Raid errors solved

Which is more likely, that two drives in a 4 disk raid 5 configuration fail simultaneously or that the ICH10R controller is the issue instead?
When I ran the raid 5 array, everything ran much slower than it does now that the disks are not connected. Ive had one drive which at first lit up as rebuilding, then as failed a few days later, then failed to respond at all..
I unplugged power to the drives and pc runs exceptionally fast now the raid array is not online... but to test what drive was failing I plugged power back in again a week later when I had time... and all drives lit up green and working
I got the new drivers from intel, and started to rebuild the disks - it went VERY slow.. was looking at 40 hours to rebuid the volume. Except that after about 5 hours the pc BSOD.
On examining the logs, either one or two disks regularly fail and cause the pc to BSOD. I cant tell which disks are failing.
With all the other issues Ive had with this board, I am wondering if it is more likely that my board is at fault here rather than the disks. I think its unlikely to have two disks fail simultaneously like this... (assuming the logs read correctly and its not one disk...) and whatever the cause, how do I find what disk is failing?
I will also note that I have had a continuous yet intermittent problem with my Blueray drive (sata2 on the ich10r controller as well) 'disappearing' or turning off or being unresponsive or not being recognised on the controller at times. Usually it means if I want to use the drive I have to open the machine and disconnect the cable, reconnect the cable and the restart the machine for it to start recognising the drive again. I figure this may indicate a controller issue too....
My specs are all down in my signature.

Hi,
Throw your motherboard away is my advice. I've been experienceing exactly the same problem, and MSI support have been totally useless. It *is* definitely your motherboard. I've swapped disks (from Samsung to WD and Seagate), swapped power leads and SATA leads, and it is mainly happenning on port 0, and a few times on port 2, and yesterday it happenned for the first time on port4. The only common fixture is the motherboard.
As far as I can tell, there is an inherent problem with the CIH10 controller, or the motherboard connectors. I first thought it was the hard drives, but after having 3 out of 4 drives "fail" in just 6 weeks, I started thinking it was not the drives. I have 3 x mirror sets. I started off with trying RAID5, but it took so long to format the 4 drives I gave up.. I've updated the Intel drivers and the motherboard BIOS, but this has only made things WORSE. I have a disk constantly being "disconnected", the whole PC hangs for one or two minutes, then I get a string of errors about degraded RAID sets. I'm sick of it. MSI support have no idea what the problem is, but suggest I return my motherboard for a swap out. Like I'm going to do that on my main computer? and wait 6 weeks for them to send me a motherboard with the same fault in it? Quite frankly, I'm ditching MSI completely as their UK support team have not called me back after several days.
On a separate note, RAID5 can be as fast as RAID0, but only if you have a fast enough RAID controller that can process the data coming off the disks. The RAID controller has to disassemble (write) or reassemble (read) the data and parity data blocks. Typically on a home PC you will get about 3/4 of the speed of RAID0 from a RAID5 array. On a commercial server, RAID5 and RAID0 will be about the same.

ITunes Causing Vista BSOD with RAID Errors

This thread is here to collate as much information and posts on the problem regarding BSODs occuring in Windows Vista and causing RAID errors to occur.
What Happens: Start iTunes and start performing a hard drive intensive task (Importing, converting etc). iTunes will seem to 'freeze', in some cases up to five minutes, but will regardless cause Windows Vista to BSOD. On restart the RAID array will complain of errors. Most cases are that restarting again and clearing the error will be fine, though there are some reports that people have had to rebuild their array.
Common Elements: Windows Vista, iTunes, Intel RAID Chipsets (ICH6R, ICH7R and ICH8R chipsets reported so far.

Custom Intel based Generic PC Windows XP Pro 750GB NAS Storage, DVDRW DL, 5th Gen 80GB iPod, 2nd Gen 8GB Nano (Both Black)
I'm running a dual boot with WinXP Pro SP2 as the primary OS, Vista RC1 on separate partition. I had Vista Ultimate (RC1) Release Candidate 1, a pre-release version of Vista up and running with iTunes version 7.1.1. Updating My Library, when system crashed and trashed my array.
I was running 2 400GB WD's when my RAID 1 erred. The array corrupted and after limping through several array rebuilds and Windows repairs, Win XP finally died and was unrecoverable.
I originally suspected an issue with Vista & iTunes, especially since I was running a pre-release version of Vista then I remembered reading a recent WD Support issue about some newer WD SATA Gen 2 drives failing in RAID arrays.
To make a long story short, thank God for my back-up NAS Drives, I lost my array. Traced the problem to a Raid compatibility issue with the WD drives running in full SATA ATA Gen 2 transfer rate mode and the Intel ICHR8 SATA RAID Controller. They don't play nice together when stressed with large file transfers. Replaced WD's with two Seagate 750's in RAID 1, running full SATA Gen 2 mode and have had no problems since.
Check out WD's Support forums, if you have newer WD's I'll bet it's a SATA RAID / Drive issue more than iTunes and Vista.

