Formatting problems on first RAID0 setup

I've been setting up RAID0 for the first time today on a 2 year old Mobo I have, the MSI 6380 Pro.
I have 2 identical IBM drives, 40GB each. They are both jumpered as Master, and have their own individual cable to IDE3 and IDE4.
I enabled RAID from the BIOS, then accessed the Promise FastTrack configuration to set up an array. Currently the 2 drives are on Array 1, striped, capacity is 80GB, and Functional.
Then, I started a Windows installation (tried both XP and 2003) by booting from the CD and chose to quick NTFS format the drive (Windows Setup also reports the capacity as 80gb correctly). However, when quick formatting, it hangs on 20% for a while, then reports the drive may be damaged. So I tried again with a full format which went all the way up to 100% then it error'ed out again!
I don't really know why its doing this :( the drives format and work fine when they're on non-raid. What could the problem be?

when i built the raid 0 array on my kt3 ultra aru i used the format and partition utilities on the xp boot floppies. you can download them for free from the microsoft site. there's numerous versions, depending upon the versio of xp you are running (or going to install). the'll also do ntfs.
this method also allows you to control the cluster size if you wish - which some believe should be equal to (or others say some multipe of) your raid stripe size.
for example, the kt3 Fastrak133Lite raid controller likes: FORMAT C: /Z:64
the /Z:64 switch forces 64K clusters, which wind up being best for the KT3 64K stripe. the *actual* cluster size per drive will be 32K.
regardless - try the xp boot floppies...
good luck!

  • Problems with first time setup

    Hi to all and please be kind to this new applee.  I am vary familar with Windows but not Apple.
    I am having problems with first time setup.  Choice wifi network ZAJ34 has full connectino bars but requires a password to connect with it.  Tried to use "Connect to iTunes" and plugged in the USB cable.  Windows7 ran ok and "MyComputer\Apple iPod" shows up in Explorer.  All I get to is the screen that shows the cable pointing to the music symbol.  I am new to Applie iPod so I am totally lost.  I have the Apple iPod touch 8GB Black (4th Generation) CURRENT MODEL.
    Operating System - iPod touch User Guide (For iOS 5.1 Software) downloaded, not sure.
    Thanks

    I find this,
    Before restoring:
    Verify that you are using the latest version of iTunes. [How?  I am not past selecting a network.]
    Back up your device. [Do not know how, again, I am not past selecting a network.]
    Transfer and sync content to your computer. [Hooked up the USB cable and nothing happens.]
    Restoring your iOS device
    Connect your device to your computer. [Hooked up the USB cable and nothing happens.]
    Select your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch when it appears in iTunes under Devices. Select the Summary tab, and click the Restore button. [iPod touch when it appears in iTunes under Devices, is it in Control Panel.  I looked in Device Manager and so only drivers etc.

    I deleted the Entourage contacts as that seemed to be the program that was causing the problems.  When I synced this morning, now all my contacts are gone from every where. 
    How can I restore to my last back?  If I restore, it will ask to restore to the back that was just made… which has no contacts?

  • Date Format problem...

    Hi users,
    Forte version : 2.e.2 and ForteWebSDK
    Datacase : Oracle
    We have a problem with a simple HTML text field which acccepts
    a date. When we try to update the record with some date, the following
    exception occurs:
    24-Jun-1998 04:32:28 : XV01086 : Execute failed for SQL statement in
    project Rap
    tServices, class RaptSqlMethods, method updateActivity, methodId 104,
    line 51, e
    rror from database is:
    ORA-01830: date format picture ends before converting entire input
    string
    The Oracle manual says that the above exception occurs when there are
    some extra characters on that field, which is not the case. In fact,
    we raise our own exception for the cases like : o1-Apr-1997,
    01-apr-97 etc. The correct format is 01-apr-1998.
    Same date soemtimes is added to the database successfully. Waht I mean
    to say that the exception deos not occur consistently.
    We just conevert the String taken from the HTML field into a Forte
    DateTimeData Object and send it to database. May be, the conversion
    part is causing the problem. But, once again the problem is not
    consistent.
    Any ideas in this will be appreciated.
    Thanx in advance

