Completely messed up Raid-Array and Partition! How to delete and create new Raid-Array?

Hello,
I am using Ideapad U310 and tried to clean install Windows 8 and use my SSD as CACHE and Hibernate-Partition.
So, I was able to get to the Intel CTRL+I-RAID Config Menu and there I was able to create and delete my RAIDS.
Unfortunately I did not setup the Partition Size correctly, thus I only have a 50 GB Partition combined with my SSD and my HDD. This is what it looks like in the Intel Storage Manager:
As you can see both, my SSD and HDD appears, but only have small partitions on the right. And Windows 8 only recognizes this small partitions, as you can see here:
And now I am NOT able to get to the Intel RAID CTRL+I-menu before Windows starts, where I could delete this array.
My Partitions are "empty", so I dont care if anything is delete. I just want to use raid with FULL CAPACITY of my harddrives. But how can I delete the RAID Arrays and reconfigure them correctly?
When I change in the BIOS from RAID to AHCI I am able to install Windows 8 again with the whol CAPACITY of my SSD and HDD. But then I will not be able to use the RAID via Intel Storage Manager...
Hopefully someone could help me.
Thank you in advance.

Solstice DiskSuite[TM] Software: How to Delete and Reset a Lost Root Password on a System With a Mirrored Root Disk [ID 1010755.1]
Solution
Steps to Follow
How to delete and reset a lost root password on a system with a mirrored root disk.
1) Insert the Solaris[TM] Operating System CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive.
2) Once the CD-ROM is in the drive, perform a stop-a. This brings the system down to the "ok" prompt.
3) From the "ok" prompt, perform a single-user boot from the Solaris OS CD-ROM.
ok boot cdrom -s4) At the "#" prompt, determine which disk is the system's boot disk (containing the root file system). There are several Oracle architectures and various configurations of systems when it concerns a boot disk. As a general rule, most boot disks are attached to controller 0 (c0). Usually, their SCSI target is
either 3 (t3) or 0 (t0). However, Oracle machines are very flexible, and the boot disk could be at a different location. If you are not sure which disk is your boot disk, perform the following steps to determine the location of the boot device:
a) # eeprom boot-device
The output might appear to be simple, such as "disk" or "disk1" or more complicated, such as a pathname "/iommu/sbus/espdma@4,8400000/...../sd@3,0:a".
b) Make note of the boot-device. If the boot-device is a pathname, it is beyond the scope of this information to provide the location of the customized boot disk. However, for most configurations,
finding the customized boot disk is an easy task. The "Format" command shows all available disks:
#format
Searching for disks...done
AVAILABLE DISK SELECTIONS:
(enter its number): c) Enter d to exit format.
Now, you will have an idea what disks are on the system. Therefore, if the boot-device is "disk" and format shows "c0t0d0" (on some systems "c0t3d0") then that is the boot device. If boot-device
shows "disk1" and format shows "c0t1d0," then that is the boot device. If format shows multiple disks, then based on what the "eeprom boot-device" command shows, the system's boot disk would be:
boot-device format
disk c0t0d0 or c0t3d0 (machine dependent)
disk1 c1t0d0
disk2 c0t2d0
disk3 c0t3d0 or c0t0d0 (machine dependent)
and so on ....
5) Because the system was not brought down gracefully (no root password means having to use the Stop-a keystroke to "crash" the system), you need to run "fsck" to clean the root partition (slice). The fsckalso confirms that you selected the proper slice.
# fsck /dev/rdsk/c1t0d0s0
where the X and Y are determined by the previous procedure. It is also possible to have a root partition which is not on slice 0 (s0), but, again, that is not a standard configuration.
The output of "fsck" looks like this:
** /dev/rdsk/c1t0d0s0
** last mounted on /
** Phase 1 .....
The second line in the output of "fsck" ("** Last mounted on /") confirms that this is the correct root filesystem partition. Answer "y" to any questions fsck asks. There shouldn't be too many items
needing repair. If there are, there is a possibility of a corrupted root filesystem. After fsck is finished, mount the root partition:
# mount /dev/dsk/c1t0d0s0 /a
Again, X and Y are the same as for the fsck command.
For example:
# mount /dev/dsk/c1t0d0s0 /a
6) From the root prompt, set the proper TERM type command (such as vt100, dtterm, sun, and so on)
by entering this command:
# TERM=sun; export TERM
7) Use the VI text editor to edit the /etc/shadow file:
# vi /a/etc/shadow
8) The first line of the /etc/shadow file is the one you want to modify.
It looks like this:
root:c3.yAVmYodWsc:6445::::::
9) Delete every character between the first and second colons in the first line of the file. When you finish deleting the characters, the line should look like this:
root::6445::::::
10) Press the Escape key, then enter the following to save the file and exit vi:
:wq!
11) Use the VI text editor to edit the /etc/system file andremove the "rootdev" line shown below:
# vi /a/etc/system
*rootdev:/pseudo/md@0:0,0,blk
Don't comment out the "rootdev" line. Actually remove it.
12) In the /a/etc/vfstab file, replace the lines for the system filesystem meta-devices with their underlying partitions. For example, change lines from
/dev/md/dsk/d0 /dev/md/rdsk/d0 / ufs 1 no -
to
/dev/dsk/c1t0d0s0 /dev/rdsk/c1t0d0s0 / ufs 1 no -
ONLY change the lines for root (/) and the filesystems that were affected by the actions you took in step 1 of this procedure. All other metadevices may stay as is in this file.
13) Unmount root, check the root filesystem, and then stop the system:
# cd /
# umount /a
# fsck /dev/rdsk/c1t0d0s0
# stop-a
14) Boot to single-user mode:
ok boot -swTHIS STEP IS VERY IMPORTANT; YOU MUST BOOT TO SINGLE-USER MODE TO AVOID FILESYSTEM CORRUPTION.
If the system does not boot to single user mode, you might have made a mistake in the previous steps.
15) Because the root password was cleared in an earlier step, press Return when prompted for the the root password. Once you are in single-user mode, you must clear the metamirrors and all the sub-mirrors for the root filesystem. For example, if root (/) is d0, run the following command:
# metaclear -f -r d0
Running the metaclear command not only clears the metamirror but also clears the submirrors that are part of this mirror.
16) When the metamirror is cleared, continue the boot up to multiuser mode by either pressing CTRL-D or by entering the following:
# exit
Now everything should be as it was, except that the system partition is on the underlying partition and isn't mirrored. You will simply need to re-create the metadevices for the root mirror as you had originally.
many thanks

