Setting SATA mode to RAID

Hi
I have just bought a 945p-Neo. Within the bios I cannot set the SATA mode to be RAID. The function is disabled. What am I missing? The Multilingual manual with the board makes no mention of this whatsoever.
Best regards
Rob

No I don't think so. MSI build the same box for many similar boards. BUT, http://www.msi.com.tw/program/products/mainboard/mbd/pro_mbd_detail.php?UID=672
see it doesn't have RAID.

Equium P200D how to enable SATA mode to AHCI so i can install OSx86

Hi im trying to install OSx86 on my new Equium P200D-139 laptop that i bought this week.
I need to set SATA mode to AHCI. All other pc's i have used i have been able to do this in the bios but with this laptop the bios is so cut down the option isnt there.
Does anyone know how to enable AHCI mode so i can get OSx86 to boot.
Thanks
Mark

If I'm not mistaken, you get the famous "Still waiting for root device" message, right?
Well, I really do not have many experience in Mac operating systems, but this appears because of SATA drives and yes, you are right, AHCI mode works for most notebooks or desktop PCs.
I think there is no way to enable this option. But maybe you can find help looking for some instructions on osx86project in google.

How to set HHD to sata mode?

hihi...
may i know how to set my sata HHD into sata mode? i heard from my friend tat the motherboard will use IDE mode by default(even we r using sata HHD)..
got to do with ACHI? sorry i forget the spelling.

If you don't know what it is, then best leave it at IDE mode.
Is not only faster but also works with any Operating System you want to run on it.
IDE mode = Native SATA mode.
AHCI = Advanced Host Controller Interface SATA mode = but is mostly slower unless you use SSD-drives.
RAID = Redundant Arrays of Independent Disks
For normal usage of 1 harddiskdrive and max speed, IDE is the best setting.
thanks, may i know wat is ssd-drive?
n no wonder, after i reinstall win vista using AHCI mode i notice my sys is very slow..
does it mean tat if im not doing backup or imaging den i can use IDE mode..
it there any info for read up? thanks

Cannot start after change sata mode

Hi
I have a probook 4510s i try to install win Xp instead of opensuse. Before installing XP, i change a SATA mode from AHCI to IDE. XP was installed ok but when i try to switch back from IDE to AHCI, my laptoop freeze and got black screen. Now when i start a laptop, nothing happens only a HDD led indicator blink. Can enybody help me?? thanks
Sorry for bad english

Hi:
You have to install the SATA ACHI drivers for the notebook which is why that happened. Switch it back to IDE mode for now and then follow the procedures below to get it to work in ACHI mode:
Download and install the chipset driver first:
http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareDescription.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&prodTypeId=32...
Download the Matrix Storage Manager:
http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareDescription.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&prodTypeId=32...
I could only find two of the files the manual said to copy to a flash drive. So, you can download this utility from Intel which will automatically create a floppy disk with the required files and follow the instructions on Page 12-19 of the below link:
http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?agr=Y&ProdId=2800&DwnldID=18860&lang=eng
Read this manual and follow the procedures on pages 12 - 19
http://bizsupport2.austin.hp.com/bc/docs/support/SupportManual/c01600726/c01600726.pdf
After you do this you should be able to change your BIOS setting back to ACHI.

Sonnet tempo sata e4p and raid 5

Hi
I just bought a tempo fusion 500p and a tempo sata e4p and i thought i was going to be able to configure them as raid 5.... Inside the fusion i have 5 500gb disks and i was hoping that there would be software with the e4p card since it said it was raid 5 compatible. how can i get it to work as raid 5? do i have to buy software or another hardware card? i've spent too much time looking around the forum here and it got me even more confused since most replies here mention that if you get a hardware controller it should be possible....
what are my options? help would be greatly appreciated...
a confused and a little dissapointed editor....

Yes, you are correct. There will be software that will allow you to set up the hardware on the card since the card actually controls the RAID system.
I would suggest reading up on RAID theory before you take the plunge. RAID 5 will give you redundancy but no performance increase, RAID 0 will give you Performance but no redundancy, then you have RAID 0+1, 3, 50, 6, 60, and so on. Make sure you know what you want before you get to deep into this.
Look at the bottome of my post and you can see what I'm using. I have that box set up with a RAID 0 on two drives for performance while editing and then I have one drive that is for backups.
Just another thought.