"Could not find RAID" error in Disk Utility

Hello,
I could really use some help as this problem is causing me lots of headaches. I have two 500GB MyBook hard-drives connected to my MacBook Pro via two USB's. I had them setup as a mirrored RAID, and they were working properly for quite sometime. However over the past few weeks I noticed they were always in a degraded state, and Disk Utility would always rebuild them. However after the rebuild they would still have the status of "Degraded" and the next time Disk Utility opened it would start the rebuilding process yet again.
So I moved all the data on the drives to a backup, and I stopped the mirrored RAID. After erasing the data on the drives individually I attempted to setup the mirror again. However after the mirror had just about finished, and it was to the point of "bringing the RAID online" I always get an error that states "Creating RAID set failed", "Creating RAID set failed with the error: Could not find RAID.".
I'm hoping someone smarter than myself in this area can lend me some time and assistance to solving this issue.
Thanks,
Paul

Well. No one really came to my rescue with this question. Turned out to be a Finder issue. After reinstalling the operating system everything started working again with Disk Utility.
Later,
Paul

Outlook Sync Error SOLVED - Multi-day repeating appointment cannot be converted for use on the Handheld...

*UPDATE 1/23/2009 07:08 AM* This is a partial fix. I no longer think the Recurrence Range is the culprit. It seems the Time Zones features between Outlook & Palm are not cooperating. This explains why my 12 am events are syncing as 6 pm the day before; I live in GMT-6:00 so it's moving my events ahead by 6 hours. Another event I set for 1 pm in Outlook was changed to 7 am on my Treo. I am going to start over and recreate each event, this time setting the Time Zones, which I hadn't done before. I tested it out and it worked with a single event... let's see how long it lasts. I've also found that using 'No Time' on my Treo is not compatible with Outlook. It's better to set a time with 0 minutes duration.
*UPDATE 1/23/2009 04:11 AM* This is a partial fix. My monthly and yearly problematic recurring events are now showing up at 6 pm the day before on my Treo, though my Outlook calendar is fine. I think this has to do with the Recurrence Range Start/End in Outlook, which is set automatically. If only there were a way to change this...
After a WHOLE LOTTA trial-and-error (like 3 days worth), I think I finally solved my OLERR:14-001 issue!
Problem: Syncing Palm Treo 755p calendar with Outlook 2007
Error Message (simplified):
HotSync session completed with messages on [date] [time]
HotSync session started on [date] [time], and completed in [0] seconds
Outlook Calendar synchronization completed with messages
Duration: [0] seconds
Outlook Calendar
The multi-day repeating appointment titled [event] beginning [date] [time] cannot be converted for use on the Handheld. Please divide the appointment up into single-days and re-synchronize.
OLERR:14-0001
- Desktop overwrite HH Sync
Note: You will likely have several of these ‘Multi-day’ instances in your hotsync log (I had 58). You may want to change Calendar in hotsync to "Desktop overwrites Handheld" after you get this error, to avoid erasing events while you are fixing this issue. Otherwise, you may have to restore them from a backup copy (if you have one) and start over. You can switch back once you’re through.
Solution: First, I tried this Palm KB Article: http://kb.palm.com/SRVS/NUA/launchKB.asp?c=31167. After this didn’t work for me… I did trial-and-error. I believe the problem is that each recurring event, which you set up as ‘All-day’, must be changed to have a duration of 0 minutes from within Outlook. I was able to change some events directly, but I found that some of the records had corrupted, and would just revert. My fool-proof solution was to recreate EVERY problematic event (yes, one-by-one) using the following steps:
Open Outlook
Go to your default calendar, where your events are synced
In the top menu choose ‘View’ > ‘Current View’ > ‘Recurring Appointments’
Open a ‘New Appointment’
Enter subject and other options, such as Categorize, Importance, Time Zones, or Reminder
Make sure starting and ending date & time are the EXACT same
Select ‘Recurrence’ & choose your pattern
I did not choose ‘No end date’ (hence the Palm article), but rather ‘End by:’ and typed in 2031, then pressed tab to auto-generate a suitable end date. I chose 2031 because that is last year my Treo’s calendar goes to. Click OK
Repeat for every event in your error log, until you get a clean "Desktop overwrites Handheld" hotsync (Outlook should be closed when you sync)
Switch Calendar in hotsync back to "Synchronize"
Even though I still get the message OLERR14:001, my syncs are successful. Now I will give my Treo time to see if the issue returns later. Until then, happy Outlook syncing and good luck!

