OK I think the FAQ on raid is really great but what ro do if things go wrong??? I have a RAID 1 maintained by Matrix Intel Storage Technology on a PW5 DH Deluxe where, following a major system problem data has been lost . The Raid 1 comprised 2 ITB drives into a RAID out of which 2...

HWell I have just updated all the drivers/matrix controller and go the syystem runniong again. However the bad news is that a lot of files on the Matrix Raid System seem to have disappeared so I now need some data recovery tools that will work with a RAID 1 volume. The strange thing is that not...

PS When referring to files loaded in safe mode - files are reported in the safe mode file list as being loaded but then the system immediately reboots!

Ok Some progress but still not there yet. I changed the system back to the previous ram (2x1G) and after removing and replacing the battery to flush the cmos started off again. This time I used F6 to load the the JMicron36 Raid/AhCI driver and the intel ICH&R 64 bit raid driver. I then got the...

I am hoping someone may have some ideas here. I have done some more tests with the ram. I removed 2 of the 4 2GB sticks and then tested those in each pair to no avail. I removed that memory and tried again with 2x1 GB sticks of pc2 9200 OCZ FlexXLC all to no avail. So I am pretty sure the...

After enabling spd DRAM timings I got a new fault when trying to boot from win xp pro x64 CD: PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA *** STOP: 0X00000050 (0xFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF, 0x0000000000000000, 0xFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF, 0x0000000000000000)

AHA more infor Tried booting from the Windows CD and fgot ther following error: DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL Technical Information *** STOP: 0x000000D1 (0x0000000000000000, 0x000000000000000C, 0x0000000000000000, 0x0000000000000000) Can anyone point me in the right direction here? This is...

Just adding some more detailed information. Here is a full reading of the BIOS settings after upgrading the BIOS - Many thanks for the image. There is still the same problem -- cannot get past the windows apologising for the inconvenience - boot failure screen and an immediate reboot. Here...

I have just made some changes to the bios .. some progress but not a full solution yet!! I configured sata as Raid for the second raid system and the Boot sequence now shows: 1st Drive : [RAID:External Disk] 2nd Drive : [RAID: Intel Library] On boot up I now get the windows failed to boot...

Ok Thanks for that. I have now hit a problem. I believe I have inadvertently made some changes in the bios which have resulted in windows failing to boot. The OS is installed on the EZ-backup drives. I cannot find the original CD which has the detailed instructions for managing the ez-raid...

Yes here is bios info: I am wondering if I have selected correct settings for the amibios to ensure that the memory that could be used by the OS is made available to it. Bios reports presence of 8G but only identifies 3.2G available. Here is Bios Info: +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Bios...

I am wondering if I have selected correct settings for the amibios to ensure that the memory that could be used by the OS is made available to it. Bios reports presence of 8G but only identifies 3.2G available. OS is win prof x64 with SP2. However as bios is reporting only 3.2 it seems to me...

Thanks for taking the time I am on way out now and will do some more research in the morning. I have some reservations atm. 1. I do not know whether I want to prepare for possible upgrading to a more powerful processor as the prices drop (maybe a QX6800 late next year :-). 2. Will I want to...

OK lets assume we go for the 7900 (or at best 7950) and the 6600. How about the amd v Intel ? The Intel E6700 is a little over the $500 mark and the Athlon 5000 is around $300 with the 5200 coming somewhere in between. The motherboard for the intel is about $20 more than the amd so the...
