VIA Raid 0: Red screen of Death - fatal error during boot sequence

I have been using two Maxtor 120GB SATA drives in a RAID 0 array on my Athlon 64 MSI MB. I have occasionally had messages saying "Hard disk error. Can't find drive 0". I've assumed that this has been a driver issue because if I power down, wait a while I can reboot and continue without issue (other than chkdsk running during boot up). However after the last such error, when I next tried to reboot I got an error message as the RAID was initialising. The error message was in a red box on a black screen and stated that there was a fatal error and that the raid relationship and all HHD would be destroyed if I continued. Naturally I switched off at this point, but on rebooting got exactly the same message. Eventually, as I have backups, I continued past this point and sure enough the RAID had gone. So I rebuilt the raid array and everything seems to be OK.
However, I'd forgotten that my MSI DVD burner was incapacitated due to a failed firmware update so had temporaril;y replace it with a DVD rom drive to get access to my backups. BUT the drive won't read all my backup discs, in particular it won't read the Drive C backups .
Has anyone else had this RAID erro. Is it a driver error or is it a dsik failing (even though they were new at Christmas).

Raids do not really help benchmarks unless you considure hard drive benchmarks. Most games and benchmark proggies load everything they need prior to running. So unless you have a low memory condition that forces the game or benchmark to use the swap file the only place that you would typically see any gain in speed is during the loading of the game or benchmark. That is hard to quantify other than through experience.
Where a raid shines is in file tranfer situations. When you create and save large files such as movies, Reading or copying large files, defragging, or any other massive file effort. Overall the gains can be very small compaired to the rest of what you do with your system. However that is not to belittle what a Raid does. It does give a finer sheen to the overall computers operations and will make sluggish file transfers seem much more bearable overall.

How do I fix the red screen of death issue?

iPad Air, 13 mo. old: working fine yesterday, plugged it in to charge (left it on) and about 8 hrs later I went to use it. When I opened the case, I had the red screen of death. No error messages, can't see any of the icons. just red screen. I finally got it to turn off using the home and off button. turning back on goes right to red screen. Attempted multiple times to restore using iTunes. Each time it gets stuck in "waiting for iPad to respond"? Anyone have a fix?

Hello konagirl64,
It may help to put your iPad into recovery mode prior to restoring.

Red screen of death

Ok, so basically today i had my iphone 5s in my friend's food bag, then i took it out and i noticed that my phone had restarted itself for no apparent reason. then it was fine, then later on in the day, i realised that my phone was hot and it was on the apple logo. i didn't know what to do as it just stayed there so i pressed the lock and home button, then i got the blue screen of death. obviously i was freaked out as my phone is only a month or so old. then i've kept trying to reboot it, and now i constantly get the red screen of death, then it will switch back to the apple logo, and this will keep on happening. i cant charge my phone without it turning on, and getting extremly hot. i have tried to restore my iphone through itunes, which i did the first time but this just went back to the apple logo and red screen of death. then i tried to do it a couple times again, then just won't work! i'm honestly really unhappy, and i want to go to the apple store... but if i'm not on insurance am i still able to go it? PLEASE HELP!

The iPhone includes a one year warranty.
Make an appointment at an Apple store if there is one nearby.

Cisco SG300 HOSTP_flash_operation: fatal error during read operation!

I have 2 Cisco SG300-52P switches. Earlier this week, one of them started dropping connections and POE was not working on a couple of devices... I came in this morning to restart them when no one else was around. After restarting them, the troublesome one was still not detecting POE devices.
I have been waiting for some down time to do a firmware update, so I thought this might straighten things out. I Downloaded the updated bootloader and firmware from Cisco's site. Updating the (non-problem) SG300 went exactly as it should. Upgrading the the bootloader on the problem SG300 went exactly as it should. Started the firmware update on the problem switch ....... and it didn't come back online. The power light was flashing, and occasionally the lights on ports would blink like they were trying to reset, but they never made it. There weren't really any special configurations on this switch so I had nothing to lose by trying a factory reset via the pinhole on the front ...... same result.
I connected to the serial port via a win7 PC with putty. .. All setting per Cisco. I got a message that the connection was detected, but it would not accept keyboard input. I power cycled the SG300 and watched the messages go by ... It looked like everything was working. I even got a message that the "Initialization task was completed"..
Then this message "HOSTP_flash_operation: fatal error during read operation!"
We have had a couple of internet and power outages recently, but I am trying to rule out other issues before blaming it on that.
any suggestions?
putty output file attached

I am not familiar with SG series products, but looking at the error message in the attached file, it appears there is an issue with reading from the flash. It could be that the flash file is corrupted and the flash needs to be formatted and then reload the software again.
If you have support contract on the product, I would suggest you open a TAC ticket with Cisco and have them help you.