DVD burn error - SOLVED!

I recently had errors when burning DVDs and noticed many people on this forum shared the exact same problem, but no solutions were posted. However, I've recently solved it, and decided to make a whole new thread so that it is easier for people to find.
First of all, the error is this: Since owning my laptop I've done 1 or 2 successful DVD burns, but then suddenly it wouldn't do it anymore. It would begin but then fail, somtimes at around 42%, other times before it got to 1%. and this happened no matter what software was used. I tried Finder and Toast 8. The error codes output from Toast are as follows:
The drive reported an error:
Sense Key = HARDWARE ERROR
Sense Code = 0x03, 0x01
http://www.bilious.org/filez/forums/Apple/Drive%20Error%2001a.png
Followed by:
Sense Key = ILLEGAL REQUEST
Sense Code = 0x30, 0x05
CANNOT WRITE MEDIUM - INCOMPATIBLE FORMAT
http://www.bilious.org/filez/forums/Apple/Drive%20Error%2001b.png
(Thankyou to user: billious, for the images)
The error code you get from Finder is 0x80020022.
Now, the information about my system and my drive are as follows:
Apple MacBook (Intel Core Duo, 2Ghz) in white
MATSHITA DVD-R UJ-857:
Firmware Revision: HBE4
Interconnect: ATAPI
Burn Support: Yes (Apple Shipped/Supported)

Burn Underrun Protection DVD: Yes
Write Strategies: CD-TAO, CD-SAO, DVD-DAO
Media: No
Now, I know a lot of people here have said "Use highest quality DVDs, your cheap ones are bound to fail!" but in actual fact, it doesn't matter. People all across this forum have said that they've used the most expensive brand DVDs on the market, right down to the cheapest, and it's failed on all of them. Even the Apple brand ones. Here are a just a few that people have tried: TYG03 (Taiyo Yuden 1-12x DVD-R), TTH02 (TDK 1-16x DVD-R) and TDK003 (TDK 1-16x DVD+R). Taiyo Yuden are widely thought of as the highest quality on the market.
Also, I know people on this forum have said "Check the Mac is on a flat surface" and "Check the Mac is at a comfortable temperature". These may be factors, but it's very unlikely and are certainly not how I resolved the issue.
I took mine to my local Apple store and told them about the issue and they said they'd test it and if they found a fault, do whatever was needed. They tested and sure enough, it wouldn't burn so they decided to replace the DVD drive. I tried to tell them that loads of people on this forum said that doing that hadn't helped, but they weren't going to take our word for it, and so they replaced the drive. 2 days later I got a call to say they'd done it but it hadn't resolved the issue (fortunately they'd re-tested it and not just told me to come and collect it!) and so they decided to replace the motherboard. 2 days later they called to say the work was done and it was burning fine, and I can confirm that it now burns full DVDs successfully.
So there it is, a motherboard fault. I dont know why, perhaps a manufacturing error. Anyways, so if you're having this problem, go tell Apple to replace your motherboard (I believe you can send your laptop to them if there isn't a store near you).
Oh, and if you do this and it works (or if it doesn't) please post it here, as it will help keep this solution on the front page of the forum.

Hi Vai,
I'm quite pleased to read your post, I'll even forgive the linking to my error messages because the news is that good.
Any information whatsoever as to the actual repairs undertaken would be very much appreciated, as I am interested in twisting Apple Australia's arm over this issue - my DVD drive may as well not be there. Any information from the service receipt, or if your could contact the service staff for a specific description of the error and service method, I'd very much appreciate it.
Congrats on the repair, and now I've got five months to fight the machine that is Apple to see that my drive actually works.
Thanks.

"Cannot complete iTunes store request..." error solved

As posted elsewhere here, repeated clicking between "iPhone" and any other header such as "Music" or "Playlists" in the iTunes browser has solved this error message:
"Cannot complete iTunes store request - network connection was reset. Make sure your connection is active and try again."
After about 45 minutes I got the message: "Restoring iPhone from backup"
It is now sloowwly restoring my original iPhone (No usb 2.0 on the old PowerBook G4 400)
Hammered Apple servers = tried patience. Keep trying!