    We had the same problem when our application first went live. The
    default date format for our Oracle database is 'dd-mmm-yy' without the
    time component. The default format for datatype DateTimeData is
    'dd-mmm-yyyy hh:mm:ss'. Since we did not want to change the default date
    format for the Database, we included in our service partitions an Alter
    Session statement to change the NLS_Date_format attribute in Oracle to
    conform to the Forte DateTimeData format. It worked.

    Subject: Re: Date Format problem...
    I was having the same problem a few weeks back when I would
    read/write
    dates to Oracle. I was using objects of type DateTimeData and I would
    occasionally get errors like you said you were. I found discovered my
    problem. Sometimes I would process a null date and would get an error.
    So to
    resolve this issue, I simply changes my objects of type DateTimeData to
    type
    DateTimeNullable. This enabled my Forte Application to handle regular
    dates
    as well as null dates. I have not gotten any oracle errors since then
    with
    regards to dates. Hope this helps.

  • Records truncating (formatting problem)

    Hello all,
    I am writing a script wherein a SQL generates another SQL.
    Lets say that we have a varchar2(2000) column with around 1500 characters in each record. When I try to write a script it only returns the first few characters of it and doesnt print the remaining data in the record.
    Example
    insert into baba values(353521,'200410',1,1,18-JUL-
    03,'ELOPEZ5','Y','Y' ,,'Have
    insert into baba values(353521,'200410',1,2,18-JUL-03,'ELOPEZ5','Y','Y','Give
    It truncates the remaining part of the inserts statements. I guess this is a formatting problem. I set the linesize to 999 and it didnt solve my problem.Please let me know what else I can do.
    Thanks,

  • The problem of Shockwave10 online setup

    It seems the online setup of Shockwave10 has problem. Many
    times, shockwave movie can not be seen after Shockwave10 is
    installed on line, especially on Win98/WinXP(I guess it has the
    same matter in winMe) OS.(And I guess it relates to IE version, but
    I have no time to test it)
    And if online setup was executed firstly, installing of
    Shockwave10 offline setup will often fail(It prompts success, but
    shockwave movies can not be seen yet). very strange. If online
    setup didn't execute before, Shockwave10 offline setup would alway
    succeed, no problem.
    Starting online setup is the default mode of shockwave
    movie, so customers would not download the offline setup program in
    general, even if you give a hyperlink. Many customers telephoned me
    directly and said "not work!", and then give up visiting the movie.
    I feel headache for that.
    I think many of you had met this program. What did you do
    for that?

    ... I have used parallels desktop and google chrome and internet explorer and nothing works.
    Have you tried Safari? Works for me.

  • Table format problem - Please help

    Here is what I am trying to do:
    I have a set of documents in xml fomrat following the docbook standard.  In these documents there are too types of table.  The standard table with its element tag TABLE and an informal table with element tag INFORMALTABLE.
    When these are opened and my format file and EDD applied I want the Standard Tables to have a blue shaded header and the Informal Tables to have a grey shaded header.  I have created the appropriate table templates.  I cannot figure a way via the EDD to specify the table format type that works.  When I open an xml and apply the edd and the format all the tables open using the table format that is first in the list.
    What can I do to the EDD to achieve my goal?
    Thank you in advance

    Russ,
         Thanks for letting me know my messages were not getting through. I just replied to the original rather than going through the forums interfaces and had no idea there was a problem. I attempted to post twice on this thread today:
        The messages were:
    Russ,
       You are correct. An EDD can specify an initial table format. The word "initial" is key. It is the format that is used when a new table is created, whether the new table is created interactively by the user or by opening an SGML or XML document. Initial table formats do not affect existing tables. In fact, for a table created interactively, the initial table format determines the format that is highlighted when the Insert Table dialog first comes up. The user is free to choose another format if desired.
        and
    Qualar,
        R/w rules are not context sensitive so that if you are using a tgroup element within FM, they will not be able to help. The definition of tgroup in your EDD can set an initial table format of Format A if the tgroup is within the table element and Format B if the tgroup is within informaltable. Just make sure you have imported the EDD into the template before opening the XML document. As you've noticed, if you open the XML document and then import the EDD, the tables already exist and their format is not affected.

