I just managed to mess up my 1600 SC with Linux Mandrake. I want to change it from raid 5 to Win 7 and turn it into a JBOD. I can't get it to recognize the dvd player so the win disc won't fire up...ideas? Thanks!

RAID , DDDDDDDDDDDDDDD, like the insect spay commercial yelled. RAIDDDDDDDD
no computer told at all and no OS told of VAST nor versions.
No bay makers name and connections names, to the bay.
what class if connection is that, of vast.

I have many raids here, all are raid 6 and real blade servers.

jbod , just a bunch of disks, shows up as (yours) 3 of 8 disks.
do you have a raid controller here (pci-e slot)
desktop PC with 6 or 8 sata ports. some dead? BIOS coin cell dead/?
or SAS server or NAS
or using the lame old intel RAID features in the Intel RAID SATA chip no longer support at all by intel. (OS upgrade kills that)
running only software RAID? who's?

if not a RAID card?
the run smart tests. see if all disk pass , this is first.
100%free and safe

wha tech does is listen to each HDD spin, with ears.
use screw driver long handle to ear and blade on hdd case.
hear it spin if not ,it is dead.
I love scotties posts.

this simple test works on all machines on earth that spin..
do so safely.
learn the skill or buy a $5 mechanics stethoscope at the auto store.
wow, even better.
way 2, is a kitchen towel card board tube to ear. wow costs zero.

the PC with 6 or 8 sata ports
all must be enabled in bios if the coin cell is dead, well they fail randomly,CMOS goes NUTS

no external HDD cage told, at all , maker and model
and if had told that I can work the problem back from there
and 10x less words and less error, amazing.

Try to reboot and press F8. -repair your computer- restore to factory.

Assuming this is still an issue...old as it is...

You need to boot the server and press the correct prompt to enter the BIOS of your PERC RAID controller. There you need to manage your physical/logical volumes.

Chances are that either you had a drive failure or the metadata on your RAID volume (JBOD?) was corrupted. This is a common issue with these LSI-based PERC[5-6]i RAID controllers that Dell utilized.

Not quite sure what your problem is but I would recommend getting Windows Server for a server like this. The HP site recommends the following OSes: Microsoft Windows 2000,
Microsoft Windows Server 2003 (Standard, Enterprise, and Datacenter) ,
LINUX (Red Hat, SuSE) or Microsoft Windows 2000 Datacenter Edition. It is unlikely Windows 7 will install on this 5 year old server.

you have a jbod you will need to do this right click on my computer select manage from the drop down menue under this option you are going to select disk management on the lower right it will list the hard drive if installed correctly.Initialize the drive and format it .
Good luck

I'm thinking you should be checking the drives. If one of them is failing, you will get parity errors.

Hi Awene,

Due to yours is RAID 0. I don`t think you still can recover any of your data if you have backup before then you are very lucky. I recommend that you should use RAID 3 or higher. Please refer to this link for more details http://www.acnc.com/04_01_00.html
cheers

Hi
as i interpret your question, you are asking for some examples of Operating Sytems? if thats so, here are some:

MS Windows
ver. 3.11, Win95, Win98, WinME, WinXP, Win Vista
Win NT, Win2000 Pro, Win2000 Server, Win 2003 Server

Linux OS, several "flavors" like Ubuntu, Red Hat, Mandrake, Bayanihan Linux (from DOST-UP)

Sun Solaris, Unix Operating System, BeOS

Apple MacOS, OSX, OS 9

almost forgot, DOS, MS DOS and PC DOS

ya there is a problem with driver while installing fedora core 4 i think ... u must have also tried in that only ... so i suggest you to install other version of linux... there are many other versions available like ubuntu,mandrake,redhat. or you just give try with installing the latest version of fedora core ...( try fedora core 6 or 7)..
as linux is a open source for all you can download it from net for free.............