How to set Compatibility Mode for a single site in ie10

This question was originally posted on the Answers forum -
http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/ie/forum/ie10-windows_7/how-to-set-compatibility-mode-for-a-single-site-in/187152e3-142a-4d96-8d1b-af82ef571eec
I am having problem with getting ie10 to set ie9 compatibility for a single site (sharepoint.contoso.com).
When I add this website in Compatibility View Settings (Alt > Tools > Compatibility View Settings > 'Add this Website') it adds the domain 'contoso.com' and not the individual website (sharepoint.contoso.com).
This cause other sites (www.contoso.com) to be configured to use compatibility mode. Because this is a separate site (different web server) to the site sharepoint.contoso.com (sharepoint 2010 server) we need different compatibility settings.
Using a different example to explain the issue -
Microsoft has three websites that are different websites created by different developers written in different programming languages and they only work with certain browsers.
microsoft.com (Website1 created by Developer1) - compatible with ie8/ie9/ie10
msdn.microsoft.com (Website2 created by Developer2) - compatible with ie8/ie9
technet.microsoft.com (Website3 website created by Developer3) - compatible only with ie10
The only thing the three website share is the URL contains 'microsoft.com'.
Marking 'msdn.microsoft.com' to run in compatibility mode affects the other 2 websites - mainly technet.microsoft.com which will not work now since it only runs in pure ie10 mode.
Should you be able to add an individual site to the compatibility list instead of all sites that have .microsoft.com in the URL? Am I missing a simple setting in the ie10?
As a workaround I am using the F12 Developer Tools to set the Browser Mode which temporary sets the compatibility mode. However this is not a nice solution to the end users at our organisation.

I have some questions regarding setting up a software RAID 0 on a Mac Pro

I have some questions regarding setting up a software RAID 0 on a Mac pro (early 2009).
These questions might seem stupid to many of you, but, as my last, in fact my one and only, computer before the Mac Pro was a IICX/4/80 running System 7.5, I am a complete novice regarding this particular matter.
A few days ago I installed a WD3000HLFS VelociRaptor 300GB in bay 1, and moved the original 640GB HD to bay 2. I now have 2 bootable internal drives, and currently I am using the VR300 as my startup disk. Instead of cloning from the original drive, I have reinstalled the Mac OS, and all my applications & software onto the VR300. Everything is backed up onto a WD SE II 2TB external drive, using Time Machine. The original 640GB has an eDrive partition, which was created some time ago using TechTool Pro 5.
The system will be used primarily for photo editing, digital imaging, and to produce colour prints up to A2 size. Some of the image files, from scanned imports of film negatives & transparencies, will be 40MB or larger. Next year I hope to buy a high resolution full frame digital SLR, which will also generate large files.
Currently I am using Apple's bundled iPhoto, Aperture 2, Photoshop Elements 8, Silverfast Ai, ColorMunki Photo, EZcolor and other applications/software. I will also be using Photoshop CS5, when it becomes available, and I will probably change over to Lightroom 3, which is currently in Beta, because I have had problems with Aperture, which, until recent upgrades (HD, RAM & graphics card) to my system, would not even load images for print. All I had was a blank preview page, and a constant, frozen "loading" message - the symbol underneath remained static, instead of revolving!
It is now possible to print images from within Aperture 2, but I am not happy with the colour fidelity, whereas it is possible to produce excellent, natural colour prints using its "minnow" sibling, iPhoto!
My intention is to buy another 3 VR300s to form a 4 drive Raid 0 array for optimum performance, and to store the original 640GB drive as an emergency bootable back-up. I would have ordered the additional VR300s already, but for the fact that there appears to have been a run on them, and currently they are out of stock at all, but the more expensive, UK resellers.
I should be most grateful to receive advice regarding the following questions:
QUESTION 1:
I have had a look at the RAID setting up facility in Disk Utility and it states: "To create a RAID set, drag disks or partitions into the list below".
If I install another 3 VR300s, can I drag all 4 of them into the "list below" box, without any risk of losing everything I have already installed on the existing VR300?
Or would I have to reinstall the OS, applications and software again?
I mention this, because one of the applications, Personal accountz, has a label on its CD wallet stating that the Licence Key can only be used once, and I have already used it when I installed it on the existing VR300.
QUESTION 2:
I understand that the failure of just one drive will result in all the data in a Raid 0 array being lost.
Does this mean that I would not be able to boot up from the 4 drive array in that scenario?
Even so, it would be worth the risk to gain the optimum performance provide by Raid 0 over the other RAID setup options, and, in addition to the SE II, I will probably back up all my image files onto a portable drive as an additional precaution.
QUESTION 3:
Is it possible to create an eDrive partition, using TechTool Pro 5, on the VR300 in bay !?
Or would this not be of any use anyway, in the event of a single drive failure?
QUESTION 4:
Would there be a significant increase in performance using a 4 x VR300 drive RAID 0 array, compared to only 2 or 3 drives?
QUESTION 5:
If I used a 3 x VR300 RAID 0 array, and installed either a cloned VR300 or the original 640GB HD in bay 4, and I left the Startup Disk in System Preferences unlocked, would the system boot up automatically from the 4th. drive in the event of a single drive failure in the 3 drive RAID 0 array which had been selected for startup?
Apologies if these seem stupid questions, but I am trying to determine the best option without foregoing optimum performance.

