Help: How do i set up Raid 0 on a 970a-g46 board

Hello everyone
I have been Building my own computers since 1997.  (Remember Windows 3.11 and Dos 6.22  LOL)
but i have never tried to use Raid. i just got 2 SanDisk 128GB SSD drives,
i have read other things on this forum "970A-G46 raid issues"
But everything i have tried has not worked.
when i try to start the computer and hit Ctrl-F.  it shows the hard drives.  but i can't do anything.
I just  don't understand what i am doing.  I really would like someone to tell me step by step how to setup a raid 0.
I have a 970A-G46,
AMD FX 8350 eight core processor
MSI R9 280 gaming 3g

Glad you were able to do it...I remember my first RAID 0 experiences...It's really funny when I recall the paranoia from folks who'd never done it themselves...like, for instance, the old wives' tail that states that with RAID 0 your odds of drive failure are multiplied  100% by the number of drives you have in the array...  "If you lose one drive, you lose it all," etc., which seems to make sense until you consider the fact that if you have just one drive running in SCSI/IDE mode--and it fails--you also "lose it all"...  Then there's the "But RAID 0 isn't fault tolerant" myth, which is true but still a myth because normal SCSI/IDE is also not fault tolerant...!  The fact is that if you have 2 standard IDE/SCSI drives running compared with 2 drives running in RAID 0, there's no difference at all in the odds of a single drive failing at any time...  The drives don't care whether you run them in RAID 0 or IDE, of course, etc.  Drives always fail individually--almost never in pairs, of course--and so the odds of a RAID 0 drive failing are exactly the same as they'd be if you weren't running RAID 0 at all.
Anyway, I've included RAID 0 in every build I've done personally since 2004, and the interesting fact is (although mere coincidence) that on those rare occasions when a drive has failed it has not been one of my RAID 0 drives...!...  Enjoy!

  • Help How Do i set up VPN

    Hello everyone I need help setting up a VPN I own my own a post production company and we just purchased final cut server about a year ago. And we're starting to get really busy so I need some editors to access the server from home. How do I set up a VPN client at work to access from home. Can anybody point me to the right direction. How do I get this to work. I have try searching but no success. We're running a Mac Pro with Snow Leopard not Snow Leopard Server. Final Cut Server is installed on it.
    Thanks for your help

    The most direct way is to configure VPN access with your Internet router, assuming it has a built-in VPN feature. What are you using for a router? If your router doesn't have VPN, another option (albeit less secure) is to set up port forwarding or NAT.
    That's the networking side of things. What do you want your editors to be able to do from home with FCSvr? The extremely limited bandwidth will obviously significantly limit what is practical when using FCSvr via a typical residential broadband connection.

  • HELP: How do I set up an external hard through Wireless Network?

    I just bought a Western Digital Hard Drive and I'm trying to set it up via my home wireless network, so multiple computers can send files to the hard drive. Can anyone help?
    I see there was one thread earlier this month, but there wasn't a final answer to the question. I have tried allowing file sharing via Preferences and then going to the other computer's Finder>Go>Connect to Network. I enter the afp and it doesn't work.
    Can someone help? Thanks.

    Yes, until/unless she makes a New User, YOU, on her Computer, that's all you'll see for Security purposes... unless you logged onto Her Computer with Her Username & Her Password, then you'd see everything She does... and visa versa.
    But Sharepoints will give better control.
    Launch Sharepoints, click the Normal Shares Tab if it isn't already.
    On the bottom gove this "Share" a name, click the Browse button and selt your new HD.
    Click the AFS sharing ytthing and select "+", click Create New Share.
    Click on the Users... Tab, fill in, click add new user.
    Click back on the Normal Tab, highlight the Share's name, click on the "Show File Properties" button.
    Select Her username and give the rights you wish.

    Glad you got it figured out. The site has been messed up off and on lately, and that's probably why you didn't get more help. It's been so slow it's been practically impossible to use. Hopefully everything will be fixed eventually.

