4TB, RAID5, and a P67A-G43. I gotta make it work...

Right now I am creating a new computer setup solely for the purpose of having Windows 7 x64 running off of a single 4TB RAID5 (3X 2TB). I know it's (theoretically) possible, as this board is a UEFI-type board, and there's just no other way for this system to be completed without this RAID setup. I purchased this board with the associated DDR3 RAM and i3-2120 CPU yesterday, set it all up, and can boot normally. I did a test run by installing Windows 7 to a single 2TB HDD in ACHI mode, and followed up with updating the UEFI BIOS to the latest 1B version (2011-04-14 date of release). However, I'm now running into a number of roadblocks.
1. The very first thing I did once I could confirm everything was set up properly was set the SATA connections to RAID mode. Rebooting the computer, I Ctrl-I enter the Intel ROM Option screen. All three 2TB drives are listed, and I go ahead and create a new RAID volume. I choose RAID5 with 64kb clusters, and the max size of roughly 3.7TB is created. Problem is when all is done, the volume under 'Bootable' is no. That's obviously not good. I try anyway to force it by booting a UEFI-optioned Win7 setup disk, convert the volume to GPT and did both an automatic new partition on one try and manually make the EFI, MBR, and the NTFS partitions on another. The full partition of roughly 3.7TB minus the two minor partitions is listed and not broken up or cut-off at 2TB. I get the error along the lines of "Windows cannot be installed to this disc... the selected disk is of the GPT partition style", but I can still select Next and proceed - if I booted the setup disk outside UEFI boot, then I would get a second error and could not proceed. The installation gets to the second to last step without incident (the step where it restarts before Completing Installation), and then once I get back to the UEFI bot option screen, I don't have the option to either select the volume under the Hard Drive listing, nor is it listed under the UEFI boot option listing either. How can I make this RAID5 setup bootable?
2. Frustrated with that, I retested by doing the same thing as above, but this time I intentionally set the RAID5 volume to a size of 1.8TB. This new volume was now listed as bootable, so I proceeded with the Win7 installation. Again, once the second to last step was reached, the computer restarted, and I had to go back into the UEFI boot order screen to make adjustments. This time, the volume was listed under the Hard Drive options, but still not under the UEFI boot options. Either way, I could still not boot from the RAID volume to finish the installation.
I've Googled the known universe trying to figure out how to get this to work, but still haven't found the answer. What I need to know is two-tiered: How can I - with the built in Intel RAID controller - create a bootable 4TB RAID5 volume, and then, how do I successfully install Windows 7 x64 to it? I need to know an answer relatively soon as if it turns out it is not possible, that's fine, but I have less than two weeks to return the motherboard. There is no other way around this - for this specific application a single 4TB RAID5 bootable environment with no other drives or storage is required. And if all else fails and I do have to return this, are there any boards within the same $150 price range that can accomplish this?
Other specs and overview:
The board is a P67A-G43 (B3).
UEFI is at version 1B.
The CPU is a i3-2120.
The Intel ROM Option 'application' is at version 10.0.1.XXX. I believe there is a 10.5.1.XXX version that supports booting >2TB volumes, but don't know how that applies to this board.
The system functions normally when SATA is in IDE or ACHI mode.
I can upload some screenshots as needed after work today.

I've been using GPT. That's not the problem. It's the fact that I cannot complete a 7x64 installation on a RAID, combined with the handicap of not being able to create a bootable RAID >2TB - something UEFI, GPT, and 7x64 are specifically designed to do.
Quote from: Bas on 22-June-11, 01:39:12
Why not use Windows Software RAID?? And boot of an SSD?
Makes you controller independent and it's a lot faster too
Also no >2TB problems.
Because that's exactly what we are not doing for our testing.

A wet phone is out of warranty. This is considered user damage. Even if you were able to get it to start now, the chances of it working for long are slim. I suggest going to Apple and see about an OOW replacement. One for the iPhone 4 is only $149USD and it would come with a short warranty. It is a refurbished device and you would not be worried about encountering additional problems.

Thinkpad Yoga and UP710E stylus, how do you make them work together?

So my work just got me a Thinkpad Yoga as per my request
I have confirmed that in the Device Manager I do see: "HID-compliant touch screen"
I have also gone out on my own and purchased the UP710E wacom stylus, as suggested at various points on this board and on other sites, as something that should work with the Yoga
I've also purchased Manga Studios as an art program that is supported on this device (it seems to run fine) and with the pen.
I turned on Manga Studios (and MSPaint for good measure), pressed pen to screen and... nothing. Eraser to screen.. nothing. Mouse? Works fine. Stylus that everything and everyone indicated should work? Nope.
So.... what am I missing? Is there a driver I should be looking at? Everything should be up to date.. some in-between program I need to install? Try this when the wind is blowing south by southwest?
Help please?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Thanks.
Here's how the support site describes your MTM:
i5-4300U(2.9GHz), 4GB RAM, 500GB 5400rpm HD, 12.5in 1366x768 LCD, Intel HD Graphics,
Wireless Option, Bluetooth, UltraNav, Secure Chip, 8c Li-Poly, Win8.1 Pro 64
I'll defer to others who might know definitively, but it's my understanding that the 1366x768 LCDs are not Wacom digitizer-equipped, whereas the FHD panels are. That would be one possibility for what you're seeing.

AEBS and ADSL... can't make it work - please help?!?!?

