MERGED QUESTION Question from pixelmxr : "760gma-p34 (fx) Set up" This MB is in a new system (shell) that I purchased and I’m having issues recognizing the OS. I’m A bit green but I thought I could simply move the drive w/the OS from The old to the new. I don’t know if the issue is the sata...

This MB is in a new system (shell) that I purchased and I’m having issues recognizing the OS. I’m A bit green but I thought I could simply move the drive w/the OS from The old to the new. I don’t know if the issue is the sata drive connections being used or the process that I’m trying to use...

I'm looking at adding a 2nd cloud backup service with Crashplan, I already have Backblaze and I'm curious to know the following: 1. What, if any, conflicts might I experience having 2 backup programs running? 2. Is anyone else using Crashplan? If so what is your perspective of it. I have been...

don't know what happened but NOW I can't see anything! I shut down my computer and moved the Xcellon and plugged it back in and only 1 light comes one.. AAAAAAAHJHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks Kaltorak... I setup the box as a raid 5 and didn't like what I saw, a lot of small partitions so I simplified everything and got what I was looking for. I now have a single house w/5 drives + 2 additional externals vs the stack of mess I had w/cords & adapters running everywhere. Was not...

i have a new Xcellon DRD501 and 3 new Seagate 2TB drives that I got for free (God Is Good, ALL the Time). I also have a 3TB & 1.5 TB drive that have data on them that I want to place in the Xcellon that I am running under WIN 7 PR w/12 GIGs of RAM. I have a few questions of clarification. 1. I...

Thanks for the quick class on raid types... Here's what I'd really like to know..... How do I get the raid back? I place all of my data on external drives during daily use and have a cloud backup system that works well BUT I'd like to take advantage of the 1 TB of storage between the 4 drives...

Don't laugh but I don't know.. Whatever array was in place when I got the box is what I was using however I think it was "0". I would like an array that ensures I don't loose data and more importantly does not sacrifice speed

I tried something and it did not work but it appears that it had an affect on my raid, but I am not sure. I purchased a Dell Precision T3500 running WIN 7 w/4 250gig drives. I know next to nothing about raid but I thought I could expand the storage capability by swapping some of the 250gig...

I don't know WHERE or HOW to classify this so I'll list the issues and go from there. I'm running WIN 7 on new (refurbished) Dell Precision T3500 w/Avast antivirus. I ran into an issue where (all of a sudden) Citrix Receiver, a program used to access a portal on my job was not working & a corp...

I'm very green to RAID so let me ask a Q.... My box is new and all my data is on the various external drives and that's in part intentional and due to the fact that I placed everything on externals before my old box crashed. As a result 3 of the drives are empty. If I restrict my computer to...

Please excuse the length of this, I want to answer as many Qs up front as I can to reduce the need for followup before solutions can be offered. I have a Dell 3100 Precision Workstation w/12 gigs of ram running WIN7 PRO. IThad a RAID 0 (as I understand it) in 4 drives of 250gigs each. I have...

Thanks for the info... I was in communication w/Microsoft on this issue as well & could not do all that they recommended BUT, I found a solution that works for me, kinda by accident. I ended up with the OS on 2 drives so I placed windows on my smaller SSD drive w/a few programs since it's...

I have a Dell precision 390 w/8gig of ram, running WIN 7 pro w/SP1 & SATA PORTS 0-3. I am having a nightmare of a time resolving an issue related to my OS where I see 2 versions available & I can't eliminate 1. I'm curious to know if the SATA ports on the MB have any impact on which drive has...