I don't know if this will help you guys, but it worked for me...
I've been having the exact same problem since upgrading to iTunes 9. Installed the recent update to 9.0.1.8 with no change--still no icons when the Store comes up, long vertical layout, 306 error when clicking on anything.
I'm on an older Windows box with XP installed, Safari 4.0.3, iTunes 9.0.1.8. I use Firefox for the web. Though it WAS installed, I had never used Safari on this machine. Went to take a look at Safari and see if there was anything wrong.
I found that Safari was NOT set up properly to get through my Firewall--again, I had never used it before. As soon as I got the internet settings right in Safari and made sure it could get to the web properly, I re-launched iTunes and lo and behold the Store worked properly. This was NOT a problem with iTunes 8. Apparently everything with Safari needs to be kosher before the iTunes 9 Store will work.
Maybe you all have done this already, but it immediately solved the problem for me. Hope this helps someone.

K8NGM2 Long boot with Nvidia RAID enabled *SOLVED*

Hi,
I just bought the K8NGM2 and first had the engineering bios... i upgraded to version 3.10 without any problems.
After I setup my RAID array The computer will boot, get past the RAID press f10 screen and get stuck at "Checking NVRAM" for about (timed) at 60 seconds!
That's a really long time! First couple of times I thought the computer had froze. After 60 seconds it will continue booting normally.
Is there any reason why enabling raid causes this to take so long to boot? I've had previous raid 0 setups and nothing took this long to boot.
Also, my HDD on this completely new computer is two Western Digital Caviar WD2500SD 250gb RE drives on SATA cables 1 and 2. The raid array is also
setup up correctly, striped for raid 0.
This is really frustrating because i really like this motherboard. Unfortunately I'm not sure what to do!

SOLVED
Sigh, computers really throw you for a loop sometimes!
I had my Plextor DVD-RW set as master on IDE 1, NO slave (no second drive)
I also had my Benq DVD-ROM set as master on IDE 2, NO slave (no second drive)
Both were on separate cables.
After disconnecting both i the computer booted normally even with RAID enabled.
I found out that setting two masters on two cables on the IDE controller would cause the computer to hang for at least 60 seconds.
SOLUTION:
Use The Plextor as Master, and the Benq as the Slave on ONE IDE cable.
POSSIBLE SOLUTION 2:
Set the Plextor and Benq as Cable Select if using separate cables.
Boots very quickly now. Hope this helps.

Acrobat Reader 9.5.1 'Internal Error' [solved]

Hello, everybody.
To come quickly to the point, here is the problem / issue (hopefully, in the most concise and useful formulation).
OS: openSUSE Linux 12.1 with kernel v. 3.1.10-1.9 and (just for the report - even if I don't think it matters) Qt libraries v. 4.7.4-19.6.1. I say I don't think it matters, because I've already experienced this very same issue with openSUSE 11.0 (kernel 2.6.25.5 and Qt 4.4.0, with Acrobat Reader 8.1.3).
Acrobat Reader v. 9.5.1 (the release included with the distro).
The issue: when I try to overwrite an existing PDF document (i.e.: save 'foo.pdf' OVER a pre-existing copy of 'foo.pdf') I systematically get caught into the sequence 'the document already exists. Do you want to overwrite it?' -> yes -> 'An internal error has occurred' -> the document can't be overwritten.
Attempts to fix: I've already tried - suspecting I had possibly missed something during the installation process - to change the permissions of the '.adobe' preferences folder under my /home directory by issuing the usual 'chown -R xxx:yyy .adobe' command: with no result.
Any idea about the possible causes and workarounds?
BTW, while I was trying to recover the exact information about the program's version in the 'Help -> about Adobe Reader' menu, I've stumbled into another issue (which looks very much like a bug): that is, the program freezes if I try to read the 'Credits' information by pushing the suitable button in the red 'Adobe Reader 9' banner. Possible causes and remedies (aside from upgrading to the most recent version)?
Thank you very much in advance

Reason: solved

I add this one to my previous message, which solves the issue (and closes the thread).
The issue has been solved (on another system, though: that is, Fedora 17) by installing the original Acrobat Reader 9.5.1 from Adobe. With "original" I mean: not the .rpm archive enclosed in the OS DVD, but the one which can be downloaded directly from Adobe.
The method: one has to open a terminal and simply do the following:
# rpm -Uvh http://linuxdownload.adobe.com/adobe-release/adobe-release-i386-1.0-1.noarch.rpm
[as root] # yum install AdobeReader_enu
The version of Acrobat Reader which is installed by this method is complete with all the GTK suitable libraries: and actually works with no hassle, allowing to overwrite previous versions of the same file.
Now, however, I have to find some equivalent procedure under openSUSE: because it's a fact that even the AdbeRdr9.5.1-1_i486linux_enu.rpm file one usually downloads from here installs a copy of Acrobat Reader which shows the aforementioned issue, despite all the necessary graphical libraries being already installed in the system. Now, since this one is probably the .rpm archive a user finds in the main .rpm-based Linux distros, I add that it might be interesting if some Adobe engineer would try to dig a little deeper into this issue...

