Help to go from AHCI (1 SSD) to RAID (2 SSD)

Hi guys
I'm having trouble to create a RAID volume AND install Windows 8.1 on it.
I can easily create the RAID volumen, yes, but I don't know how to install the OS. I do not have installation DVD's from MSI or ISO, only the hidden recovery partition and I don't know how to make an iso DVD or DVDs from it.
Without it I can't boot my pc because obviously there is no data in the RAID volumen and it needs an OS, but F3 recovery key won't work when starting from the RAID volumen.
How can I make it a Win iso or what other way around can I use?
Thanks!

Oyo,
What is the model you got and Windows was in stall on HDD or you got with one SSD and Windows was on this SSD ?
MSI provide on his NB sell with Windows a hidden partition can be use to recovery on the same disk and a software call MSI Burn recovery for create DVD/USB key for make recovery later.
If you get Windows on one SSD and know you create a RAID, then too late, you lose everything, make a RAID lose date on all disk use for make the RAID.
If you got a NB with Windows on a HDD and you add 2 SDD, then remove all SSD from the NB and start on your HDD, then under Windows use Burn Recovery for make DVD/USB and after that, shutdown, remove HDD, add SSD, check if RAID ok and boot on the DVD/USB for install Windows.

Another strange RAID 0 SSD query with Asus P9X79 Pro - RAID array appearing in AHCI mode

Hi all, I found this thread:
http://forums.adobe.com/message/4874435
very helpful, as it describes a similar situation to my case (same motherboard). Here is my situation:
historically, this was my setup (all on Asus P9X79 Pro motherboard):
2 x 120Gb Intel 320 SSDs. Operating system on one of them, Lightroom catalogue and photoshop scratch disk on the other.
1 x 2TB WD SATA 3 HDD. All images and other data etc
1 x blu-ray DVD burner
As I am now needing video editing, I have just bought Premiere Pro. My OS SSD was also getting quite full. So, I took the plunge and bought a Samsung 830series 256GB SSD.
My plan was this:
(a) make the Samsung the new OS drive, so lots of spare space for the SSD to play with (plugged into one of the 6 GB/s ports)
(b) make a RAID 0 of the two Intel SSDs (i.e. 240GB volume) to act as Lightroom catalogue, PS scratch disk and Premiere Pro media cache, previews etc etc. This would be on 2 of the 3GB/s ports
(c) keep the 2TB WD HDD for data. (plugged into the other 6 GB/s port)
(d) plug the Blu-Ray drive into another of the 3 GB/s ports
However, I was having a nightmare reinstalling the OS from scratch, so I ended up using Norton Ghost to port the OS across from the Intel SSD to the Samsung SSD. I didn't have a lot of faith that it would work, but it did.... eventually. I have checked SSD alignment and it is correct, and I benchmarked the Samsung and it is flying - it is running to reported values according to AS Benchmark. So, I think that one is working fine - great stuff.
However, this left me with the two Intel 120GB SSDs to try to make into a RAID 0. Apart from the fact that my OS was already installed (and so no F6 driver install), I followed the instructions/suggestions of frogo369 in the forum thread I linked to above. I changed the SATA mode to RAID in the UEFI and then defined the RAID in the CTRL+I Intel RST option ROM utility. I then rebooted the PC.... oh dear.....
The PC started and got as far as the swirling Welcome to Windows sign (i.e. before log on appears), but then came the Blue Screen Of Death - and it gets into a never-ending reboot cycle. :-(
So, I figured that this was because I had changed my SATA mode in the UEFI from AHCI to RAID, but the OS was obviously from a time when I was only on AHCI. Therefore, I changed the SATA mode back to AHCI in UEFI. thankfully, the computer now boots successfully once more into Windows.
BUT, HERE'S THE BIT I DON'T UNDERSTAND..........
Weirdly (for me at least!), when I look at the list of disks in Disk Management, I could see the RAID. It was "unallocated", so I formatted it. It formatted fine. I then opened the Intel SSD toolbox, and it can see the RAID 0 (it even defines it as such). The only thing it won't let me do is really "interact" with it as it says I need Intel RST drivers of 11.0 or newer. But I don't think they are available for the X79 chipset - so no TRIM I think?? I've just benchmarked the RAID and it is doing good numbers - >500Mb/s read and 400Mb/s write if I remember correctly.
But anyway, my question really is two-fold:
(a)Firstly - how can I see this RAID/how is it working, if my BIOS is set to AHCI mode not RAID??
(b)am I likely to see a rapid detioration in the speed of the RAID, given that presumably TRIM won't be working on it?
Sorry for such a long explanation - and no doubt I've missed out huge bits of info you need anyway! But, any help, advice or direction would be very, very, gratefully received!
Tim

OK, an update to my post - I have now found Intel RST drivers for the X79 chipset - they are here, for the benefit of anyone in the future coming across this page:
http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?agr=Y&DwnldID=21852&keyword=%22Intel+Rapi d+Storage+Technology%22&lang=eng
These have enabled me communicate with the RAID 0 array via the Intel SSD Toolbox. I have also confirmed that TRIM is activated on it.
However, this still hasn't answered my original question - i.e. how can I be using these two SSDs in RAID mode if RAID is not enabled in the UEFI? Don't get me wrong - I'm delighted(!!) - but any expertise as to how this is happening would be much appreciated!