Try first going through this article to remove iTunes and Quicktime completely (http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93698).
After you remove everything, don't re-install yet. Download the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301). After insalling that, remove any references of iTunes, Apple, or Quicktime in the list.
Try re-installing now.

W500 not starting - HELP - unable to locate BIOS ROM; Fatal error during GPU init

hi gurus,
Following problem:
when i start W500 (ubuntu) it stays with the black screen, not even displaying initial ThinkPad message, where you might press the ThinkVantage blue button, to go to BIOS. It just stays black and does nothing.
Than I press Power button for a few seconds to shut it down and try again. Still black screen.
The same procedure again and again and sometimes W500 boots up, sometimes wants to go to recovery mode, sometimes not.
Sometimes, after the black screen it displays the message:
Invalid ROM contents
ERROR Unable to locate BIOS ROM
Fatal error during GPU init
Anyone had the same problems?
What are the possible checks i might execute, to check up W500?
cheers

Update: I have now tried compiling vbios.bin and int10.bin directly into the kernel. No success.

Adobe Illustrator CS3: Fatal error during installation

Hello,
I just bought the AI CS3. It installed OK on my friend's laptop (windows). However, when I clicked the big button in the installation:
"Install Adobe Illustrator CS3"
A window showed:
Initializing Adobe Illustrator...
Then I got a message:
"Setup has encountered an error and cannot continue. Contact Adobe customer Support for assistance. Fatal error during installation".
I've tried several times. My computer meets all the requirements (it's a really new and faster PC). And there's no old versions of AI on it yet.
Can anyone help? Thanks!!!

Do you have any other Adobe products on your computer? When I installed CS3 on my Mac, I kept getting failures. After contacting Adobe, they told me I had to delete ALL other Adobe products -- including Flash and Adobe Reader. Plus, I had to do searches and delete any support files associated with them. It took hours!

Fatal error during installation

I have been attempting to update my version of Boot Camp from 2.1 to 2.2. I have tried on numerous occasions with Apple Software Update but it never installs when the computer restarts. I have Vista 32bit installed on the partition. I tried to update with my Snow Leopard disk to 3.0 but it says the installer encountered errors before Boot Camp could be configured. It also does this with my Leopard disk. As a last resort I tried to repair the Boot Camp Services from the Windows Vista control panel and I get Fatal Error During Installation. Any ideas?
Thanks,

Hi,
Since you only give one of error log and the Error 0x80070643 code is a common error, we need more information to diagnose the problem. Before you collect the logs, you should follow up these steps to install Visual Studio:
1. Re-download the Visual studio from Microsoft official site here:
http://www.visualstudio.com/downloads/download-visual-studio-vs
After download you should use File Checksum Integrity Verifier tool to verify the integrity of your download. If the values don't match, your download may be corrupted and you should download the file again:
Refer to the below page to know checksum detailed number:
http://www.visualstudio.com/en-us/downloads/visual-studio-2013-iso-sha1-vs.aspx#
Refer to
Download the Microsoft File Checksum Integrity Verifier to know how to check the checksum hash value.
2. Disable your Anti-Virus or Anti-Spyware software and be sure that your OS has been "patched" up - Update your computer (Windows) before install the VS.
3. Clean your %temp% folder and run the installer with Administrator permission.

Fatal error during installation of Live Office XI 3.1

Hello everyone,
Im getting Fatal Error during the installation of BOBJ Live Office XI 3.1. The full description: "The installation ended prematurely because of an error." This error occurs immediately after popup with Installer Information.
Maybe it happens because of my system: Windows 7 64 bit, MS Office 2010.
Do you have any advice how can I install it?
Thank you and best regards,
Sofija

Hi,
you should check the PAR but I'm pretty sure it doesn't run on Windows 7 nor on MS 2010.

