Grub not detecting Windows on RAID 0 array.

I'm having some trouble with my RAID array. I have tried to research this, but all I can find is how to install Arch Linux ONTO an array, not how to detect Windows on one, and configure grub for it. I have two SSDs in a RAID 0 configuration, which holds my Windows 7 installation. I then have two HDDs in JBOD. One of those HDDs is my mass storage drive for Windows and Linux, the other is my Arch Linux install.
The problem is that--with os-prober installed--Grub isn't detecting my Windows install. I was trying Fedora when I converted my Windows install to RAID 0, and Fedora picked up on it when I ran grub-mkconfig with os-prober installed. Grub at that point was pointing at /dev/mapper/<some random-seeming string> for Windows, and it worked.
Now that I'm back "home" to Arch Linux, I am trying to get grub to see Windows, but it never detects it. /dev/mapper/ is empty except for 'control', and /dev contains sda and sdb, which are the drives that are supposed to be in the array. At this point, I'm completely lost. I'm not even sure if this is software or hardware raid. I thought it to be hardware, because my motherboard has a RAID option rom on it, which is what I used to build the array, but the /dev/mapper stuff makes me think it's software.
Can anyone at least get me pointed in the right direction?
Thank you,

Well, I did add ntfs to my initramfs, but it still dropped into an emergency mode terminal. I checked to make sure that it was successful, and the ntfs kernel module was loaded. Any ideas?
# lsmod | grep ntfs run in emergency shell:
ntfs 191626 0
/etc/mkinitcpio.conf:
# vim:set ft=sh
# MODULES
# The following modules are loaded before any boot hooks are
# run. Advanced users may wish to specify all system modules
# in this array. For instance:
# MODULES="piix ide_disk reiserfs"
MODULES="ext4 ntfs"
# BINARIES
# This setting includes any additional binaries a given user may
# wish into the CPIO image. This is run last, so it may be used to
# override the actual binaries included by a given hook
# BINARIES are dependency parsed, so you may safely ignore libraries
BINARIES=""
# FILES
# This setting is similar to BINARIES above, however, files are added
# as-is and are not parsed in any way. This is useful for config files.
# Some users may wish to include modprobe.conf for custom module options
# like so:
# FILES="/etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf"
FILES=""
# HOOKS
# This is the most important setting in this file. The HOOKS control the
# modules and scripts added to the image, and what happens at boot time.
# Order is important, and it is recommended that you do not change the
# order in which HOOKS are added. Run 'mkinitcpio -H <hook name>' for
# help on a given hook.
# 'base' is _required_ unless you know precisely what you are doing.
# 'udev' is _required_ in order to automatically load modules
# 'filesystems' is _required_ unless you specify your fs modules in MODULES
# Examples:
## This setup specifies all modules in the MODULES setting above.
## No raid, lvm2, or encrypted root is needed.
# HOOKS="base"
## This setup will autodetect all modules for your system and should
## work as a sane default
# HOOKS="base udev autodetect pata scsi sata filesystems"
## This is identical to the above, except the old ide subsystem is
## used for IDE devices instead of the new pata subsystem.
# HOOKS="base udev autodetect ide scsi sata filesystems"
## This setup will generate a 'full' image which supports most systems.
## No autodetection is done.
# HOOKS="base udev pata scsi sata usb filesystems"
## This setup assembles a pata mdadm array with an encrypted root FS.
## Note: See 'mkinitcpio -H mdadm' for more information on raid devices.
# HOOKS="base udev pata mdadm encrypt filesystems"
## This setup loads an lvm2 volume group on a usb device.
# HOOKS="base udev usb lvm2 filesystems"
## NOTE: If you have /usr on a separate partition, you MUST include the
# usr, fsck and shutdown hooks.
HOOKS="base udev autodetect pata scsi sata dmraid filesystems usbinput fsck"
# COMPRESSION
# Use this to compress the initramfs image. By default, gzip compression
# is used. Use 'cat' to create an uncompressed image.
#COMPRESSION="gzip"
#COMPRESSION="bzip2"
#COMPRESSION="lzma"
#COMPRESSION="xz"
#COMPRESSION="lzop"

The systemd journal is still showing the same errors I posted earlier.

