Need a help on AHCI & RAID setup during Win 7 installation
Hello,
Sorry for a newbie question, but I need to reinstall Win 7 Professional with my new rig.
I would appreciate your help.
What are the procedures for the windows installation?
I would like to set up AHCI and RAID controller, as someone had suggested that Intel recommends RAID setup even for non-RAID configurations.
Here's the spec of my rig:
Motherboard: P67A-GD65 (B3)
CPU: Intel Core i7 2600k
CPU Fan: CoolMaster V8 (180W)
RAM: G.Skil F3-17000CL9D (4GBx2)
GPUs: Palit GTX 560Ti (x2, no SLI)
SSD: Crucial C300 (64GB)
Hard Drive: WD 1002FAEX (1TB)
Optical Drive: Lite-on BR Burner
Case: Corsair 650D with stock case fans
PSU: Corsair TX750W
Thanks in advance
The board should comes with a Manuel for you to refer on the installation of different drivers for the controllers.

Need some help with this new setup I have
This is what I got for my new setup
A64 3000 939
K8N Neo4 Platinum MSI
1 gig of Mushkin duel chan. ddr 400
Gigabyte GeForce 6600 GT PCI-E
The ram I have is duel chan. I have no idea what this means Or what the ram needs to be set to is it faster than non duel ddr?Quote from: igmox
it is like water flowing through two parallel pipes instead of one.

Another example you could think of duel channel memory could be like a 2 lane motorway. You close one lane and cars can only go down 1 lane, but when you open another lane up thats another path for the cars to travel

One more thing is my psu going to be ok with that setup

Yes your Power supply has 24 pin atx connector and also its a ATx2.0, which means its SLI/PCI-E Complient -
I need basis ICH5R Info for Raid setup
I have been able to get as far as creating my raid array for the ICH5H, but when I boot, it goes directly to drive A and asks for a boot disk. How do you load the drives and format the disks and load windows? Thanks in advance.
Thanks for the reply, apparently there is something wrong because I don't get any message about hitting F6 to load sata drives, like I do with the promise controller. I wonder if I used the promise setup to load the ICH5R drivers would work?

I'm in need of help deciding which power setup to use with new MBP
Hello all,
So - after using an original 1.83 MBP for many years w/Aperture... I've recently acquired a new MBP!
and initially I had the power setup for better battery life... and often found myself wondering, "hmmm...considering this thing has way more juice under the hood - it sure doesn't run much quicker than the old one?!?!"
And then I realized - I had the lesser video chip running!
When I turned on the better performance - and then ran Aperture (likely my most demanding process) holy Crap! Does this thing Fly!!!
Now the problem; hence my question - is:
"is there a way to set it up so that while under battery power it runs on the better battery life option, yet when plugged in to endless power - it will run on better performance?" it would be much nicer - let alone make much more sense if this option was clear-cut & simple to select... or am I just missing it some where in the menus? Seems that you can only have one or the other, despite battery or plugin power. And to switch means logging out and the re-logging back in...?!?!?!
Any thoughts?"is there a way to set it up so that while under battery power it runs on the better battery life option, yet when plugged in to endless power - it will run on better performance?"
No, there isn't. You're right — it would be nicer if there were.
Seems that you can only have one or the other, despite battery or plugin power. And to switch means logging out and the re-logging back in...
That's correct. -
Need some help with wi-fi setup, please
I have just upgraded from Broadband opt 3 to infinity, currently getting stunning performance, but only when wired !
Have been running a wifi network on a Draytek 2600G for several years now without any problems, comprising 1 desktop, 1 laptop, together with PSP's, Playstation, ipods, Nintendo DS etc, etc. Not surprisingly the HH3 doesn't seem to like this setup and runs like a dog.
Seems to me that I should be able to connect my Vigor 2600G to (either) the Openreach modem, or the HH3, and turn off the facilities that I don't want - i.e. use the connectivity of the HH3 with the wifi facilities of the Vigor 2600G?
Any suggestions or advice on how to achieve this would be most welcome.
regards
MickI think that the Vigor 2600 has some PPPoE functionality, but my understanding was that it is not a VDSL router, so will not stand in totally for the HH3.
What I have been able to do is to;
a/ switch off HH3 wifi
b/ assign IP address to the Vigor 2600 from the range used by HH3
c/ switch off Vigor 2600's DHCP functions
d/ cable from HH3 Ethternet to Vigor 2600
Now connected with all devices talking to Vigor 2600 wifi, and via cable to HH3 & 'Net. It's not clear to me if I can move the DHCP functions to the Vigor, for ease pf management, but a workable solution, albeit involving 3 mains connections as compared with one previously. (Looks like the Draytek 2750 will replace all this with a one box solution)
Some speed numbers; (all downloads)
We previously had BT Broadband running at approx 7.5 MB
Cable connection to HH3 & Infinity runs at 35-37MB
HH3 Wifi produces speeds in the region of 1-2 MB (actually, on my MacBook - the iMac in the corner of the living room refused to connect to the HH3 at all)
Using HH3 with Vigor 2600 wifi gives between 18 & 21 MB