  • Need Help: How to configure/set-up custom interchange code values in B2B

    Hello All,
    Hope everybody is doing well.
    We are currently facing a problem in implementing Inbound 850 Purchase Orders in B2B from one of our Trading Partners (Customer).
    The Customer will be sending us EDI ANSI X12 ver 4010 Purchase Order files, but in the file they are sending a custom GS08 (8th element of GS Segment having Version/Release/Industry Identifier Code) value i.e. "004010RIFMAT".
    The above value is not present in the Standard Code values when we define an ECS using B2B Document Editor.
    Hence the document is failing in B2B since it is not able to identify the Trading Partner.
    If anyone has faced similar issues, I would appreciate if you could let me know on how to configure the same in B2B. Please let me know the steps in detail.
    Thanks In Advance.
    Regards,
    Dibya

    Hello Dibya,
    Can you create a new group ecs with appropriate codelist for GS08 and use it while modelling B2B flow. Make sure to undeploy and validate the agreement.
    Rgds,Ramesh.

  • Set up raid on A78M-E45

    How do I set up RAID on A78M-E45 with AMD A4-4020 Richland processor. I can't find anything in the manual or online here.
    Thanks.

    Re: Setting up RAID with A78M-45
    I had the same question and after much searching this is what I did.
    - Download the RAID driver from the MSI web site
    - Set the BIOS to "RAID"
    - Boot from the Windows Install disk. In my case this was 8.1 x64 and at the Disk & Partition screen the Installation reported it was needing a driver.
    - Browse to the location with the downloaded RAID driver, and the Windows installation continued
    - Once Windows was installed I downloaded and installed the "Chipset drivers" for the motherboard. This required a re-boot
    - After the reboot on my desktop there was a new icon "AMD RAIDXpert 2". Open the utility and login (admin admin).
    - From here you can configure RAID on your remaining drives. I downloaded the .pdf the AMD RAIDXpert 2 utility as it looks like I need to read a bit before configuring my drives. 
    Hope this is helpful to anyone else needing to do the same thing.

  • HT4436 how do I set up an icloud account on my macbook pro with 10.6.8 - all it has is mobile me under internet and wireless????

    help, how do I set up an icloud account on my macbook pro with 10.6.8 — all it has is "mobile me" under internet and wireless on my system doc????

    You should check that your Mac meets the requirements for upgrading.
    The requirements for Lion are:
    Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
    2GB of memory
    OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
    7GB of available space
    To purchase it you will have to ring Apple at the number given at the bottom left of this page.
    The requirements for Mountain Lion are listed here:
    http://www.apple.com/osx/specs/
    It is available from the Mac App Store (in Applications).
    You should be aware that PPC programs (such as AppleWorks) will not run on Lion or above; and some other applications may not be compatible - there is a useful compatibility checklist at http://roaringapps.com/apps:table

    I'm not sure exactly what you mean by "I-Mail". However, there is no way to set up an autoresponder on an iPad. You'll need to do it through the server. For example, I have Gmail. I can log into Gmail on my computer using my browser and set up an autoreponse in settings.

    If yes, what is the best way to do this and which type of connection (USB, Firewire, etc) is best to use?

    Close ... before going for a specific Cisco app ... lets find out some details:
    Host we need more details:
    What is your server environment (Windows Server, or Mac OS X Server, or Linux)?
    What security is implemented in your environment - as what is restricted (RDP for all or specifc credentials on all machines? Are you part of local admin group to the server you wish to connect)?
    Does your environment Support CISCO IPSec connection? If so use Settings> VPN and IPSec tab to enter VPN details, if not then go with above suggestion. IF your restricted to RSA then either built in VPN settings or 3rd party app for RSA would suffice.
    Finally, there are many RDP applications out there I use "Mocha RDP Light" (free minimal ads when launched not when connecting).

    Tabs only open in a new window. Ctl T opens a new window NOT a new tab help-last update this problem started 2 days ago. How do I set FF back to open tabs in 1 window?
    There is no plus sign and going into optins and changing settings has not worked. I have uninstall FF and reinstall-keeping my personalization-and that was no help.
    Right clicking on FF Icon to open a new tab, or going up to FF drop down tab and clicking on new tab both do not work.
    Help everything opens a new window not a new tab. there seems to be no way to reset this or to chose a different optin. I just downloaded new tabs at end addon and it didn't do a thing.

    as a first troubleshooting step - does it work like normally when you open & run firefox in [[Safe Mode|safemode]] by pressing the shift key while you open firefox (all other instances have to be closed before)...

    It's not completely obvious. What you have to do in Spaces is to position your cursor to the upper right of the screen, after which faint + (plus) sign appears in that area. Click that, upon which another Desktop will appear.
    The + may be difficult or impossible to see with some desktop backgrounds (black, for instance):