Problems with java.lang.NoClassDefFound error *solved*

realising my stupidity I have solved the problem
I am quite new to java and I have been using the Java for Dummies book to help me to learn it. I decided to use the command line tools instead of an IDE and hadn't encountered any problems until recently. I took a break from learning Java after reaching the end of the book but have decided to come back to it. The problem now is that when I run my programs I get the following error:

This occurs from a simple hello world program:

}I have no idea what the problem is, although by looking at similar threads it would appear that it may be something to do with the classpath variables however I do not know much about this as I followed a tutorial on the internet to set the classpath up.

Intel RAID error in Device Manager after updating Intel Matrix Storage Console

The latest in my catalogue of problems arose after updating Intel Matrix Storage Console (IMSC) ...
Lost my RAID volume, but both drives were OK. However, IMSC seemed to be freezing, so I thought I'd install the latest version from Intel. Once installed, it gave me errors saying a plug in was not found, followed by messages saying that the SATA and RAID drivers were not installed. Device Manager thinks the drivers are OK, but the yellow triangle with the ! is shown against the Intel RAID driver. Tried un-installing and re-installing the controller, updating the drivers, different versions of IMSC and still get the yellow triangle with the !
I have been having trouble with the RAID0 set up for weeks so wonder if it has finally died? I'm out of ideas. Can anyone help?

Burning error -Solved..in an roundabout way

I have made a recording of my school musical using my new Sony EX1. This camera produces files that have to be imported via XDCAM Transfer to convert to .mov files that Quicktime can read. I copied the files to an external drive and dragged them into iMovie 6HD. No problem viewing in QT7. Put project together but after export to iDVD it failed with an error message that meant I had a 90% finished DVD but it did not finish. I tried all the normal suggestions in iDVD of changing the settings. In total frustration I copied the files from the .mov clips to another Mac running QT10. It would not recognise the clips saying I was missing some codec????? I then copied the iMovie project over and it took some time as it was 61gb. However I then shared it with iDVD and have burned perfect DVDs??????
Problem solved but I have no idea as to why???? Any suggestions would be great, but this might help others if they have a similar problem.

Hi,
Is there any application running when this problem occures, msvcrt.dll file belongs to Microsoft C Runtime Library. Actually most problem like yours does not caused by this file. In most cases, system or other application crashed caused by other process.
Firstly, you can try to download and reinstall C++ library for test. If no use,I would like to suggest you following another that had similar problem with yours, then, following Andre's reply to collect this application crash log, after that, upload the
log file to your sharing space and share with us.

I've individually deleted the partitions on them
I've then selected the 4 drives and created a striped raid set (mac os extended journaled
Untitled striped raid set icon appears on my desktop.
Any data I write to it stops after about 2gb. error -36
I've written 100gb of data to each of the drives individually - all fine.
I've tried using softraid - same issue.
Drive Genius says i/o on disk
Crucial say it's a problem with the Promise Pegasus.
Promise say I'm creating the RAID wrong.
"Current Response : No this is not right. you need to delete the partition then create the RAID and then create the partition and formatting.
but once the Untitled striped raid set icon appears on my desktop there's no way to then create the partion and format - the options aren't there in disk utility - and now their tech support have gone silent.
Advice appreciated

I encountered this error too, and it does indeed appear to be a weak power supply in the Pegasus J4. I am currently using the device with a sort of hackish work around...
SSDs use maximum current when writing; reading and idling draw far less power. So instead of defining one big RAID set, which causes all 4 drives to be writing nearly simultaneously on large transfers, I set the unit up as two independent RAID volumes, each comprised of two disks. This configuration works well for me since I do not do large writes to both volumes at the same time... this restriction may not be acceptable for everyone. As long as I don't write large amounts of data (over about 2 gigabytes) to both volumes at the same time, everything works reliably. This would tend to support the theory that the power supply just is not up to the task of keeping 4 M500s writing simultaneously for long periods of time...
Hope this helps someone (actually I really hope Promise improves the power supply - this unit is not exactly cheap and a wimpy power supply is pretty inexcusable).
BTW - does anyone know where you can download the Pegasus J4 FW updater software? I cannot find my original CD...