[SOLVED] Grub Not Detecting Windows

Hello,
So here's the scenario:
I initially had Ubuntu and Windows 8, but couldn't boot, so I used boot-repair (via live Ubuntu), and it got fixed; I could use Windows 8 again (Ubuntu didn't matter).
I then deleted Ubuntu, then installed Arch instead. Grub was successfully installed, Arch and Windows 8 are shown, except when I choose Windows 8, it goes to the Windows Boot Manager (which shows a single choice of Windows 8). When I choose it, it says that it failed to start.
File: \Windows\system32\config\system
Status: 0xc000025
Info: The operating system couldn't be loaded because the system registry file is missing or contains errors.
How can I get it to work as before?
I've tried using a custom.cfg as suggested in the manual
menuentry "Windows 8"{
set root="(hd0,1)"
chainloader +1
The entry showed up after running grub-mkconfig, except that it did the same thing as the original choice detected by os-prober (as in the one during the installation mentioned above).
By the way here's my partition layout:
/dev/sda1 Windows System Reserved
/dev/sda2 Windows
/dev/sda3 Arch
I also tried to set root to (hd0,2), but it gave a similar error:
File: \Boot\BCD
Status: 0xc000000f
Info: The Boot Configuration Data for your PC is missing or contains error.
I believe this is because I've tried to work with EasyBCD/BCDedit before.

Finally solved it!
It was more of a Windows problem than an Arch one. I used Live Ubuntu's GParted and noticed that my Windows partition (/dev/sda2) was marked by an exclamation point. I right-clicked to Information and this was the message:
ntfs_decompress_mapping_pairs: Input/output error NTFS is inconsistent. Please run chkdsk /f on Windows then reboot it TWICE!
I was starting to download a Windows 8 ISO, but thankfully I found out that you could create a recovery drive from an existing Windows 8 installation (I had another computer).
Failed attempts:
There was no reinstall option for me (looking back at it, that's a good thing), so I went for the Fix Startup Problems options. I ran it thrice and I stopped because it finally said that it couldn't fix it.
I had no System Restore Points either.
I wanted to see if the Continue to Windows 8 option would magically be able to boot it, but after the screen froze for 2-3 minutes, I rebooted and went for the Command Prompt.
More failed attempts with the Command Prompt:
I was able to find this http://social.technet.microsoft.com/For … proinstall
The instructions were:
Type Bootrec /RebuildBcd, and then press ENTER.
If the Bootrec.exe tool runs successfully, it presents you with an installation path of a Windows directory. To add the entry to the BCD store, type Yes. A confirmation message appears that indicates the entry was added successfully.
If the Bootrec.exe tool cannot locate any missing Windows installations, you must remove the BCD store, and then you must re-create it. To do this, type the following commands in the order in which they are presented. Press ENTER after each command.
Bcdedit /export C:\BCD_Backup
ren c:\boot\bcd bcd.old
Bootrec /rebuildbcd
Restart the computer.
So I tried, but it failed anyway. Then I began to notice. The current directory was X: (I was booting from the USB), and by some chance I managed to figure out that there were also C an D.
I searched for the command to display the disks:
http://www.computerhope.com/issues/ch000854.htm
wmic logicaldisk get name
What I wanted was E. (This is what will be C normally, with the Program Files and all). I also had F, which I will guess will be the free space remaining which I put aside for swap (it couldn't be accessed in the Prompt with dir f:).
I tried the above solution with E instead of C, but it failed.
What finally worked:
chkdsk /f e:
And now it boots when I choose it in Grub. Sometimes the Windows Boot Manager pops up, but whether it does so or not, Windows 8 loads properly.

