Problems Trying To Set Up Raid 0 On SATA (Plat SLI)

I booted up for the first time and tried to install the drivers for RAID as I installed Windows. After installing the drivers, Windows wanted me to pick one of the drives, and I figured I should have set up the RAID using the RAID setup on the motherboard. I restarted to try and do this and it just tells me 'error loading operating system' every time. It will let me install Windows if I want to, but I want to set up my two drives in RAID 0 first - is this trouble 'cos Windows plonked some data on the drives?
Pressing F4 or Ctrl + S is supposed to invoke the RAID setup utility but it doesn't work (I don't get a screen like the manual says I should for five seconds either). Whilst installing Windows, F3 for 'exit' didn't work, whilst Esc for 'cancel' did...
I've tried the reset CMOS button which didn't do anything useful either.
Edit; just noticed 'T' and backspace doesn't work either. Could/must be a big fat keyboard issue.

Sorry was on vacation last week. Here is what you want to check. In your Bios, (I think under Integrated Peripherals, but not 100% on that) There is an option for enaling or disabling the Silicon Raid controller, I recommend disabling it, especially if you want to use SATA II. There is also an nVidiaRAID Config section, make sure that it is enabled and that the correct items are enabled underneath it. The ones I have are:
RAID ENABLE Enabled
IDE Primary Master RAID Disabled
IDE Primary Slave RAID Disabled
IDE Secondary Master RAID Disabled
IDE Secondary Slave RAID Disabled
SATA1 RAID Enabled
SATA2 RAID Enabled
SATA3 RAID Enabled
SATA4 RAID Enabled
Under the IDE Function setup make sure SATA1/SATA2 and SATA3/SATA4 are ENABLED
as mentioned before:
Onboard SiI3132 RAID Disabled
Onboard SiI3132 Mode RAID (I have this set to raid although with the controller disabled I doubt it makes a difference)
now after you get the Raid setup to launch and configure the array, go back into bios and make sure the boot sequence shows the raid array at the top of the list, if you only have the 2 drives it should already be there.
after all of that, go back and install windows using the f6 to load BOTH drivers from thre floppy marked Nvidia Raid Drivers

Trying to set up RAID on GNBMAX-FISR

Am building machine - P4 2.8Ghz, 2x512Mb Corsair CMX-512-2700C2 RAM, CD and CD/DVD.
Trying to set up RAID using the Promise built in RAID controller with EIDE drives. According to the manual, you attach a single drive to the RAID connector (IDE3) and I assume the other drive to one of the other two IDE connectors, boot machine and do the CTRL+F to enter the RAID setup. It only see's the one drive, never the second one. I tried to install from scratch, using the "F6" option in the XP install to install RAID drivers, but didn't work. I am going to try installing XP on both drives individually, then conect to the RAID and see if it was just a driver install issue. Anyone out there set up a RAID n this board? The only other RAID I set up was on a PCI card RAID controller.
Thanks in advance!
?(

Thanks for the reply. So if I am understanding you correctly, I HAVE to use the SATA connector(s) regardless of if I use the IDE3 for one of the drives? Or like you say, just get the adaptors for both drives and run them on the SATA to get my RAID 1 array set up?
I have 2 WD800BB 80GB drives I want to set up for redundancy.

3: Delete LD Menu
4: Controller Configuration
press 2 to enter LD menu
now press Ctrl+C
now chose the raid mode you want to use (raid 0,1,10 or 5)

Problem trying to set up new PlayBook

I have just purchased a 16G PlayBook. I am unable to complete the initial set up. I have chosen my language - English, country - Canada, updated time & date, connected to my WiFi, then the Agreement. There is no drop down country list, it just says none selected by country, when I use the arrow there is a blank box under it, can not touch & bring up keyboard. It tries to display the agreement but because I can not choose my country I get the following response:
Unable to display the BlackBerry ID Agreement. Please select your country and language, then try again. I have gone back to the start & reselected my country there, but still have the same problem. I am not sure if I should be returning this to the store to exchange it.

Try the workaround suggested in this link:

SATA set to raid

I have some problem with my new k8t neo with SATA. It detects the disc but it says that the disk is set to raid
what SATA port shall i use?
any jumpers?
or bios?

first u should have connected the SATA hdd to one of the controllers using the orange cable ... if so .. which one .. and make sure that controller is enabled in the bios then boot the pc at the point u see via controller hit "tab" and set up an array or "control & f" keys i think for the promise .. when the pc reboots press f11 .. with the xp cd in ur drive tell it to boot that and when u get the first blue screen hit the f6 key several times (install 3rd party raid drivers) .. win will ask u to insert the floppy for the controller ur using .. only other thing is to set the raid as ur boot device in the bios if not already done
hope that helps and is the info u wanted ... if not ask more we here to help one another

