• How can satellite A300D-125 - I activate RAID?

  We all know that our series equipped with two hard drive connectors. I installed the two 320 GB Toshiba HDD (same model).
  But there is no RAID option on the configuration of the BIOS. (I know)

  Is it possible that I have this hardware raid-0?
  Any expert please let me know.

  As I heard this software raid have no information about it.
  If hardware raid is not possible that we have implemented a raid 0 software on this unit.
  If possible, what are advantages and disadvantages. It is effective as hardware raid?

• How to activate RAID 0 on my W700

  Madam/Sir,

  Would you be so kind and explain briefly the procedure to recreate the image on my W700 with an AHCI enabled (non-RAID) 2 disks in an active RAID (2 stripped drives - RAID 0).

  I already have a picture of rescue & recovery of my disk (disk 0) main system on a drive connected to my W700 dock eSATA external. I also have a CD bootable rescue & recovery.

  My doubt is about the creation of the RAID 0 volume 1 and if the rescue CD & recovery will be able to apply the saved image on my RAID 0 volume (100% of the space of 2 discs)?

  Please notify.

  Are your hard drives of identical sizes? If this isn't the case, you may forget to build a RAID configuration.

  You need to create recovery discs as well, just to be on the good side of you. Go to start > programs > ThinkVantage > create recovery media. (It's a belt and Suspenders question - to be on the safe side).

  During the startup process, will give you the opportunity to press CTRL + I; This will allow you to set up your RAID as you would like, at the same time, it will make your current config as useless and all files will be lost - to return to them first.

  After you set the drives to the RAID configuration, you need that you can then use your discs to install the system. From my experience, it seems it won't boot from the disc or any other media get there in the first place, but it does eventually.

  Hope this helps

• HP rp5800 Raid 1 config

  Greetings and salutations.

  The company I work for sure recently an agreement with HP to get the rp5800 is provided as a server for our customers.

  right now, we're trying to get the raid fuction working with 2 x 500 GB seagate HARD drive, when I noticed that the 2 HARD drives have a different firmware that they run on.

  HDD1 = ST3500413A5 with Firmware = HP64

  HDD2 = ST500DM002 with Firmware = JC4B

  My question is. Differs from the firmware affect the 2 HDD Raid 1 configuration. If so, how?

  Concerning

  Hello

  If the SATA emulation mode is not set to RAID, then CTRL + I will not work.  You will find in the bios.  If you do not see emulation SATA RAID then your server has an embedded RAID function.

  Before making any changes, back up everything and make sure that you have a set of recovery disks.

  Read this Microsoft MrFixit article where you experience this problem.  Remember to update the driver Intel Rapid Storage Technology. prior to activating parring to RAID in the bios.

  In theory, activation RAID 1 pairing will copy 1 HD on HD 2 (same size or larger) and shouldn't cause a loss of data. Backs up only as previously suggested in case something goes wrong.  RAID 1 migration will take a while as HD 1 must be bit mapped (the copy process) for HD 2, so be patient.

  Another approach would be to activate RAID parring and then do a complete new installation of the operating system, and then restore your data.

• W700ds: Select RAID using recovery media created

  Hello!

  I am owner of a ThinkPad W700ds, but I guess my question will be answered there as well if it were a W700... Please, any help would be great!

  I bought a "used" W700ds with Windows Vista Business (COST and recovery partition intact, but no media provided). The laptop has been published with RAID0, but I was always doubtful that it has been implemented correctly. I spent some time he investigation this afternoon and noticed that the BIOS has not been configured correctly - it was set to AHCI instead of the RAID.

  I did the following:

  (1) created using the installation in the ThinkVantage software recovery media.
  (2) RAID enabled in the BIOS
  (3) entered in the RAID (Ctrl + I) starting at the top. I configured as RAID0 readers.
  (4) reinstalled Windows Vista using the recovery media created in (1) above.

  After completing the installation of Windows Vista would be failed to start - always BSOD'ing.

  I repeated step 3 & 4 above, select RAID1 instead. Exactly the same problem.

  I have since return to the setting of the AHCI BIOS and reinstalled Windows Vista using the recovery media and I'm back where I started (Windows installed, but in a RAID array).