Hi,
Halt your machine.
Boot with fail-safe mode.
format and list out the disks. (You can get the root & mirror disk (c#t#d#) details from /etc/lvm/md.tab of your root or mirror disk. Earlier explorer output may help)
Mount the root disk and remove the password entry in /etc/shadow
umount it.
Mount the mirror disk and remove the password entry in /etc/shadow
umount it.
reboot the server.
Hope this helps!

HT201250 I just did my first back up with TM and My Passport for Mac, when done adn went into the box ....options...to try and fidn how to delete trash. Then I went back to see if it was erady to do its next scheduled back up and it says there is an error

I just did my initial back up to hard drive (My Passport for Mac 1TB) with TIme Machine on Snow Leopard. I had wanted to omit trash but couldn't find it. All went great and finished in an hour. Then said would restart at 6pm. I went into options about 20 minutes before (when it was done initially) to try and find how to delete trash from being backed up next time.. THis messed things up and now it doesn't recognize the disk and won't let me manually back up...says error. What do I do?

I have just started to use Muse for our design agency and learning how to build ourselves a new site, I have managed to create a basic lightbox which contains sliding images, what I need to do now is have a pop up window which goes into detail about the projects, what I would like is a piece of text or icon that when you roll over it and then click a separate window pops up with additional information in, once finished reading the info you can then click to close the box, any advice on how to do this?

The best way to do what you're asking is with the Composition widget. Start with the Tooltip preset, which, by default shows the info on rollover. You can change the option to show on click, which is what you're after. You can also add the close button or have the info disappear on rollout.