Trying to set up Airport Express with Ethernet Powerline adapters

Hello,
Having some problems trying to set up my Airport Express with Netgear ethernet powerline adapters.
I want to set up as follows:
Wireless Belkin router --- powerline <---> powerline --- airport express --- home stereo system
The problem I have is that I can connect the airport x in client mode & wirelessly play music using airtunes (until the sound breaks up) but itunes does not find the airport x when connected via the powerlines.
I have airport admin utility configured as follows:
Airport tab:
Wireless mode: create a wireless network
Wireless network name: same as my wireless router SSID
Allow this network to be extended: unticked
radio mode: 802.11n (802.11b/g compatible)
Channel: automatic
Wireless Security: WPA/WPA2 personal (as per my router)
Wireless Password: as per my router
Verify Password: as per my router
Internet tab:
Connect using: ethernet
Connection sharing: off (bridge mode)
Music tab:
Enable Air Tunes ticket
no password set
In iTunes, I have home sharing on & share entire library selected with no password set.
Using OS 10.6.5 & Airport Express 7.5.2
I can ping the IP address of the airport express when connected via the powerlines but cannot select the speakers in iTunes (they are greyed out).
Any assistance would be appreciated....
Thanks

Hi,
Thanks for the quick response...
As suggested, I connected up the Airport X to the Belkin and plugged in a pair of headphones. It didn't work, still could not select the Airport X as speakers.
Dug out my old Netgear DG834G and connected that up in place of the Belkin - it worked. Next connected in the Netgear powerlines and it still worked.
So, the problem is the relatively new Belkin F7D4401 router.
Looks like I will have to find an alternative 802.11n...
Thanks for your help.
Regards
Simon

I'm trying to set up my Ipod, but when I go to sign in with an apple ID it says 'Could not sign in: there was a problem connecting to the server'.

I just bought a 3rd generation ipod touch. It was professionally refurbished. I'm trying to set it up, and everything seems to be working fine, until we get to the wifi. I live on campus and our wifi is username and password protected. I signed in and everything seemed to work fine, and in the top left hand corner I have all the bars for wifi. However, when I go to sign in with an apple ID it says 'Could no sign in: there was a problem connecting to the server'. I've tried turning it on and off again, tried signing on to our wifi again, but it all isn't working. What can I do?

I also encountered the same problem. Try using a different email address or try signing in later.

Home sharing problem: I have never set up home sharing but I feel I the concept and how it works. I recently (last 2 months or so) deauthorized, first time ever, all computers with my iTunes account. I have 3 computers authorized. I am trying to set up home sharing but get iTunes says:
"Home Sharing could not be activated because this computer is not authorized for the Apple Id "#########@###.com". Would you like to authorize now?" I click "authorize" and get the next error " You cannont authorize more than 5 computers. You have already authorized 5 computers with this Apple ID. To authorize this computer you must first deauthorize one of the other computers."
Can someone help or shed more light on my problem?
Thanks,
Richard

Home Sharing is designed to work on your local network not across the internet/cloud.
Stuff is accessed under the Computers column where your local iTunes library on a local computer would appear.
Home Sharing would share your iTunes content (i.e. stuff stored in itunes on the computer, not in the cloud) with AppleTV or an iPad etc on the SAME network.
AppleTV2 will not be able to see itunes content on the work computer over the internet. It's not designed to. if the work computer was on the home network it would.
iCloud is in it's infancy and is not a mature product - iTunes TV Show purchases appear on AppleTV, but currently music does not unless you are subscribed to iTunes Match. I find this rather odd to be honest, along with the inability to buy music on AppleTV2. Movies purchased in iTunes are not authorised for iCloud viewing currently either.
Maybe it has something to do with iTunes Match 'getting in the way' - i think they assume you'll use that whereas you really want to be able to access Purchased music from the cloud without subscribing to itunes Match which is overkill for some.

I am trying to set up a mail account but I get a warning that my password cannot be sent securely to the server. How do I correct this so that I can set up my email account?

1. If you haven't tried this already, just delete the user account entirely, and then try setting it up again.
2. To find the permissions file:
     a. hold down the option key
     b. go to the Go menu in the finder
     c. scroll down to Library and open it
     d. in Library, go to Containers/com.apple.mail/Data/Library/Preferences
     e. drag it to the trash and restart.
3. if that doesn't work, go to Applications/Utilities/Keychain Access. In the Keychain Access menu, do Keychain First Aid, and repair.
This should keep you busy for a while.

When trying to set up my time machine I get this message: Airport Utility was unable to find any airport wireless devices. I am connected to the internet. What's the problem?

I'm trying to set up my time capsule. I'm having trouble. Please help

Hi Angela,
Had (and having) the same issue from Windows 7 on my TimeCapsule (TC) ..... Not sure how to fix it but I have a workaround:
1) Make sure you are getting your internet connectivity from the TC instead of your ISP's modem (turn off wifi on the ISP's modem)
2) go to windows menu and type CMD on the search box, that should get you a black screen. Type IPCONFIG and note the numbers on the Gateway (mine is 192.168.1.1)
3) Open Airport utility and go to File > Configure other
4) Type the Gateway from step 2 and your TC password (if you didn't change it, it should be the serial number f your TC, found on the bottom sticker)
5) you should be able to see yout TC settings.
Hope it helps. I had a big headache when setting TC on my Windows laptop.... (but none on my Macbook) :-) Good luck!