    Did you ever solve this?
    I don't know if my problem is similar to yours, but here's what I'm trying to do:
    When you have multiple lines/paragraphs in a text object, each  can have it's own horizontal formating. Any ideas how these can be changed independently via RDC?
    When I change the property HorAlignment on a TextObject it changes it for all the paragraphs, but in the CR designer you can modify each independently.

  • K8N Neo: flash to bios 1.5 with Raid0 setup. Do I dare?

    Hi,
    I noticed that a new bios (1.5) was available for my K8N Neo board. The 1.5 bios also updates the nvraid bios. Since I am running a bootable raid0 setup, I am a bit hesitant to upgrade since I fear that it might screw up my raid0 array.
    So, my question is: what will happen to my raid0 setup? Do I dare to flash?
    Also, is the cpu temp issue resolved?
    /E

    Iv'e been running the 1.5 version for some time and have no problems .
    I have been updating / downgrading bioses alot , no problem with the raid(s) .
    Just make sure to have the latest raid class driver and storage driver ( 510.2600.446 / 2.60 ) installed in
    your windows installation before flashing bios and you shouldn't have any problems .
    Update ide/sata controllers and raid controller through device manager if neccesary .
    The raid arrays reside on the harddisk themselves not in the raidbios
    the raidbios take care of the communication through drivers .
    The temperature readings still has the problem with to high readout at cold boot
    at warm boot/restart the readings are correct .

    I need advise and help with this problem .
    First , I have been with Mac for many years ( 14 to be exact ) I do have some knowledge and understanding of Apple product .
    At the present time I'm having lots of problems with the router so I was looking in to some info , and come across one web site regarding : port forwarding , IP addresses .
    In my frustration , amongst lots of open web pages tutorials and other useless information , I come across innocent looking link and software to installed called Genieo , which suppose to help with any router .
    Software ask for permission to install , and about 30 % in , my instinct was telling me , there is something not right . I stop installation . Delete everything , look for any
    trace in Spotlight , Library . Nothing could be find .
    Now , every time I open Safari , Firefox or Chrome , it will open in my home page , but when I start looking for something in steed of Google page , there is
    ''search.genieo.com'' page acting like a Google . I try again to get raid of this but I can not find solution .
    With more research , again using genieo.com search eng. there is lots of articles and warnings . From that I learn do not use uninstall software , because doing this will install more things where it come from.
    I do have AppleCare support but its to late to phone them , so maybe there some people with knowledge , how to get this of my computer
    Any help is welcome , English is my learned language , you may notice this , so I'm not that quick with the respond

    Genieo definitely doesn't help with your router. It's just adware, and has no benefit to you at all. They scammed you so that they could display their ads on your computer.
    To remove it, see:
    http://www.thesafemac.com/arg-genieo/
    Do not use the Genieo uninstaller!

    Hi Vasu,
    Not in the Mapping of IR.
    In BIC Mapping Designer you have to test with the standard Mappings by providing the sample file whether the Conversion is happening correctly or not.
    You have to take the same input file that what ever you are having now.
    So that it will say clearly what is the problem in converting the XMLto the required EDI Format...
    Check whether you have any Date Format Values are comming from the input file.

    My scenerio iam posting IDOC to a flat file with content conversion in the receiver side,the mapping got executed successfully and in the audit log i found that the error was after the 'Start converting XML document content to plain text'.
    This means that error occured during content conversion of XML to the prescribed file format.
    Can anyone suggest any better approach using which we may trace the junk data in IDoc. Manual adhoc approach could take time and is error prone.