Boot camp does not detect windows anymore

hello
i have an iMac, osx Lion, i was using boot camp for windows xp, the cmd button did not work for some time and since i had to access some info on osx and was fed up with pushing over and over again the cmd on start, i went to windows control panel and changed the default opt on startup on osx.
after that the only option remained was osx lion, nothing shows windows partition anymore except the space on disk that is used but cannot be accessed. I would really need to access that, i have lots of stuff there i also use windows on mac for playing a game which sadly does not work on osx (League of legends). I tried using cmd+r, nothing happened. I am very sad and dissapointed, please someone help me.
with best regards,
me

you still have not clarified if you used BCDedit or repair the MBR
Whether you used an NTFS driver - that may be all you need - try the full functional demo Paragon NTFS for OS X, it is great at mounting PC NTFS volumes and cases.
http://www.paragon-software.com/home/ntfs-mac/
There is no such thing as "boot camp" to detect Windows. Poor language. BCA partitions. Do you want to remove XP partition? that is the tool.
Boot Camp control panel in Windows that has a Startup Disk style feature.
But "boot camp" means zilch other than installing a set of drivers and the creatiion of a partition.
Of course Lion Recvovery only works with OS X, not XP. There is a hidden feature to show all partitions and their health but nothing more.
Backup everything and rebuild and restore.

Thanks Visruth. I managed to get the Windows 8.1 up and running without the the recovery partition.
On another topic, on the previous Windows 8.1 system. (before I deleted and reinstalled it, I downloaded recovery to a usb flash drive. THe RECOVERYflash drive contains 3 foldes named boot, efi and sources and also two files in the root diectory of the RECOVERYusb flash drive named bootmgr and bootmgr.efi. How would I use these files and folders, (for future reference)?

GRUB not booting windows?

Hi, I installed Arch a few days ago, and despite me being a pretty big linux newb I'm loving the distro. I've only gotten very minor problems with it, but this is really the only one I need to fix soon.
When I boot and GRUB asks me which OS to boot up, it detects both arch and windows, but when I try to boot windows it displays...
booting 'Windows'
# (2) windows
title Windows
rootnoverify (hd0,0)
makeactive
chainloader +1
On the screen. My windows partition is on sda1, so (hd0,0) is the correct path, but it just gets stuck on that screen and after outputting the code from /boot/grub/menu.lst file it just stops doing anything.
Help?

I'm having exactly the same problem. This is the second time I've installed Arch, and the other time I had the same problem as well. My Grub entry looks just like the ones above:

As the OP said, grub just prints this entry on the screen and sits there. No real error message.
Someone sugested that maybe Windows is picky about having another bootloader in the MBR. Maybe, but I also had grub on the MBR on my Debian instalation and I still could boot Windows there. I have Linux and Windows installed on diferent drives, Windows being in a single-partition SATA drive.
Any ideas?
Windows can only boot directly from the 1st hdd.
As you have rootnoverify (hd1,0) it seems you have the windows drive as SECOND hdd in your system.
Fortunately grub has a map command that can be used to switch the order of drives
Try putting the lines below in your menu.lst (the 2 map commands make windows believe the drive it's installed on is the first hdd.)
# (3) Windows
title Microsoft Windows XP Professional
rootnoverify (hd1,0)
map (hd0) (hd1)

Bootcamp does not detect windows 7

I am trying to create a partition for which I have inserted windows 7 original dvd and trying to go further. After waiting for some time I cicked next to go further bu drive ejects orginal program DVD and does not get detected. I tried other media that do also does not get detected. Give me solution if any one has encountered this situation

Could be your dvd drive is faulty. When you are in os x can you read the windows dvd.

Reinstall Windows on raid array

Hello all,
I have 2 arrays running a 0+1 which windows in installed on and a raid 1 which my games are installed on.
I originally built the array after windows was installed so I didnt have this issue....
I want to reinstall windows on the same array and to do so would be boot from the cd like normal and F6 and install the raid drivers and windows should then see the arrays. Pick my array to install to and away I go...
Second question I assume running my games/programs from a 0+1 array would work better than the raid 1?
Tell me if I'm missing something. TIA
K9N platinum sli