Fatal error during installation - Error 1603 ONLY on XP

My Dears,
while installing any CS3 or CS4 Adobe product for my friend, at ~90% of installation error comes up:
"Adobe Photoshop CS4
Error:
Error 1603. Fatal error during installation."
I am struggling to solve it for 3 days now, and of corse I have seen and tryied all things proposed in posts like this: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/373577 , but still nothing helps me.
Thats list of all things that I have tryied to do:
- CleanUp fix
- Uninstalling all Adobe before fix
- Turning Internet off fix
- Turning anti-vir things off fix
- Registery fix
- Starting from CLEAN new system fix
- Changing language from US to International fix
Still nothing. Probably thats the point of problem:
Current Situation:
Got ACER ASPIRE x3200 desktop width Windows Vista (preinstalled), did clean installation of Windows XP and dumped Vista
There is no official drivers for XP, but got cracked chipset driver and official nVidia 8200 driver for XP from Internet
Got all Service Packs
100% legal
If nothing is working, maybe thats becaouse of my PC?! Installed it on my laptop with Vista 32b - WORKS (it means that installation CD is not corruptet or something). But then I have tryied to install it on another laptop with XP PRO - fail as with my PC. It seems that Windows XP Pro is not good for CS3 or CS4, BUT it did months before in my old unbranded PC.
Help! I really want to install that stuff.
Best Regards,
Westmidlander

I was only speaking very generally... This is all common sense...
Adobe and other software makers are moving on from XP in their development. Thus XP becomes more and more troublesome to use as the likelihood of problems increases.
In the case of installation, a lot of very specific things are required of an installer so that it can work on Windows 7. The User Account Control (UAC) system and other security measures such as file permissions have to be completely and properly satisfied to install software on the newer systems. Indeed, the application itself even has to work differently to be compliant - reference the recent 12.0.2 issues with loading scanner drivers for example, or the fact that Photoshop needs to put some things under C:\Users\... now that always used to be put under C:\Program Files\Adobe\...
It's not hard to imagine that Adobe isn't testing software as thoroughly on XP as they once did either. Perhaps they missed one of the quirks of XP in pursuit of getting it to install properly on Windows 7.
You're putting a new cutting edge software application on an operating system designed nearly 10 years ago (an epoch in high tech). That you don't see even more problems is a testament to Adobe's committment to support XP.

HP Deskjet and Officejet Full Feature Software and Drivers - Fatal error during installation

The "HP Print and Scan Doctor" reports software install problem on the scanner text.
In 2008 I bought an HP Pavilion Elite with Vista with a HP OfficeJet 5610 All-In-One connected through USB. About a year ago I upgraded to Windows 7 and print and scan worked OK. Last week I received an e-mail from HP for HP Print and Scan Doctor (ver 4.3) and installed it. I have had a problem trying to install the software updates that it said that I need. I have uninstall and reinstalled many times.
The HP Print and Scan Doctor said that the printing works but the scanner part fails at Registery, HP Scan Flow Manager, and Front Panel Test.
Any help would be appreacited.
The HP Print and Scan Doctor reports:
A later version of software is available for this product.
I used the install file: AIO_CDB_NonNet_Full_Win_WW_130_141.EXE.

"problem with shortcut/fatal error during installation" on other user accts

I-tunes installed and works with no problem in original user, but when another user account attempts to open Itunes, program attempts to install/configure again, then results in a "problem with shortcut / fatal error during installation" message. Setting the other users to administrators doesn't help, nor does un-installing/re-installing, etc. I am at least the 4th person with this problem (see Burthomp earlier today,Jan. 17 and Richard 1018 on Dec. 29). This problem started with Itunes 7.5, and is still a problem on Itunes 7.6. I have a standard Dell setup, Model E510. There must be a lot of people with this problem. Apple, are you working on this? Anyone else have a suggestion?

I ran into the same problem, but I think I have the solution. First, the problem isn't with iTunes, its an access problem with Windows XP. I tried to run the iTunes program from the Program Files, and I received an "Access Denied" error.
If you try to open the Program Files in My Computer\Local Disk(C:) and receive an "Access Denied" Error, that is why you are receiving a "shortcut problem/Fatal Error during installation".
Here is how I corrected it:
1) Shut down the computer and restart it in "safe mode". I had to look up how to do this, but I pressed F8 when it was restarting and I highlighted the "safe mode" and started the machine. The icons will be large, but ignore it.
2) Open a user that has administrative access -- I used the one user that has access to itunes.
3) Go to My Computer\Local Disk (C:) and right click on the "Program Files" folder. Select "properties" at the bottom.
4) Go to the Security Tab
5) At the top you should see one or two users that have access to the Programs File. One will be the user that itunes works on. Click Add, then click Advanced, then click Find Now.
6) At the bottom should appear a list of users. Select a user on which itunes doesn't work. Click Ok, then click OK again.
7) Give that user full access to the Program File by putting a check mark in the Full Access box.
8) Repeat for the remaining users.
9) Restart computer in normal mode.
10) Go into a user that had problems and click the itunes icon, and it should run.
It worked for me, I hope it works for you.