Need some help with guitar setup...
jeez, never thought i'd be asking a question like this after playing for like 20 years, but i need some help with a guitar setup for mac. i'm gonna list out a lot of crap here that prolly doesn't affect anything at all, but here goes.
Imac 17inch G4 - latest updated OS X... 10.4, or 5, or whatever. garageband 3.0
digitech gnx-3
alesis sr-16
sure mic's
yamaha e203 keyboard
here's the setup:
yamaha is on its own on a usb uno midi interface, sure's connected to gnx's xlr port, alesis connected to gnx's jam-a-long input, '87 kramer vanguard connected to gnx's guitar input. currently running headphones out on gnx to line in on mac.
here's the problem:
everything works beautifully, but my guitar sounds like crap. if i plug headphones into the gnx, it sounds beautiful. that makes me think its some kind of level issue between the gnx's output, and the mac's input, but nothing seems to fix it.
by sounding like crap, i mean way too much bass. sound is muddy, blurry, not crisp... aka crap. i've tried altering both output and input on mac and gnx, and i cant get a combination that works. the gnx has a s/pdif out, can the mac accept that as input? might that help? short of running the gnx to my marshal half stack and mic'ing that, anyone have any suggestions, or use a similar setup?
any help would be greatly appreciated!anyone? ... any suggestions? I think it might be an issue with the gnx pre-amping the signal as it goes out, and then the mac amping it on the way in, giving me a buttload more signal than i need, but since i cant find a happy level, i'm not really sure. i really dont want to resort to mic'ing my marshall... even with the volume almost off, my jcm900 is WAY too loud for apartment use. its not like i really NEED the guitar to sound perfect, i only use garageband to sketch out ideas for songs between myself and bandmates, but its really annoying to not have my customary crisp distortion. my bass player keeps telling me to use the built in amps, but, not to dis a practically free program, but the built in amps blow, at least after 10 years of marshall tube amplification they do. if anyone has any suggestions that might be helpfull on how i might resolve this, i would be your best friend for life and go to all your birthday parties