How to delete an element in an array...(simple way)

hi,
Newbie here... please help how to delete an element in an array list?
there are alot of codes but they're complicated for a newbie like me..
(simple codes would be better ..:) thank you...

just overrite the position of the element that need to be deleted with the next element in the array..
by doing this, element need to be deleted will not be accessibe..
i think u got..what i'm saying.
thnx..Mak,
Say we wish to delete the second element of an array a[1]. Do you really believe that a[1] = a[2] somehow magically deletes a[1]? I really don't think so Tim.
Two eggs, minus 1, equals two eggs? Interesting theory, but I think you're probably wrong.
*@OP:* My advise is just use an ArrayList.

How do delete and reinstall Lightroom 5 using Creative Cloud?

Hello, it seems (according to support) that I have a corrupt version of Lightroom 5 and I need to delete and reinstall. I actually have a version that is not corrupt but when I try to do a Edit it, such as open in layers or merge to hdr, it will default to the corrupt version. So bottom line how to I end up with one version that is not corrupt. I read something about accessing uninstaller in utilities but I don't see Lightroom listed. I do see Creative Cloud listed. Is that what I am supposed to uninstall?
Thanks,
J. Paul

Thanks for your help here but I resolved this problem but created a much larger one by not backing up my Lightroom .lrcat properly. While working with Adobe support I didn't do a Lightroom backup (my mistake) and I lost the current 2014 edits that were in that catalog. I had to revert to a much older catalog backup. I was under the (wrong) impression that if I was doing daily backups with Time Machine and Drobo that my catalog was intact.

How to delete order created against notification

hi gurus,
Someone tell me how to delete order created against notification. & also PR created against it.
Regards,
Radhika

Hello
You can set the deletion flag only when the order is business completed - CLSD status (no open costs remaining on the order). Deletion flag is set to the order when you want to archive the order. Till the order has a CLSD status, the del flag setting in the menu will remain inactive.
Any open PR created against the order is automatically set to deletion when the order is set to TECO - tech completed status.
For your scenario:
If you dont want to use the order and the order is with CRTD status - you can set the 'Do not Execute' flag. It will set the order to CLSD and NCMP (Not completed) status. this will also delete your PR
In case your order is already released - you will have to set the CLSD status for your purpose

Hi,
You can use the function module RS_FUNCTION_DELETE to do that.
Make sure you are not deleting any standard FM's.
Example
      call function 'RS_FUNCTION_DELETE'
           exporting
                funcname          = 'ZFM_NAME" " Function modue name
                suppress_popups   = 'X' " TO suppress any pop-ups that come when you delete
           exceptions
                error_message     = 1
                cancelled         = 2
                function_released = 3
                others            = 4.

Thanks in advance

I just want to make sure, this is the only way to do what i mentioned ? or it could be done another way !a) write the data to a new file
b) delete the old file
c) write the data to a newer file
d) delete the new file
e) rename the newer file to the old file name.

Superfish and Ransomeware, how is superfish and ransomeare being installed on my Mac, i do not download free anything,i use no mail checkers...

There exist some vulnerability in Yosemite.. The last 5 months i have had to remove Superfish 5 times, and Ransomeware 15 times.. Only browser i use is safari, closed source. I have 2 ext Web of Trust, Blur.. Whenever i would sign off from internet a full white screen flashed and then desktop appeared, this also occurs on startup, full white screen flashed then desktop... I had to re calibrate the monitor setting each time this occurs,. WHY??????? Use terminal to de fishy my mac and find nothing installed, how is superfish and ransomeware still functioning after a complete erase and 5.5 hours of restoring from scratch???? Maleware byte does nothing and or finds nothing..

Pete here is Etrcheck--
Problem description:
Startup got a full white screen for 5 seconds then desktop appeared, started ff and when window and tabs showed white screen flashed tabs then normal window for tabs appeared, when i quite ff the full white screen appeared and then the desktop, after update to 10.10.2 those problems did not occur on ff 35.0.1 . I decided to test with older ff vol and thats when superfish script would run and white screen when ever i went to another application, Suspect ff 28 to be corrupt, or some superfish tool bar may be on the mac..