Tiresmoke, I think you missed the part where he said RAID0_1 and RAID1. He has two arrays, the first is RAID0_1 which mirrors stripe sets (see here: http://www.acnc.com/04_01_0_1.html), and the other is RAID1 which is simply a mirror.
That being said, I'm about to try the same thing. I just bought 3 additional WD Raptor 74GB 10K SATA drives and am doing some basic IOMeter performance testing now before creating a 0+1 set. Wanted to quantify the performance gain, I'll post it in a new thread when I'm done.
As for your first question, yes, you'd want the latest nVidia RAID drivers on floppy to inject into the install with the F6 key.
For the second question, the performance of a stripe set is superior to that of a mirror set, and a mirrored stripe set beats them both.
Let me explain:
Normal access (non-RAID) would write to one disk. When reading, it would read from one disk.
On a stripe set (RAID0), you write to multiple disks (doubling, tripling or quadrupling your write performance depending on how many disks 2, 3, or 4), and the same with reads. But you gain performance, but no redundancy, and in fact increase your risk of failure (any drive dies and you effectively lose all of them).
On a mirror set (RAID1), you write to two disks simultaneously (no performance gain, but failure protection), but you can read from both disks simutaneously thereby doubling your read performance!
On mirrored stripe sets (RAID0_1) you gain the performance gain of the stripe, with the added redundancy of the mirror. You get 2-factor read performance improvement along with redundancy. If it were possible to add more disks to it, you could realize even better read performance, but alas you can't use the two Silicon ports in the nVidia RAID set.
That make sense?

[Solved] Grub not showing windows partition

Hey all,
So I tried setting up my Win7/Arch dual boot system yesterday and I think I got the partitions right (correct me if I made any mistakes), but GRUB was not showing my main windows partition. I went into the menu.lst file and uncommented what I thought was my windows partition, but turned out to be my Samsung recovery partition. After a reboot, Grub now won't even load and automatically reboots the computer on failing. I'm sure that once I can figure out how to get back into that config file from my installer CD, I will be able to re-comment that windows entry, but I still am unsure how to get it to recognize my main windows partition.
Here are the partitions:
Name Flags Part Type FS type [Label] Size
sda1 (Boot) Primary ntfs [RECOVERY] 16GB
sda2 Primary ntfs [SYSTEM] 104MB
sda3 Primary ntfs 372GB (main windows7 partition)
sda5 Logical ext2 [root] 15GB
sda6 Logical swap [swap] 4GB
sda7 (Boot) Logical ext2 [boot] 100 MB
sda8 Logical ext3 92GB (home Linux partition)
Thanks for your help

Okay so first I tried recommenting all of the windows boot information with no luck. Then I changed the windows line to "rootnoverify (hd0,1)," also with no luck. Grub still tries to load but crashes and reboots the system before presenting me with any options.
Here are the options, if this helps at all.

Audio is not detected / Windows 8

First I was having trouble to open the program.
It was happening the following error:
"Adobe Premiere Pro Startup Error
Adobe Premiere Pro could not find any capable video play modules.
Please update your video display drivers and start again."
I solved the issue changing the settings in the Switchable Graphics.
However, the program is not working properly. When I import a video, it doesn't come with audio.
I tested the same video in another laptop, in which the Windows is not the 8, and the audio worked well.
What should be the problem?! What can I do to solve it?!
Thank you very much,
Aline.

Application Requirement Not Detecting Windows 8.1

Hi all - Wondering is anyone else is seeing this behavior. If I deploy an application that has no OS requirement set it will show up fine on a Windows 8.1 machine. If I add an OS requirement for all Windows 8 (All Windows RT, All Windows 8 (64-bit)
& All Windows 8 (32-bit))) the machine does not show the application as available. Below is an excerpt from the AppIntentEval.log before and after the Windows 8 OS requirement is selected. It appears that SCCM is not picking up the Windows
8 OS requirement properly. Am I missing something? Enviroment is ConfigMgr 2012 SP1, client version is 5.00.7804.1202.
With no OS requirement selected.

