAID Option Rom utility (ctrl + I), replace two disks drives non-members, and then restart your computer.  The 2nd disc will receive a new drive letter, and you can get in shape by using the disk management and have extra space.

• T300 with bus adapter host SAS 6 configured for Raid-1, one of the hard drives of 1 TB died.

  I pulled one of the disks 1 to one of the other Dell servers and worry about harming the raid configuration or break the pairing.  Where can I go to see exactly what I do and what I don't have to synchronize the new drive.  I am running Windows Server 2003 R2 on the old server.  Also, even if these discs are the same size, said KA02 on it and says MA08, whatever that means.

  This product ID indicates you have part # SW063. I suspect that there is a typing error because this part number does not exist in my file. It seems that you have JW063 which is a SAS 6/IR.

  Instructions for replacing a drive in RAID 1 to start at the bottom of page 46 of the SAS 6/iR user guide:

  All you need to do is replace the drive. If it does not rebuild automatically, then set the HARD drive as a hot spare replacement.

  Thank you

• Disk not configured VM after Exchange hard drive Slots / berries

  Hi - I have 5.5 ESXi configured HP DL380 G6 server and three independent logical drives.  I had exchanged a HDD in slot 1 with slot 3 to do a test, but then he returned to original slots.

  In the ESXi VMware client, I see the detected hard drives but next to him said ' ' unconfigured disk and virtual machines, I say unknown inaccessible. "

  I removed the VM of the inventory by pressing a note KM, but the problem is that I do not see my data stores, none of the hard disk appears in the Configuration > storage > devices section. If I can see them in the Configuration > health > storage area.

  Any thoughts on what I can do for the disc to be recognized, all that was done was split/Bay 1 hard drive was moved to slot/Bay 3 and vice versa.

  Would appreciate the help as I would not start over.

  Thank you!

• Qosmio F30-117: A single HARD drive is recognized after upgrade to 120 GB

  I have a Qosmio F30-117 with 2 x 60 GB Toshiba hard drives installed. I want to switch to 2 x 120 GB HARD drive, but my Slot 1 does not recognize the HARD drive as being present. Slot 2 recognizes that a 120 GB HARD drive is present.

  This happens with two 120 GB hard drives installed in the two slots and when inverted as well. I don't use RAID so no mirroring happens.

  Any clues out there?

  Hello
  I think that it is will not be problem.
  Try putting 2 HARD drive and then install a sistem.
  Otherwise, you can not lose a sistem on old first HDD, if you have a problem.

• drives no raid after installing a new hard drive, deleted a raid volume.

  I recently installed a new hard drive on a dimension 9200. One of the two hard drives in the pc has been a failure. After installing a new drive, I had a working old drive and a new drive, I installed vista on the new drive and found I couldn't see the old drive in the computer, also the raid volume was always the same that before removing one of the old disks. After you delete the raid volume, I have now two non-raid drives. My pc would be better if I change those two to a Raid volume as were the two previous albums, and if yes, how can I do.

• Two PC with a single hard drive... Not at the same time

  I bought a second 410 with the travel plan only the hard drive. I'll do a clean install of Win7 Home Premium 64, as well as all software, etc. on the Michigan machine.

  What should I do to improve the chances of this hard drive works on both machines?

• You can use a single hard drive to store an image disk backup and restore for multiple computers?

  I have a couple of computers that I recently installed Win7 on. As soon as I do an install I always do a backup image is preparing for the worst. Do I need a separate hard drive for each computer that I do a backup or image can I put all my images on a hard drive backup? I already have two separate a HDs different images, but would like to have them all in one place. I already tried a straight copy of an image to HAND HD I would use like, but without success. Is this possible or do I really a backup image HD?

  Depends on what you use for backup.  in General, you need not to have a picture in HD.

  Personally, I like acronis true image home 2012 (free trial) because it is flexible, easy to use and workjs each time.

• Catalogue bringing together on a single hard drive.

  My catalog is scattered over several drives. What is the right way to go all out several different hard disks on a very large hard drive?

  If you consolidate because you move at a large new or different hard drive, you have two options.

  Option 1: you can drag and drop files in the Lightroom library module. Have been reported by users who have done what all the pictures move, and then they have to spend a lot of time to find the missing images.

  Option 2: you can move folders of images to the new hard drive with your operating system. When you view the folder that you moved Lightroom will tell you he hasn't. So we must show Lightroom were the file is now located.

  Lightroom think my photos are missing - how to fix? Lightroom Queen

  If you have a lot of images and folders to move, it is my opinion that option 2 is the best option. The operating system seems to do a better job to move the files. But we must take the time to point Lightroom to the folders on the new hard drive. It's not that much time, but it needs to be done.

  If you're going to make this gesture, I strongly suggest that you organize your folder tree, so that you have a main folder with subfolders for different years or different projects or what ever in this main folder. Then, in the future, if you need to make this move again simply move the main folder and then find that missing folder in its new location and everything will be connected as it should.

• Reference Dell T610 with 5 hard drive problem (5x2TB) while create RAID 5 with all the HARD drive. :(

  Dear Sir.

  While I have already configured the RAID 5 with 5 disks, then the OS (windows 2008 R2) installation step I saw 2 separate partitions. and can I install it on the partition with only 2 TB. Another, we can't. So during my installation completed OS, then I can use only 2 TB, for another volume is about 5 TB can't do anything. Can I do the RAID 5 with 5 disks (10 TB)?

  I wait your helpful to my set.

  Thank you.

  This is new server, there is not any data yet so I can reinstall. What I want is that I just want to RAID 5 until I started my DC project. I already look for how to convert to GPT, but I'm not at all.  I know that I can't convert GPT as the OS in the same disk but that is because I try to configure RAID 5 and OS, but while over OS I do not see another 5 to just see only 2 TB.

  I don't understand most of what you wrote.  You must activate the UEFI (below), then convert to GPT before installing Windows.

  silamay

  How can I install on a UEFI system?

  The T610 supports UEFI, but must be allowed.  Start the BIOS (F2) Setup and change the boot mode in the UEFI instead of BIOS/inheritance.

  Your alternative is to create a RAID 5 using all disks, but the definition of the size as something as small as 2 to, then another RAID 5 with space remaining.  Each table will be displayed in Windows as a separate 'drive' - you can then install normally in the smallest 'drive '.
