WONT RECOGNIZE ADDED DRIVES ADDED 2 ADDITIONAL 146

That depends on your PSU. What kind is it, how much wattage does it output, does it have enough cables to support that many devices, etc.

If it has enough cables to attach all of the hardware you have with no splitters than you are most likely ok. If you are not sure, a standard HDD uses anywhere from 0.5 watts to 12 watts of power depending on brand, make, model, and power saving features.

Use the HP Smart Start to configure.

the specs i read says 8 gig is the max. here is what it says for RAM
RAM

• Installed Size 4.0 GB / 8.0 GB (max)
• Technology DDR2 SDRAM
• Memory Speed 667.0 MHz
• Form Factor DIMM 240-pin
• Features Dual channel memory architecture
• Configuration Features 2 x 2 GB

check to make sure you have added the right type of memory. also look at your user manual. it should tell you where and how to place the added sticks. sometimes they have to be added in pairs or have to be in specific slots. also if you dont have the manual it is on the gateway site. you should type in your model and serial number and get all the info you need.

did the computer start up ok with the last configuration?

Hi,

Having tried 2 cables you should now try it on a different computer. Chances are there is a failure inside the enclosure but you will know for sure if it also fails to recognize on another PC.

Once you're tried that, if it does work on the other computer the problem is corruption in your Mac, archive and re-install the Mac, if it doesn't work on the other computer then take it to your local PC shop or parts vendor and have them move the drive into a different enclosure for testing.

If it works in the new enclosure, buy it and your on your way. If it fails to work even in the new enclosure then you will need the help of a pro to get at the files, if that is the case, reply back with your Country, State and city and I will direct you to an appropriate pro.


Hope this helps FixYa,

Your last results is running your comp OK because it is really only running on the 512 stick. When putting 2 different sizes together it will only run on the smallest, with this said here is a website http://www.4allmemory.com it will test your comp to exactly what type RAM you need . I buy for my clients all the time from this website. Very reliable,Try it..and remember about the 2 sizes

Although the system "sees" the drives, it also must have the new drives included in the RAID method you are using within the SAN system. Depending on the RAID type and controller used this can be accomplished in several ways but it should be done within your RAID manager. you are basically expanding the RAID. Then the SAN will be of the new dimensions.

CAUTION: backup first! Most RAID controllers can do this on the fly, but some will cause data loss during this operation!!!

-Good Luck

What type of Computer are you installing this 80g drive on? How old is it? I need to know some specifics, because in older machines the BIOS are not setup to recognize large capacity HD, in addition you may have recieved a bad Drive. Please advise! I may have an answer for you!

If u want fast transfer use this software:

if u want manually just COPY -PASTE TO WD

A larger drive should auto-configure just fine keep in mind that you may not get access to the full drive depending on how you have it all setup. In any case if there are any problems with the auto-configure you should be able to easily go into the RAID manager and tell it what you want to do with the drive.