Well said.
Steps to set up RAID
Setting up a RAID array in Mac OS X is part of the installation process. This procedure assumes that you have already installed Mac OS 10.1 and the hard drive subsystem (two hard drives and a PCI controller card, for example) that RAID will be implemented on. Follow these steps:
1. Open Disk Utility (/Applications/Utilities).
2. When the disks appear in the pane on the left, select the disks you wish to be in the array and drag them to the disk panel.
3. Choose Stripe or Mirror from the RAID Scheme pop-up menu.
4. Name the RAID set.
5. Choose a volume format. The size of the array will be automatically determined based on what you selected.
6. Click Create.
Recovering from a hard drive failure on a mirrored array
1. Open Disk Utility in (/Applications/Utilities).
2. Click the RAID tab. If an issue has occurred, a dialog box will appear that describes it.
3. If an issue with the disk is indicated, click Rebuild.
4. If Rebuild does not work, shut down the computer and replace the damaged hard disk.
5. Repeat steps 1 and 2.
6. Drag the icon of the new disk on top of that of the removed disk.
7. Click Rebuild.

Drive A + B = VOLUME ONE
Drive C + D = VOLUME TWO
What you put on those volumes is of course up to you and easy to do.
A system really only needs to be backed up "as needed" like before you add or update or install anything.
/Users can be backed up hourly, daily, weekly schedule
Media files as needed.
Things that hurt performance:
Page outs
Spotlight - disable this for boot drive and 'scratch'
SCRATCH: Temporary space; erased between projects and steps.

Disk drives are the slowest component, so tackling that has always made sense. Easy way to make a difference. More RAM only if it will be of value and used. Same with more/faster processors, or graphic card.

How to set change mode as default for workbench objects

Hi experts
I've always wondered if there is a configuration option in NW BW 7 where it can be set whether double clicking a workbench object will show the maintenance screen for that object in change or display mode (default is display). Because is annoying to have to set edit mode every time one double click a workbench object in the development system, and as it is a development system, it would make sense to have edit mode by default instead of display
I was thinking that it may be related to the client role, but who knows...
I appreciate your help
regards

Not sure where this can be set...if anywhere.
But how about this for a workaround: Right click the object in RSA1 and the select Change instead of Display.
That would save you a click if I counted correctly

How to set Compatibility mode of an EXE file???

Hi,
I'm in a bit of a pickle, got a problem with an EXE which we need to set to "Windows 2000 Compatibility Mode" using a script.
I need to update an existing .exe file on several hundred computers, and was planning on using Group Policy to run a VBscript on login to change the properties on that .exe file so that its in 2000 compatibility mode.
Can anyone help me knock up a quick vbsript to do this please. I've spent some time looking, but no articles on setting the compatibilty attribute of exe files.

Hi, you can set compatibility mode via the registry for all users under:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\AppCompatFlags\Layers
Create a REG_SZ value under this key with a name of the path to your exe, for example "C:\Apps\Myprog.exe" and then the value will be "WIN2000".
You can script this by running regedit.exe to apply an exported .reg file, or to run reg.exe to create the values by running something like:
REG.EXE ADD HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\AppCompatFlags\Layers /v "C:\Apps\Myprog.exe" /t REG_SZ /d "WIN2000" /f
or you could use StdRegProv, see here.
Hope this helps,
Rob