  I did some research and it seems that in the RAID drivers are not included in the recovery media and this is the reason for the BSOD. I've included some of the many websites I read, both for your reading and, somehow, to check that I really spent some time to the consideration of this issue before asking for help.

  Media recovery that I created, that's all I have - is there a 'stand-alone' for me way to activate RAID? I prefer RAID1 (I would favour redundancy over the speed), but would be happy with RAID0 if this is not possible. It seems it is scandalous that Lenovo (aware - and obviously not "expected" as alternative installation media is considered a book 'around') offer the possibility to create recovery media, which does not have to reinstall Windows by using a configuration valid.

  It seems that it is not possible to maintain the RAID by Lenovo R & R, which probably explains why the seller announced the ThinkPad RAID, but it did not come to me as such (the seller has used the recovery partition to restore laptop to factory for me state before ending our sale - makes sense!). It seems a shame to have a laptop that offers RAID functionality and has the necessary equipment (RAID controller and two disks) and hit a sort of brick on software restrictions. Can someone advice how can I proceed to reinstall Windows with the disks in a RAID array, as I have only the Lenovo recovery media?

  Lenovo support are closed today due to the day Bank holiday UK but I'll try next time - but I'm afraid my fate is in your hands already, like the ThinkPad is out of warranty.

  Thank you!!

• 32 GB of Ram, computer upgrade only makes a buzzing sound

  I bought a W541 with 4 GB of ram and 1 750gig HD with the intention to move the ram to 32 GB and 2 hds in raid installation myself.

  After that I got the computer I discovered that if I don't order it with RAID would not support it, so I ordered another one of the same computer with RAID to replace. While I was waiting for the replacement I installed ram into the computer and it worked fine.

  Now, I have the new computer, the only difference is that it has the RAID chip and that works fine, but when I installed the RAM that the computer would do when you activated it was make a high pitch buzzing. I thought that maybe he had a static shock while I put me in service so I sent for another 32 GB kit.

  Today, the new kit has come and it's the same thing, does everything the computer is to make a high-pitched hum.

  Any ideas?

  TL; DR: W541 with raid not even post with upgrade ram 32.

  I bought the G.Skill Ripjaws F3-1600C9Q-32GRSL 1.35v, but that shouldn't matter that it worked on the first computer.

  They are all should work, so it must be your system. Dial the 1-800-426-7378

• Replacement H200A PERC - inactive volumes RAID - controller okay to activate?

  Hi all, quick question which I * think * I know the answer, but it's a new one on me and all juggling RAID settings in a live environment make me sweat.
  Situation, is that I have a PowerEdge T410 with a PERC H200A controller and two RAID 1 volumes, 600 GB, and 1 TB.  Was a message of "Fatal error 4 Bus Slot" in OpenManage and diagnosis, which points to the H200A, and as a result, the server is not feeding properly in ESXi and one of the volumes is showing that the East in vCenter.  It will not mount.

  Fortunately, I have a spare H200A controller, so I put it in the server and, as expected, is to show the RAID volumes as being inactive.  I'm * assuming that * I can activate just them and they will come to life, but I just wanted to check if somebody do it before and I can confirm that is going to work.

  Thank you

  Tim.

  Yes, you must activate the VD/table. Real PERC, the controller would see a configuration on the discs and you could import the foreign configuration... the terminology on this controller is that he sees a configuration on the disks and you must activate it.

• HP dv7-6107ee: How do I activate/NVRAIDMAN to create raid 0 on hp dv7 6107ee

  Hi all

  Concerning
  Fady ghattas

  If there is no legacy/secure boot options in the BIOS (I think that yours isn't that) then there is no RAID option. Although it may seem like a 0 2 SSD RAID would be a fantastic thing, your laptop's SATA-II based and you might saturate the SATA bus very quickly, which means that you wouldn't see that a real life everything accelerates faster you will get with a single SSD.

