Reference Dell T620 recognizes only 4 of 8 hard drives installed

I bought 7 additional 2 TB drives for my Dell PowerEdge T620, delivered with just 1 such disk is almost a year now.  My model has 8 bays of HARD drive in front and after the installation of 7 new disks that I note that only four drives in the top row of the berries are recognized by THE system BIOS.  I'm running Ubuntu Server 12.04.4 and deliverance 'fdisk-l' lists only four disks, as well (sda, b, c, d).  I hope to set up the disks in a RAID 6 configuration if I can get the system to see eight - is it a simple BIOS setting change?  Please tell me that I don't need another controller or similar?  If it can help on the side of the Dell Support of things, my ST is deleted by the privacy policy.  Kind regards

In order details, Service number, listed only one RAID controller is the S110 RAID controller onboard.  The S110 is the lower-end controller you can get.  IF you are still using the controller, then the problem is your controller only supports a maximum of 4 disks, AND it does not support RAID 6 (only 0,1,5,10). You should use the H700 for a storage system like that anyway (or the H310 minimum).

If you actually have a high-end controller, then you are very probably absent the second cable SAS controller to the bottom of basket.

  • (Redirected) Cannot boot from the HARD drive on dell n5010 with SSD and HARD drive installed

    I have my old dell n5010 (15R Inspiron) with SSD (Samsung EVO 840 120 G) installed on the main drive Bay and the HDD (Samsung HJJ 500 G) on the optical drive Bay.

    It is a typical way to add an SSD on such an old laptop (bought from dell.com.cn in 2011).

    My Windows 10 operating system has been installed on the SSD using Samsung Data Migration software, so the previous C drive was pointless. So I formatted and installed an operating system Ubuntu 14.04 on it, hoping the grub OSs double beginning located on the HARD disk.

    However, I find no the Dell bios boot option to boot from the HARD drive installed in my optical drive Bay. All the choices are 'Hard Drive', 'Network' and 'Diagnostic '.

    But I was definitely sure that my bios program has detected the SSD and HDD with information on the main menu of the bios.

    And the LED on the optical drive Bay was immediately once I pressed the Start button on my laptop.

    As a general rule, all things were right except for options of the bios boot.

    Is there a way I can boot from HDD (with installed Ubuntu) while remaining has my SSD on the main drive Bay? I don't want to swap their positions, because the SSD is super fast on the main drive Bay.

    I have alse won't migrate 10 Windows to the HARD drive and reinstall Ubuntu on the SSD, because I'd like my windows be loaded quickly.

    Someone at - it the same problem with me?

    Any suggestion is appreciated!

    Hi amireos,

    Yes, you can create your workflow where you can keep all your images on the external hard drive and the Lightroom catalog file as well.

    If you start with Lightroom and then use the Destination location as external hard drive when you import your image of the external source such as a camera or SD.

    If you already have your Images on the Mac HD drive, then play all your Image on the external hard drive first and then import images directly from there.

    Finally, you can change the location of the Lightroom Catalog as well.

    Default location: folder on the Mac Drive HD, there is folder called Lightroom that you can move on the external drive too (however catalog Lightroom can't memory space as its only import previews of the images is not the real image and full)

    Once you move the file catalog Lightroom external hard disk, then you need to browse the catalog file when you launch Lightroom only once.

    See thread: LR catalog moving on external hard drive

    Let us know if it helps.

    I have a macbook pro with only 128 GB of hard drive. I installed lightroom and all my photos on an external hard drive. Can I keep my library on the external hard drive also lightroom?

    Yes. Find LR catalog file in Edit/settings/general catalogue. Close LR and go to this place. The catalog file is one that ends by .lrcat - move it where you want. Beside the .lrcat file is a subfolder called Previews.lrdata. You can move, but if you don't not LR will generate new insights. Double-click the .lrcat file in her new home and LR will open with this catalogue. Set preferences in more recent catalogue.

  • Reference Dell 2950 Perc 6/i Raid card device driver

    Good morning community, I'm trying to find the Dell 2950 Perc 6/i Raid adapter Device Driver for Windows 2008 R2 Standard OS. Thanks in advance for your help. Modem489

    You don't need to load a driver for the PERC 6 / i in Server 2008 or newer version, the driver is 'native' for Windows.  If you think that you need a driver, I suspect it is because you tried to install and it is not all discs.  If Yes, do not forget that PERC does NOT support RAID/JBOD, then you must configure disks to a virtual disk (VD, matrix RAID) before they can be presented to the OS.  It can be configured in the CTRL-R utility (be sure to check the boxes of progress/Initialize options too).

  • Windows Vista does not recognize external USB 260 GB HARD drive

    I have a 260 GB Seagate external hard drive, a laptop Toshiba satellite and Windows Vista Basic.

    The same Windows usually choose the hard drive when I plug it, it does not appear in Device Manager and in disk management, the only way I can get it to work is to uninstall all the USB root hub and then restart the computer, and then reinstall the USB root hub and plug my hard drive.

    When windows finally recognizes him, the only way to find the driver must choose c:\ manually and there's the search for the computer.
    Works for the time that I have the computer hard disk, but when I stopped it, next time I use the computer, I'm having exactly the same problem.

