To create a startup disk Raid1 on an existing work XPS420 VISTA system

Hi all

I have a XPS 420 with a 500 GB Samsung drive. It starts on Vista without any problems. The Bios Raid feature is 'autodetect '.

I bought a second 500 GB exactly same Samsung. Two hard drives are visible on the bios, the utility rom Intel Matrix and Vista.

I want to create a Raid1 on this two-disc without losing the work of Vista. I read in the manual of Dell that I can use the option of the console Application migration Intel Matrix on Vista. Migration is not available on the version of the Rom and I suppose the create function to erase all my data (maybe I'm wrong?). Unfortunetly, I don't have the Matrix Console on my Vista (maybe I have clear months where I didn't use the Raid features... featured my error).

Now, if I want to install the Console of the matrix (downloaded from the Dell support site) but I received an error message during installation "your computer does not meet the minimum requirements" and stops the installation. I updated the Intel and Intel Chipset driver utility with the who that is on the site of Dell Dowload.

I guess I need to enable the Raid in the Bios. But if I do that, I can not start Vista more. It starts booting but I got at a very early stage (a few seconds after the patient left straight line movement) a blue screen flashing (I can't read the error). Replace the Bios in "autodetect" mode make my Vista boot normally.

I hope to be allowed and, despite the fact that I search on this community forum, has not found this that I encoutered currently that could be summed up:

1. how to create a Raid1 on an existing boot Vista without losing any existing data?

2. how to install the Intel Matrix Console on a system without it?

Thanks for your help.

  • Repair your startup disk Bootcamp disappearing after you create the new partition

    . After some research, I found that it was the way forward to create a separate partition, and so I did another partition.

    I didn't know it would affect my Windows partition that I thought it was completely different.

    So now, when I start it up, there is no option to start with Windows. But when I boot the Mac and select Startup disk, it displays Boot Camp is still there, and all my files etc. are still there.

    I tried to create one separate partition (other than Bootcamp). After that its done and I started my computer, I found that the option to boot Windows (Bootcamp startup disk) has disappeared. But I still see boot camp Mac files. Any solution for this? Thank you.

    (I tried to find this solution on the discussion Forum, and I found: repair Boot Camp after having created the new partition, however, I'm not able to follow these instructions. any help would be appreciated)

  • Error message Microsoft Word "Word could not create the work file. Check the amount of disk space on your startup disk. »

    I have a MacBook Pro, retina 13inch OS X el Capitan Version 10.11.1 with 16 GB of memory. It's brand new and I have recently installed Microsoft Word/Powerpoint etc. a disc that I bought a few years to my previous MacBook. It seems to work very well, but whenever I want to open a word document a message comes up saying "Word could not create the work file. Check the amount of disk space on your startup disk '. However, once I click 'OK' this message disappears and my word file opens without a problem. I have 16 GB of memory on this laptop and it's new I have not reached anywhere near the maximum amount of storage so I'm puzzled as to what this message means. How can I avoid that this message popping up everytime I open Microsoft Word? Any help would be appreciated!

    This has nothing to do with memory - it's the SSD. Word tries to create a temporary file to use as a backup if the program crashes while you are working. First, run the Microsoft Update program to see if there are updates you have missed. Second, Microsoft currently supports only versions 2011 and 2016, so if yours is older, you should consider the upgrade. Thirdly, I suspect that the temporary file is not get created so that you have fewer cancellations (maybe any) and that if the program crashes you have to restore.

    Hello!

  • We found no boot disk or startup disk has failed?

    OK, so yesterday my wireless mouse is broken, I restart my computer to get it to work again. When I did, it has not fixed my problem, so I went online to see some solutions. When I went on a secure site, I got an alert on my computer and something about 2 programs being completed. It seemed was going to turn off the computer, and in a panic, I turn it off. When I turned it back on, it went straight to the verification of the startup disk. And it gives me the message: no boot disk was detected or the startup disk has failed. I got it a couple of times before and all I ha do turn off two or three times, and he'd turn out normally. It won't work, and I tried several ways to remedy. I clicked on F2 and F8 a F11, but nothing works, and I do not have a cd with media recovery settings. Any help would be appreciated.

  • System Restore Startup disk

    Hello: I have a registry problem complicated that I can't get an answer to, and I would like to create a System Restore Startup disk. How can I do this? I am running windows xp (I think that sp3) on a lenovo thinkpad t61.

    I can't open the *.exe files and think it's a registry problem. I tried several ways to solve this problem and have not been able to do.

    I'm running a lenovo thinkpad t61.

    I am referring to the recovery disc.

    You don't say what you tried, but EXE File Association Doug Knox fix usually does the trick: http://www.dougknox.com/xp/file_assoc.htm

    It would be interesting to analyze both of these free applications:
    MalwareBytes Anti-Malware
    SUPERAntiSpyware

    It would be wise to say away from generic 'system restore boot floppies', unless you are sure of what you are doing.  The Thinkpad T61 should have associated with the application of "Rescue and recovery" of Lenovo in a hidden hard drive partition.  See the Thinkpad T61 Service and troubleshooting guide, Chapter 4: http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?sitestyle=lenovo&lndocid=MIGR-67885.

    Rather than provide a disk recovery or a Windows disc with your computer, Lenovo provides simpler methods to accomplish the tasks usually associated with these discs. The files and programs for these alternative methods are on your hard drive, which avoids having to find a misplaced drive and problems related to the use of an incorrect version of the disc.

    The full backup of all files and programs that Lenovo preinstalled on your computer is located in a hidden protected area, or a partition of the hard drive. Although that hidden in the partition backups consume space hard disk. Therefore, during the audit of the capacity of the hard drive under Windows, you might note that the full capacity of the drive seems to be smaller than expected. This discrepancy is explained by the content of the hidden partition.