• can not activate iMessage on Mac

  Hi, since the last update OS X (ver. 10.11.6) I have problems with the transmission of messages from my iPhone to Mac. It has worked before, however after the last system update it stopped working correctly. So, I tried to disable iMessage (on Messages app) and to turn it on again. When I enter my ID Apple and the password, it keeps saying, who "Could not sign an iMessage" and "an error occurred during authentication. Password is correct. So I used my second Apple ID account to activate iMessage, just in case. Same situation. He has recorded for 5 seconds then the same message appeared and I was disconnected. So, I used the first Apple ID - and the same thing happened (me connected for 5 seconds and then disconnects me). I deactivated and reactivated my iCloud. Nothing. I disabled iMessages on iPhone. Nothing.

  Password is fine, but it seems Apple server denies the request of my Mac authentication.

  Any ideas what should I do?

  Thank you in advace

  Please read this message before doing anything.

  This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don't be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.

  Step 1

  The goal of this step is to determine if the problem is localized to your user account.

  Select the feedback connections* and log in as a guest. Do not use the Safari connection only 'user comments' created by 'find my Mac '.

  While signed in as a guest, you will have access to your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you use them for the first time. Do not be alarmed by this behavior; It's normal. If you need any password or other personal information in order to complete the test, save, print, or write them before you start.

  Test while signed in as a guest. Same problem?

  After testing, log on to the guest account and in your own account, disable it if you wish. The files that you created in the guest account will be automatically deleted when you log out of it.

  * Note: If you have enabled 'find my Mac' or FileVault, then you cannot activate the guest account. The login 'User comments' created by 'Find my Mac' is not the same. Create a new account to test and delete it, including his home folder, after testing.

  Step 2

  The goal of this step is to determine if the problem is caused by changes in the system of third party that load automatically at startup or logon, by a device, by a police conflict or corruption of system files or some system caches.

  Please take this step regardless of the results of step 1.

  Disconnect all devices wired except those required to test and remove all the expansion cards from secondary market, as appropriate. Start in safe mode and log on to the account of the problem.

  Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or an earlier version, or if a firmware password is defined, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can not do this. Ask for additional instructions.

  Safe mode is much slower to boot and run as normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things work at all, including an audio output and a Wi - Fi connection on some models. The next normal boot can also be a bit slow.

  The login screen is displayed even if you normally connect automatically. You need your password to log on. If you have forgotten the password, you will have to reset it before you begin.

  Test in safe mode. Same problem?

  After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and make sure you always have the problem. View the results of steps 1 and 2.

• Z210: Bad support/problem with recovery of an Z210 system when changing the RAID configuration backup

  My Z210 accompanies stripped Bay RAID-0, which currently consists of 2 x 1 TB HDD where the OS partition. I want to change that in RAID-1 mirror, but as the application of TSRI does no such RAID level migration, I thought I would try another approach.

  As a solution, I'd do a backup using the Windows backup and restore application. Then, I would change the table using the Boot ROM TSRI before restoring the backup to this new array. But obviously backup 1.9 TB in a table of 932GB will not

  So, to make a backup, I firstly disabled 'System Protection' and the file 'Page '. This allowed me to reduce the OS partition to about 50 GB using disk management. Then I re - activate 'System Protection' and the 'Page file' before making the backup and the creation of a system recovery disk. This resulted in a backup of 35 GB that I stocked up on a USB external drive. And now a backup of 35 GB can fit on my reconfigured 932GB RAID - 1 mirror

  As such, I cold booted my system and during the boot process, I pressed CTRL-I to get the State of mind RAID Intel Boot ROM. you, CTRL-I've worked only if I started cold and the HP USB keyboard directly connected the first USB slot at the back of the system. The first USB slot is at the top left when you look at the back with the portrait of the tower. Connect the HP USB keyboard in USB port or in the hub of my Dell monitor does not allow me to access the ROM to Boot Intel RAID!

  HP should really study this fault

  In any case, when I could access the Intel RAID Boot ROM, I deleted the RAID-0 stripped existing and created a new RAID-1 mirror. Obviously, the process is destructive and wipe the BONES of the table but that's what my backup was to

  Then I started on the Windows system recovery disk, plugged the USB external drive and proceeded to recover my system.