I may have found my issue. Looking at

AirPort - Not detecting Windows XP

I´m trying to acess my air port (using AirPort Utility) and Windows XP is not founding my airport ????
Im trying to rescan my airport !
Some point that I tried:
1.Acess my Air port using a cable;
2.My firewall is turned off;
3.I reistalled my Airport utility 3 times.
Somebody could help me ?
DELL Windows XP

I do not have a PC here running XP to test, but if I did I would do the following:
1) Turn off the Windows Firewall in the Control Panel
2) Temporarily disable the anti-virus software
3) Perform a Factory Default Reset on the AirPort Express
4) Connect the Express using Ethernet, open AirPort Utility to see if it will connect to the Express
5) If still no luck, in AirPort Utility, click on the File menu in the upper left corner of the screen and select Configure Other. Enter 10.0.1.1 for the IP address and "public" (without the quotes) as the password
If still no luck, the HP is likely running some other applications that may be interfering with the connection. I assume that the AirPort Express is not defective and the Ethernet port on the PC is operational.

975X Platinum PUE, 7.2 bios not detecting my SATA2 RAID?

Just bought this mobo 3 days ago and had everything working great with XP and all, until I decided to update the BIOS to 7.2 (no specific reason, just wanting the latest!).
Now XP wont boot :(
It goes through post and all, but it doesnt show the SATA RAID settings (ctrl-i) screen anymore. It seems it only detects the harddrives if I put them as IDE drives in BIOS. If I choose RAID as I had before the flash, it wont detect them.
It goes through all the bootchoices until resorting to a network boot.
Should I try flash it back to 7.1?
Pardon my english

OK, after sending a troubleshooting report to MSI (very quick response by the way....minutes actually), they stated that they were having no problems with there tests systems that were running RAID 0 and the 7.2, or any other bios for that matter. They also sent me a 7.33 bios Of course, I flashed the bios and was greeted with the same problem. But, that got me to thinking. So, it tried disabling the Jmicron Controler and it F'N worked!!
In a Nut Shell, These are the BIOS setting I tried and the results:
Jmciron: IDE = No bootable Intel RAID for you.
Jmicron: RAID = No bootable Intel RAID for you.
Jmicron: DISABLED = A very bootable Intel RAID for you!
I guess trial and error is always good. Again, MSI was very fast to reply. I guess I can email this 7.33 if anyone else wants it. I don't have anywhere to post it.

RAID arrays and Windows

Not sure where to post this one. You have been very helpful before so I’ll try again.
The machine is the Media Centre in my signature.
Installed two new Maxtor SATA drives, set up as RAID 0, clean install of XP MCE. Boots on the RAID array. Not a single problem. Installed MSI drivers, XFS video card drivers and KCorp PCI network adaptor for wireless link. Download and install all Windows updates. All OK.
On a later start up it spends long time trying to detect RAID array, then RAID error. Automatically reboots and detects a healthy raid array. Tries to open Windows but screen goes almost black but faint Windows loading page with the short activity bar showing no activity. If left it eventually springs to life. Tried starting in safe mode, no problem. Restore to an earlier restore point, no better.
The RAID problem is intermittent. The Windows problem looks as if it stalls for a variable length of time before it gets going.
Don’t know where to go next. Any suggestions?

fafner: I wanted a large disk to hold recorded TV progs, videos, CDs etc and 160GB is the max for this mainboard. I went for 2x160GB Maxtor drives. As I was using two drives I reasoned I might as well use RAID 0 to get a single volume and a faster machine. In particular I read somewhere that RAID 0 halved, or nearly so, the start up time. Who wants to wait a couple of minutes for the TV to fire up?
Fredrik: The XFX video card drivers are in fact nVidia drivers which are the latest.
Doctor Stu: I have subsequently installed XP on both drives individually. On one it worked well, on the other same old problem: either the drive not found in the BIOS after the heading ‘Detect IDE drives’ or the screen fades as Windows starts up. Checked both drives with Maxtor’s Powermax disk checking utility. Provided the drive was connected to the SATA1 socket and the other drive not connected both passed the Full Test. I could not get Powermax to recognise SATA2 even though both were detected correctly in the BIOS. My conclusion is that the problem was a dodgy connection which I hope has been rectified with all the swapping around.
Is there disk testing utility that puts the disc under load similar to Mem86 for memory?
Will I try RAID again? I doubt it even though it did start up in far less time.
My thanks to all.