    I tried to remove the hard drive safely and then close the computer and by him plugging back in after windows has loaded, I tired it connected from the computer and tried to close the computer with connected.

    None of these work.
    Can someone help me please?

    Strange?  :|
    But what need s say Microsoft Windows so I don't expect 100% without bug OS ;)

    Disconnect the USB HDD and remove all the USB ports and Device Manager USB controllers. After restarting again the OS should reinstall ports. Then you could try to reconnect the HARD drive.

  • How do you get Vista Ultimate 64-bit to recognize more 2 TB of hard drive capacity?

    I'm doing a new clean generation with 4, 1.5 to hard drives in Raid 5, which gives me 4,09 TB of space. When you install Windows Vista Ultimate 64 Bit, Vista tells me that I have just 2 TB. The mobo recognizes the TB 4.09. I know that XP and older OS could recognize only 2 TB, but I thought that Vista and Windows 7 might recognize more.

    Hi Dunstonchris,

    Thank you for using Microsoft Answers!
    It seems that your RAID is currently formatted with an MBR partition, which has a limit of 2 TB. You will need to convert this disk to a GUID (GPT) Partition Table disk that will support up to 256 terabytes.
    You can also consider having a single HARD drive with your OS and your RAID with your information. The following article explains how to accomplish this task and is very easy to follow: http://www.maximumpc.com/article/a_reason_to_finally_use_vista

  • Satellite M30X-165 only boot from a hard drive possible

    Today, I tried to upgrade from Windows XP to Windows 7 but no media like CD/DVD bootable and works of disk removable (USB key).

    Notepad only boots from hard drive.
    With F12 I have a start menu, but no matter what I select that does not work and Windows XP boots from the hard drive. Later, I changed the boot sequence in the bios, but it does not work.

    Finally, I did a bios update 1.60 zu 2.00 but I still have the problem.
    How can I boot from DVD or USB stick?

    Try please enter the BIOS and set it to default settings. After doing this, try again please.
    Optical disc drive recognized and listed correctly in the BIOS settings?
    It works when you use it in Windows?

    Also try another thing. Put the bootable disc in ODD and shut down your laptop. Reboot and press the C key several times. If I m remembering well this should force ODD as first bootabe.

  • Computer does not recognize Toshiba external 500G HDD - HARD drive

    Sorry, I use a translator, because all the illiterate

    A year and a half used the hard drive, and now the computer does not recognize it, the TV too.
    In Device Manager, it is there, but says "initialization error".

    What should do?
    Thanks for the replies

    You have partitions software installed on the laptop you?
    I guess that the HARD disk does not appear in windows Explorer, but common partition as the partition Wizard tool might be able to recognize the HARD drive.
    You can try to format the HARD disk and to create the new NTFS partition.

    Another solution:
    Usually, you can initialize the disk by DiskManagement.

    In disk management, right-click the disk you want to initialize and then click on initialize disk.
    In the dialog box initialize the disk, select the disk to initialize.
    You can choose to use the master boot record (MBR) or the style of partition GUID partition table (GPT).

    Once a disk is initialized, you can create partitions on it.
    After you create a partition, you can format the partition to create a filesystem (NTFS).

  • Mid 2012 MacBook Pro starts only with the external hard drive

    I have a MacBook 2012 mid Pro and whenever I try to start it only shows the folder with question mark flashing. But, whenever I plug in my external hard drive, it boots. I also tried selecting the boot drive and the interns don't show, but once in the external plug-in, it shows externally as Macintosh HD. I also tried to reinstall OS X but it says I can't you this player.

    Thank you

    While in the drive external hard, that I hope has the same operating system, can you go to utilities utilities disk-file and run a repair of the internal drive and repair permissions? You could also do the same thing in starting mode of recovery-command keys R at startup. Using the recovery disk utilities. If you can't get the internal drive to show everyone, most likely the drive is bad. Then, you will need to replace it.

  • Vista x 64 does not recognize my external Western Digital hard drive

    I connected an external hard drive Western Digital, and I do not see that it is recognized in all USB ports.  I checked Device Manager and nothing shows here either.

    Western Digital website says this is a result of a damaged or outdated driver, but I could not find the driver.

    How to find the right driver to properly discover the hard drive.

    An old XP machine should recognize the drive, it doesn't require specific drivers. Be sure that you're using a good cable. Early symptom of a defective cable include inrmitent detenction of the reader. Or the hard drive is faulty, try to open the case and look for loose connections.

    Go to the web site of the manufacturer of the computer and see if they have downloads of BIOS update available for your system and your version of Vista.  If so, download and install it and see if that makes a difference - the update may allow recognition to the (if the BIOS is the problem).  Are you certain that you have done all the necessary BIOS changes and that your choice is right for your situation - check this after update if you need to don't do only once.

    Are you absolutely sure that the drive is compatible with the system and your version of Vista and you have installed the drivers of proer? You have a SATA drive it before or is this the first SATA drive on this computer?

    Remove the disc, remove and replace all connections to ensure they are secured (at both ends) and check it out again.