I need help on how to setup hardware raid for ASM.
In the « Recommendations for Storage Preparation” section in the following documentation: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B28359_01/server.111/b31107/asmprepare.htm
It mentions:
--Use the storage array hardware RAID 1 mirroring protection when possible to reduce the mirroring overhead on the server.
Which is a good raid 1 configuration considering my machine setup?
“I put my Machine info below.”
Should I go for something like:
5 * raid 1 of 2 disks in each raid: disk group DATA
5 * raid 1 of 2 disks in each raid: disk group FRA
Then ASM will take care of all the striping between the 5 raids inside a disk group right?
OR, I go for:
1 * raid 1 of 10 disks: disk group DATA
1 * raid 1 of 10 disks: disk group FRA
In the second configuration, does ASM recognize that there are 10 disks in my raid configuration and stripes on those disks? Or to use ASM striping, I need to have lots of raid in a disks group?
Here is my Machine Characteristics:
O/s is Oracle Enterprise Linux 4.5 64 bit
Single instance on Enterprise Edition 10g r2
200 GIG database size.
High "oltp" environment.
Estimated growth of 60 to 80GIG per year
50-70GIG archivelogs generation per Day
Flashback time is 24 hours: 120GIG of flashback space in avg
I keep a Local backup. Then push to another disk storage, then on tape.
General Hardware Info:
Dell PowerEdge 2950
16 GIG RAM
2 * 64 bit dual core CPU's
6 * local 300G/15rpm disks
Additional Storage:
Dell PowerVault MD1000
15 * 300G/15rpm Disks
So I have 21 Disks in total.I would personally prefer the first configuration and let ASM stripe the disks. Generally speaking, many RAID controllers will stripe then mirror (0+1) when you tell it to build a striped and mirrored RAID set on 10 disks. Some will mirror then stripe (1+0) which is what most people prefer. That's because when a 1+0 configuration has a disk failure, only a single RAID 1 set needs to be resync'd. The other members of the stripe won't have to be resynchronized.
So, I'd prefer to have ASM manage 5 luns and let ASM stripe across those 5 luns in each disk group. It also increases your ability to reorganize your storage if you need 20% more info in DATA and can afford 20% less in FRA, you can move one of your RAID 1 luns from FRA to DATA easily.
That's my 0.02. -
I need some help with a MAC Pro with Xserve that I am trying to help setup. My company is replacing a very old server. They just purchase a MAC Pro with Xserve with a Mac Raid card and 4 x 1TB drives. The server is just going to be for data storage. What is the best way to setup the RAID. Ideally I would like to have the operating system on a different partition with a RAID and the data on different partitions but I do not want a 1TB partition for just the operating system. What is going to be the best way to partition and RAID these drives. Also buy anything additional is not really an option.
It's not entirely clear to me what you have here.
You mention:
MacPro
XServe
which are two distinctly different systems. Do you have one physical machine or two?
I'm guessing you mean you have a Mac Pro with Mac OS X Server and that the MacPro has 4 x 1TB drives attached to the RAID card. That's partly based on the fact that the XServe can only handle 3 internal drives, not 4.
If that's the case then the best way to setup the drives depends largely on your preferences. Personally I'd look at something like a hardware RAID 5 of all the drives (results in a ≈3TB volume) which you can then partition into two parts (one of a few hundred GB for the OS and the rest for the data), but there are many other configurations that would be just as valid. -
Hi everyone,
i'm fairly new to RAID scene and i need help for creating RAID 5 with 8 disk's.
I have HP ProLiant DL380 G6 with 8 disk's, each 500 GB.
i'm trying to create RAID 5 and to have one spare disk. I have made array from 7 disk and then create logical drive.
the last disk (8-th) i used as spare.
up to now i think i'm ok???
what confuse me is:
7 HDD X 500GB= 3500GB
after creating array i get 3200 GB, where i lose 300 GB??
after creating logical drive i get 2700 GB, where i lose 500 GB???
from 2700GB i give 150GB for system partition and for data storage i have only 2550 GB.
Why i lose 800GB??
Can someone explain me how RAID 5 works, do i create it correctly and why i lose so much space???
Is there other way to create RAID 5 without losing so much space?
Thanks you in advnce.The first 'loss' you encounter (300MB) is due to megabyte counting/rounding. A 500GB disk contains about 500.000.000 bytes. This quite a bit less than if counted properly using binary. you loose about 24288000 bytes per disk this way!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mibibyte |
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Megabyte
the second loss is due to how raid works.in raid 5 data is written to multiple disks to improve reliability. the simplies t form uses 3 disks: a write will cause half of the data to be written to disk 1, half to disk 2 and the XOR of both datahalfs to disk
3. In this scenario you will loose 33% of storage space and you can loose up to one of 3 disks.
By adding more disks, data can be spread more and the ratio available/raw will increase, or you can write aditionnal crc data and increase resliency for failures.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RAID
To check the exact algoritmes using on you RAID adapter, I would recommend contacting the vendor (or checking their support site) From your numbres, I do not think you will be able to configure RAID 5 on the same disks and having more available
space for your data.