  Everything worked as expected with the operating system partition uses about 50 GB. A simple trip to disk management enabled me to extend the volume to occupy the space allocated, as presented by the RAID-1 array. As such, I find myself with about 932 GB partition that appear in the windows disk management tool. After a check disk and reboot (which fixed some minor issues) all seemed well.

  But no, everything was fine

  Well that ROM boot RAID Intel sees that a mirror RAID-1 about 932 GB and the operating system sees a partition about 932 GB, both as expected, demand for Intel RST in windows States the following:

  

  I don't seem to have indication of what type of table, it is, an options to change the name of the table or an option to check the integrity of the array through the TSRI application in windows. If something is screwed

  But after the update for the application of iRST version 10.6.0.1002 Intel (the newest HP of) version 11.2.0.1006 (version Intel got very practice), the question seems to correct itself. Now the RAID, Windows boot ROM and the request of TSRI in Windows all agree that the table is indeed a mirror RAID-1 932 GB.

  

  I don't know what caused the problem, if it's related to something that was wrong with the process that I used, if she is simply resolved by reinstalling driver, or if this is a fix for a known issue that Intel has included in their questions later from the pilot.

  But what I know is that Intel has resolved a number of issues in the version 12.9.0.1001 driver (which is the latest version for the Cougar Point chipsets) compared to the old driver version 10.6.0.1002 HP has on its support page for the Z210.

  And HP seems unwavering in his lack of interest in the Intels 12.9.0.1001 test pilot and then make it available on its support page for what is a product still under warranty

  It is a mediocre service if you ask me...

  Some HP forum administrator or HP support person hide these forums should impose it in the HP management station and get it looked at. The Z210 is still under warranty for some customers and HP needs to pick up the latest drivers available to all suppliers, test them and then release them to their customers via the support page for this product. All the rest is little change us all.

  I was able to resolve the application problem Intel RST by updating to the latest v11.2.0.1006 Intel driver but it has highlighted a few points that HP should address, see linked post above.

  PS: Add this post so I can mark the thread as solved.

• Questions for the W541! Possible purchase

  Hi everyone I am considering the purchase of a new laptop computer and I'm considering W541 as one of my options. I have a few questions though, before I can do a longish and I'll be very grateful if anyone with or without experience with W541 can respond! BTW I use the laptop mainly under linux + windows for light work of games/office.

  (1) SCREEN. Is the FHD REAL matte screen or is bright somehow? I suffer from eye strain/headaches of the retina or glossy or very bright white color poster. I don't consider any laptop with this kind of screen. Also the FHD seems to be the smallest resolution I can get, you think it of big enough for a person with the glass of the prescription see? (otherwise T440p seems the thinkpad only left with HD resolution).

  (2) CPU/RAM: there are two "low end" option for CPU: i7-4710 MQ and MQ i7-4810. I know they are pretty similar and I have additional need 500 mhz. However, a Web site, the 4810 seems to support DDR3L 1333/1600 so that 4710 supports only DDR3. I don't know if it's right because Lenovo offers 4710 with 1600 MHz ram. Also do you think 2.5 GHz base frequency difference of 2.8 GHz? How about consumption?

  (3) battery life: I'm going to battery 9 if I buy this one. Does anyone have a real experience for how long it might last with internet/office/pdf work?

  (4) replacement of RAM: is it replacement ram there at 1600 mhz for replacement? I can only find 14900 mhz crucial. Oh I found 1600 Kingston and kingston 1866? Can I even use 1866 for W541?

  (5) sensor of fingerprint digital/color: pretty cool to have feature. But those good support in Linux, or even in windows? My friend has an old T500 with option of fingerprints, and is hell slow to read/use this function.

  (6) microdrive/raid: having a raid will be beneficial? With ssd?

  (7) keyboard pad num: anyone looking like / dislike it? The num key did all the keys closer and more difficult to type?

  (8) final thought: pretty stupid, but don't I have to wait for the quad core broadwell or even skylate? It's 'almost' seven.

  I recently "upgraded" to a W520 in a W541, so I can probably help with some of them.

  (1) SCREEN. Is the FHD REAL matte screen or is bright somehow?

  Speaking only in the version 3K, it is dull. I think the FHD screen is similar.