Need help in migration from Layer2 to layer3

HI Guys
Need u r help in migration from layer2 switched network to layer3.
here is the setup there are 9 sites connected with a 10gig backbone in a ring.each site has a 6513 but at the data centre site we having two 6513.we are having a combination of voice and data vlans.at present all the sites are connected with layer2 trunks.all the trunks are teminated at the core ie datacentre site.so how should i procedd and what are the advantages of it ie migration.
Thanks
Mahmood

For this migration you first need to assign IP addresses to your connections between switches. This could be /30 (or /31, if supported) subnets. You should also consider running some dynamic routing protocol such as OSPF between switches.
Hope this helps.

MSI GE40 adding HD and switching from AHCI IDE causes windows 8 to fail

Hello,
I removed my DVD from my ge40 laptop and added a caddy with a 1tb serial ata III hd 7200 rpm.
Not happy, I went in the bios and changed the sata from AHCI to IDE.
This caused windows to not being able to boot twice, and from that point it always go into automatic repair and then it fails (Automatic repair couldn't repair your pc).
I, of course, switched back to AHCI but it seems that it's too late.
I tried everything I could, from dos commands line actions, to refresh/restore, to safe mode, nothing works and it always go into automatic repair, failing.
F3 key does not do anything on boot.
I don't have windows repair dvd since it's a oem version.
What can I do?

Quote from: riccardoit on 07-December-13, 10:35:01
Yes I did but no luck :(
I'll be honest, I haven't dealt with this issue.
The best thing *I* can suggest, is to contact MSI and RMA it to get them to reinstall the default software. Then the first thing I would do is make the backup/restore DVD's.

TS1389 I need help removing UAC from itunes..

I need help removing UAC from itunes so it will not allow me to open itunes. Everything I have read from other comments that you shouldn't turn off your user account control. I just to be able to open itunes. Can anyone help me with this problem?? Greg, ogrady612@yahoo,com

I had this problem too but you do not need UAC to be turned on.
Click on start and search for 'uac' in the search box at the bottom and click on 'Change User Account Control Settings' when it comes up. Move the slider to the bottom when the window appears and save the changes and your done!
It's worked for me and my uac has been off for months without causing me any problems!

Need help coping project from one computer to another.

I need help coping project from one computer to another. I loaded all video on computer 1, copied events and project folder to computer 2. I was told I only needed to copy the project folder back to computer 1 since the events folder is already there. I copied project folder back to computer 1 but the files wont open. I dont have computer 2 available.
Please help!!!

Hi
No that's not the way to do it - iMovie gets confused and in some cases the problems might be un-repairable.
You've got several problems
• iMovie'08 - CAN NOT MOVE PROJCTS - You NEED iMovie'09 or iMovie'11 - I see no other working solution
• Never MOVE or alter any folder named
iMovie Projects - or -
iMovie Events
on DeskTop/Finder - This might be very harmful
• Moving (Projects) and Events - HAS TO be done within the iMovie Application.
You've got an Evets window and here You can view Your Events in two ways - Yearly - or - Yearly per Hard disk
Here You can move within this "window" to another location
• Projects - NO they do not contain Your full movie - only a document on howto use the material in Event folder
and there might be worse if You added Photos from iPhoto and Audio from iTunes/Garageband - then You have
to get this over to the second Mac too, to be able to continue editing.
So to move Your projects to another Mac You need
• iMovie'09 or 11
• an external hard disk -
MUST BE Mac OS Extended formatted - as UNIX/DOS/FAT32/Mac OS Exchange will not work for VIDEO
Should be a FireWire one - as UBS/UBS2 performs badly when used for video
• Then move/copy over within Project resp Events window in iMovie Application
Hopefully I've been not to confusing or badly structured to be followed.
Yours Bengt W

Opening help html documents from 10g form

We are converting our 6i forms to 10g. I am trying to open my help html documents from the 10g forms. We have modified the httpd.conf file setting the DocumentRoot "/oracle/apps/aces/help". This is the path where my html documents reside. From the 10g forms I am using web.show_document to open the html documents. I am getting a Page not Found error. Is there somewhere else the help path needs to be set?
Thanks!!
Shellie Bricker

The way i know is, putting some AliasMatch in the conf-file of Apache like
AliasMatch ^/help/(..*) "C:\help/$1"And then use WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT with this virtual path
WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT('//help/helpfile.html', '_blank');

Can anyone help transfer songs from itouch to itunes?

Can anyone help transfer songs from itouch to itunes?
Stupidly I deleted all my music from my laptops music folder: I was doing a spring clean and wrongly thought that all the music was duplicated stored in itunes itself.
Anyway I have all my music on my ipod touch I need now to reverse sync this music back to my itunes.
I know that the solution is to transfer from my itouch>my laptop>my itunes library.
The problem I have is that my computer is not recognising my itouch; it is however showing up in the itunes programme, but not under my computer.
Does anyone know how I should proceed.

Try uninstalling iTunes from your computer, then re-installing it. Then once loaded back on (it still won't have your songs), click on the iTunes Store and log in. Then plug in your iPod, then right-click it on the bar on the left side of the screen, then click "Transfer Purchases". It then should sync all of your songs, movies, TV shows, and Apps to your computer.
Hope this helps.

I need help removing CS3 from Windows 7 so I can reinstall

I need help removing CS3 from Windows 7 so I can reinstall

Before trying to remove try re-installing CS3 right on top of the current install. Often re-installing Photoshop on top of itself fixes the install. If it does be sure to apply the cs3 updates.