Looking for some ideas for setting up and xServe RAID

Everyone,
Here is what I would to do. I have a new xServe and 7TB RAID. I would like to set all of my end users up with Portable Home Directories. They all have laptops and I would like to use their PHD as my backup source. I would set them to sync in the background a couple of times per day and then write to tape at night.I have about 60 end users. I would also like to use the same xServe and RAID as my Kerio mail server and mail store. What I am looking for is some ideas of how to go about setting up the RAID. I was orginially thinking of setting up as one big RAID 5 using all 14 drives. What I would like to know is what is the number of drives that would need to fail that would render the RAID unrebuildable? I am now thinking about splitting the RAID into two 7 drives in RAID set up as RAID 1+0.
I am not sure if I phrased a lot of this currently, but here is quick recap of what I would like to know. What would be the best way to set up a 7TB RAID to store PHD and my Kerio mail store that provides me the most redudant and fastest acccess.
Thanks in advance.
Sincerely,
Daniel Krajc

Daniel,
I'd suggest a 6 disk RAID 5 plus a hot spare for each side. It will give you about 2.4 TB capacity per side (4.8 total), and it can tolerate 2 drive failures per side without losing data, provided there is sufficient time between failures for the RAID set to automatically rebuild on the hot spare. This window is 8-12 hours.
Note with Xserve RAID the two sides are totally independent in the data path -- it will look like 2 separate LUNs. If you want to combine these at the host level, as RAID 0 or RAID 1 to look like a single volume, you can. But the Xserve RAID will not combine them itself... the RAID controllers are independent... it might as well be two separate RAID volumes in the same chassis.
I assume you'll plug this into an Xserve that is serving as an Open Directory server and a file server?

How to set to-mode to Fixed Value and give a date in RSDV transaction

Hi
I am working in BI7.0 environment. I am deploying HR Reporting Project. I need to load data to HR Info Cube 0PAPA_C02, to do this I need to maintain validity slice (RSDV transaction) for the Info Cube. After first load I need to set "to-mode-'Fixed Value'" and give a date such as 31.12.9999.
Can anyone please let me know the steps on how to set- to mode to Fixed Value in RSDV.
Thanks

Here's the basic steps to follow:
1) Go to tcode RSDV, enter the InfoCube name (0PAPA_C02) and Execute.
2) If there is data already in the InfoCube you will get a validity table with default validty dates from 0CALDAY.
3) Click on the Display/Change button so that you're in change mode and edit the validity date to be 31.12.9999.
4) In the To-Mode column, set the value to 'F' for fixed.
5) Put the fixed date value (31.12.9999 in your example) in Fixed to time.
6) Click on Save.

DML Error logging table in Set base mode

Hi all,
In ETL data errors can be handled thru error logging table. Like this example given in the document-
INSERT /*+ APPEND PARALLEL */
INTO sales SELECT product_id, customer_id, TRUNC(sales_date), 3,
promotion_id, quantity, amount
FROM sales_activity_direct
LOG ERRORS INTO sales_activity_errors('load_20040802')
REJECT LIMIT UNLIMITED
In this example bulk loading is possible even in the presence of errors. The data errors will go in table 'Sales_activity_errors'.
I want to generate this kind of coding in OWB in set base mode. For that i have to create a error logging table in target schema. How can I reference this table in a mapping? can it be done by shadow table? It's a very important feature in ETL for bulk loading. Is it available in OWB in set based mode?
Guyzz please check this out and help me..
Regards,
Sumanta

Hi,
I am not sure if the DML error logging method is avaliable to be used in OWB 10g R2. You can use the data rule method. Create the data rules on the target table. Deploy it from OWB. Create your mappings and then execute them. Two insert statements will be generated. One for loading the target table for loading records where no rules are violated. The other for loading the <target table>_ERR for loading records where one or more error rules are violated.
Both these statements do a bulk loading. So your purpose will be solved.
Again you can use the splitter method that has already been mentioned.

Any way to set "active mode" for FTP, or to use sFTP instead?

I have a web host that does not support passive FTP mode. I need to either set the mode to be "active mode", or I need to use secure FTP (sFTP). Is there any support for either of these within Muse?

Hi
By default , Adobe Muse FTP option uses " Passive Mode" , I am afraid its not possible to switch to "Active Mode" or to switch to Secure FTP. Alternatively, you may export the site locally using " Export as HTML " and then you may use third party FTP client to upload the site to your third party hosting using Active or Secure FTP.
Let me know if you have any further query.