I've searched the forums and the internet and cannot get this to work. We just moved to Japan and are now using ADSL for our connection through HeroNet. If I plug the ADSL modem into the back of my iMac it connect using the ISP settings provided. If I connect the modem to the AEBS the green light comes on the AEBS and I run the Airport Setup Assistant, it tells me I'm connected, Airport signal comes on the top screen bar, a timer starts going indicating active PPPoe connection, I try to bring up a web page and... nothing! Just keeps trying and trying to connect. I've tried restarting the modem, unplugging and plugging back in, unplugging AEBS, restarting the computer... none of the simple of the simple trouble shooting helps. Internet Connect pops up repeated with "Cannot find PPPoe server" message. Network Diagnostics even tells me that when examining the Airport connection "You appear to have a working internet connection" and tells me I have mistyped the website names Obviously, not the problem. Seems Airport thinks it's connected to the internet but the applications can't use it to get online? Any thoughts would be VERY welcome as I've run out of options and really missing Airport. TIA.

Oops. I just realized I'm using AEBS to refer to an Airport Express. I have ONLY an Airport Express at this time. So there is only one ethernet port on the Express and that seems to be the confusion. I can wirelessly configure the Express using the iMac Admin Utility if the Express is plugged into the ADSL modem. I am confident I'm entering everything correctly and once I get the setting updated on the Express, the Airport says it's connecting to the PPPoE server and the timer starts counting next to the Airport status monitor (top of screen) suggesting the computer thinks it's connected. Just no ability to make apps use the internet... enter web page and Safari just spins and spins trying but then eventually says it can't connect. No other apps can get "online" either. Any way to make this work wirelessly with my current setup?

In limbo between Snow Leopard and Lion. would love to make everything work in 10.6.8 again.

I had installed Lion, and saw that a number of my applications were no long available (including Quicken, Microsoft Office, some profession specific applications, not sure what else. You can't even update the older Quicken files to newer versions in Lion). This happened to coincide with my harddrive crashing. Off to the Genius bar, luckily I back up with Time Machine. I had Snow Leopard reinstalled as part of the visit to the Genius bar. Now I have the problem of other applications no longer working with Snow Leopard. iPhoto, Desktop/screen saver in System preferences, Mail seems to have lost all old emails and preferences. I am still looking around to see what else is acting quirky.
So, at this point I am trying to figure out how to get things working in Snow leopard again, or find out if I need to update other applications to be Lion compatible, and if I am stuck going back to Lion, (I kinda prefer Snow Leopard) How do I determine how many and which unsupported applications I would need to update before doing so.

thank you William for taking the time to help.
Just going to take a moment to be clear on what is going on with my MacMail. It seems that any messages that I had in my generic mailbox are all still there, however I had several addtional mailboxes for sorting out mail from different companies, people, etc. I also had Rules for all the corresponding mailboxes. These all seem to have disappeared. Also I seem to be running Version 4.5 (1084).
I can't seem to find the Library folder you mention. I went "Finder>Go>Home" clicked on home and I got a folder containing the following folders (plus a few others) Applications, Desktop, Documents, Downloads etc...
Am I looking in the right place. I also did a spotlight search for "Library" and no folders with that name came up.
I am not sure how much of a speed bump that is.
Thank you again for your help

Have an eMac, Powerbook and a macbook, how do I make it work?

Hi
My eMac is running 10.4.11 so I can't subscribe to Netflix Canada with it. My macbook is running the same OS and I'm supposed to be able to subscribe but I don't know how to hook it up to my tv sets.
My Television sets are non hd - the old style with S video and RCA inputs.
So, if I got a Apple TV how would I hook it up to my tv sets and could I stream it through a Powerbook G4 or my macbook.
A little background is that my husband is very ill and is using my Powerbook bedside to watch movies. I just can't find or get out to get that many. I'm hoping to find a way I can stream Netflix to both our rooms through our computers.
Oh, my eMac is in the livingroom and I would like to know what I need to link it to a TV with S video or RCA.
Your help would be much appreciated

Basic voltage measurement, with Meter, Relay, and Load. How do I make it work?

Hello,
I have LV2010, and I am controlling a Meter, Relay, and Load.
Here is what I need. Please give me any crazy idea that you can think of to explain why this will work all day and then after shift change it hangs, and locks repeatedly.
I have looked at our LAN, and Server usage. The second shift operator likes to wear nitrile gloves so we asked that he take them off and that seamed to help but didn't solve it. I have stood and watched both operators and their methods seam to be the same. I can operate the test for a dozen cycles and it is perfect, then he takes over and it locks on the second cycle.
The program is very simple with a loop that calls the subvi for the equipment and then records the data for a service to push to the server.
So after you laugh at what a poor post this is, please give me any off the wall idea you have because it isn't making any sense to me.
Thanks,
Ben P.

But I would like to throw out one suggestion. You have a lot of blank space in your block diagram. You have to scroll across the screen a whole lot. This makes it hard to look at the code and to understand what it does. Make it easier for others to read by eliminating the blank space and moving objects closer together. I have two monitors side by side and I still can't see all the code without scrolling.
Something is wrong with that block diagram (looking at OCV-CCV.vi). I ran the block diagram cleanup on it, and it stretches out a lot of structures very wide even when they hardly have any code in them.
It would be good if someone from NI can look at that VI and see if they get the same results and figure out why the cleanup tool is failing on this one.
Ben P, you are missing alot of subVI's and typedefs. You may want to create a source distribution and upload a zip file of that so we can see all the files.
Look at the event structure in your Wait Case. You have a Run:Value change event and Change Info:Value change event. Both of those have their event properties set to lock front panel until event completes, but yet the event may not complete right away since the event structure is inside your state machine in a case that may not be up for execution right away.

Correct. When you did that, you voided all warranty/support, & forfeited the right to an out of warranty replacement.
There was nothing wrong with the screen I bought,
And, exactly, how do you know that? Since Apple DOES NOT sell iPhone parts, there is no official source for genuine parts. Thus, many on the market are counterfeit & produce nothing but problems.
Good luck.