  (2) CPU/RAM: there are two "low end" option for CPU: i7-4710 MQ and MQ i7-4810. I know they are pretty similar and I have additional need 500 mhz. However, a Web site, the 4810 seems to support DDR3L 1333/1600 so that 4710 supports only DDR3. I don't know if it's right because Lenovo offers 4710 with 1600 MHz ram. Also do you think 2.5 GHz base frequency difference of 2.8 GHz? How about consumption?

  I wouldn't put too much trust the specifications of Lenovo, which is really disappointing... If you look, the W541 is listed as a 5th generation of processor (is not, and I sent a message about this months ago) and they claim that you can buy it with a touchscreen multipoint (you can't).

  Plan on DDR3L / 1600.

  (3) battery life: I'm going to battery 9 if I buy this one. Does anyone have a real experience for how long it might last with internet/office/pdf work?

  About 6 hours, give or take, if you have the display near the midpoint of the brightness.

  (4) replacement of RAM: is it replacement ram there at 1600 mhz for replacement? I can only find 14900 mhz crucial. Oh I found 1600 Kingston and kingston 1866? Can I even use 1866 for W541?

  According to my experience, the W541 was very picky with RAM. I went with 2 x 2 x 8 sets of Crucial (P/n: BLS2K8G3N169ES4). Lenovo doesn't really allow to much enjoy anything be it faster.

  (5) sensor of fingerprint digital/color: pretty cool to have feature. But those good support in Linux, or even in windows? My friend has an old T500 with option of fingerprints, and is hell slow to read/use this function.

  The fingerprint reader was not an option when I bought my W541 in April. The W520 fingerprint reader was usable in Fedora, for what it is worth. Both should work fine in Windows (speaking from experience, works of fine point color calibrator Windows 8.1).

  (6) microdrive/raid: having a raid will be beneficial? With ssd?

  The microdrive is useful if your main drive is a stand-alone magnetic drive, or if you want to format and have a semi-permanent place to keep ~ 16 GB of data. You can get adapters to convert the optical Bay for a 2.5 "drive Bay HARD, that you can use for RAID 0 or RAID 1.

  (7) keyboard pad num: anyone looking like / dislike it? The num key did all the keys closer and more difficult to type?

  It takes getting used to typing with your hands to shift to the left. The keys seem to very small, however. It is not as bad as the HP keyboards with numpads, but if there is an option to get the keyboard without one, I would have taken the traditional keyboard.

  (8) final thought: pretty stupid, but don't I have to wait for the quad core broadwell or even skylate? It's 'almost' seven.

  If you do not need today, I'd wait. I liked my W520, and I pretty much hate my W541. The trackpad is the worst I've ever used, the keyboard has a number of quality issues, display of 3K there's nothing to get excited about, thermal reduction system needs to refine...

  The only reason why I happen to be here today, is that I was shopping for a replacement for the W541 I bought a few months ago. It's pretty horrible.

• HP ProBook s 4530: Missing RAID in BIOS option?

  Short version: storry Long runs, I installed a 32 GB msata ssd in a laptop HP 4530 s to activate technology Intel Rapid Start in order to start and run more quickly. (I already did this on a Dell laptopp and know how to do it).  I installed all the drivers from neccecery, but when I went to the BIOS to set the SATA RAID mode, the option wasn't there.  He showed only IDE and SATA. I read on the forums of verious it may be possible that HP has disabled this option.

  Is this true?

  I do somethig wrong?

  Is there a way to activate it?

  Long version: after that I bought a 23 gb msata ssd and opened to the top of the laptop, I noticed that HP do not solder the socket to the motherboard msata... the space is there but the plastic bushing is not.

  After buying a HARD Drive Caddy and a Msata to SATA Adapter, I replaced the optical drive with it. Kicked upwards and the ssd showed and it works. but when I wnet in the BIOS to change the SATA RAID mode, the RAID option was missing.

  Yes that's exactly what I was going to suggest. The regular mechanical drive 5400 RPM in the optical drive adapter will be purely for storage. The SATA-I connection is fast enough to play audio and video, etc. If you do something like video editing, encoding or Photoshop which requires a fast disk access do the SSD.