Installing Elements 11 on Mac. Need help with install error "Setup wants to make changes."
Installing Elements 11 on Mac 10.8.2. Need help with install error: Setup wants to make changes. Type your password to allow this." After entering Adobe password, nothing happens. Locked from further installation. Any ideas? Adobe phone support could not help.
Just before letting changes (installation in this case) be made on the system, Mac OS prompts for password & this has to be the Mac system password. This password prompt is the system's own native prompt & would accept the system password only. Please make sure it is the right system password (all/admin rights) and the installaion should run.

"Hi,I need a help something wrong happen with my ITunes ,during to the download progress,after few seconds is report ; U can not download,err"
in Using iPad •It's better to post the URL of the feed (as you have subsequently done) than the contents of the feed .
From the FeedValidator report the feed is basically OK for iTunes. There are several occasions where 'content:encoded' sections (following immediately on 'guid' tags) should be enclosed in
<description>...</description>
tags: however all this will be ignored by iTunes anyway and only applies to other readers. The 'potentially dangerous content' referred to by FeedValidator is within the 'content:encoded' tags and so isn't relevant to iTunes. They are referring to an inline css style, and I don't know whether this might cause a problem elsewhere.
You should really have a language tag, e.g.
<language>en-us</language>
(you have a dc:language tag but that's for a different system). This should be placed in the top section, before the first 'item' tag.
It's advisable to have an 'itunes:explicit' tag for each 'item' -
<itunes:explicit>yes IF CONTAINS ADULT MATERIAL, OTHERWISE no</itunes:explicit>
it's not compulsory if you have no adult material, but you must have a 'yes' if you do.
You can check your feed by subscribing in iTunes from the 'Advanced' menu - this has the same result as clicking the 'Subscribe' button on the Store page. If it works OK there you are ready to submit it. -
Hi. I am reinstalling Macbook Pro OS X from the "question mark icon". During process, there is a question "select the disk where to install Mac OS X" but there is no option/selection in the box. I really need your help guys. I need it badly. :'(
If you got the question mark and you do not see any partition to install OS X to, it is not good.
Close the OS X installer by pressing the red button at the top left corner of the Install OS X window, and open Disk Utility. Then, look at the left sidebar and tell me if you see your hard drive. You should see something like this:
Do not worry if you do not see Macintosh HD or if the option with an arrow shows a different name. This is normal.
If you see it, choose it, go to the Erase tab and erase the drive. Finally, close Disk Utility and reinstall OS X. You will lose everything if you do not have a backup.
If you do not see the drive, it is damaged and it has to be replaced. You can replace the hard drive of a MacBook Pro without voiding the warranty, and any 2'5" SATA hard drive is valid. If you are not an experienced user or you do not want to go inside the MacBook, take it to an Apple Store or reseller. -
I just got my 875P Neo and am trying to install my two Seagate 120 SATA drives. I'm not sure if Im supposed to plug them into SER1 and SER2 or do I connect them to SER3 and SER4 for the Promise controller. I want a Raid 0 configuration but I cant seem to get into the Raid Config Utility. If I hit the Ctrl-I when prompted on SER1 and 2 it does nothing....if I hit the Ctrl-F on SER3 and 4 It does nothing. I assume I have a setting or 2 off in the bios. It sees the 2 drives but wont allow me to configure t hem. Can anyone enlighten me before I go nuts? ?(
Ok, Ive talked to tech support and have gotten as far as seeing the hit Ctrl-I, when I do hit Ctrl-I nothing happens...I either hang and never enter the raid setup screen or it goes right by it to looking for a boot disk. It shows the 2 drives and their size but Im not able to setup the drives. Tech support suggested I flash the bios and emailed me the newest version. THe only problem is the instructions tell you to not flash the bios from the A drive and this is a new sysytem with no hard drives for me to copy the flash upgrade to....Man I have a headache ;(

790fx-gd70 need help setting up RAID 0
I can't get Windows XP to install in Raid0. I set up what appears to be a valid array and windows setup locks up every time. Tried installing on single HDD and everything works fine. Can anyone tell me which 2 SATA ports would be the best to use for the RAID array? Also what should the settings be in the BIOS? I'm also assuming that having 2 SATA DVD burners hooked should not be causing a conflict?
Some more input would be nice, about what your system looks like.
If it locks up without saying "media" or "disk" not found, the problem may very well lie elsewhere.
But you will be angry if your question isn't answered:
