![]() Marklwood fournd a fix on the Adaptec support page that got by me last night. I was using the "Update Driver" button that was on the General page, they use the "Update Driver" button on the Driver page. I guess there is a difference, thanks Micosoft.
![]() It has been alot of work but I feel it was well worth it. Thanks to everybody for helping me out with the Raid card install. It's a new beast to me because Raid is not reccomened for Pro Recording Programs. ![]() ![]() Thanks Again and GOD bless all fo you! ![]() ![]() Jim ![]()

In the picture of the HighPoint RocketRAID1520 PCI SATA / IDE Controller Card there are some PATA to SATA adpaters.
http://www.newegg.com/Product/ShowIm...troller%20Card Would that not work with my drives? It is bootable. ![]() Jim ![]()

I'm using two 250 seagate drives. This is plenty of room for my 10,600+ KMA files (I don't use videos) so I should be good. If I need more space I can jump to two 300mb drive for about $200 right now. My drives are guaranteed for five years. they are now four years old. The raid setup gives me the confidence that if my C:\drive fails, I can get through the show without stopping and address the problem the next day. I just checked both of them with the Seagate Disc Wizard for Windows and they are running well but we never know when things might change. ![]() ![]() The next thing I plan on doing is to clone my C:\ drive to a new 300mb drive and keep it as a backup outside of the machine. I've been cloning my C:\ srive to an external drive as an extra backup but now realize that it is not bootable. I will check into the article that George brought to my attention on this point. If this works I can put my 300mb drive in my studio computer. ![]() Thanks Again for all of your help! Jim ![]()

This was RAID 1 I believe. It would take 3 drive RAID to overcome this. A backup is the safest way... IMHO. ![]() |

I plan on doing both.

Yea, I can't believe how cheap things got since companies started maufacturing their stuff in China. Like I told Admin, I will make a backup as well as using the raid setup. Did you ever have anything strange happen with your raid setup? Thanks Jim

hey admin i think jim is mainly thinking about the drive failing, not corrupting. ya know jim i have a 1TB external hard drive that i keep a back up image of all my computers on (like 10 computers). after a fresh install of windows and doing all updates plus installing all programs, this way i can always put that fresh copy of windows on any hard drive when it starts to act funny.

Did a bit more research on this and Admin is partially right. It is Raid 1 but that is the Mirroring raid. I believe what they were using before was Raid 0 which stripes the data across 2 or more drives but with no parity, thus when one drive fails all data is lost. Raid 5 replaced this which gives you striped data with parity, so losing one drive does not lose the data. Replace the bad drive and the data is recovered. This is best with 3 or more drives and mostly used for servers.
Raid 1 (Mirroring) gives you two identical drives where one can take over in the event of a failure of the primary. The best set-up for this would also be to have each drive as the master on separate ribbon cables. There is also a Raid 1 with Duplexing in which you use two drives and two separate controller cards. That gives you total redundancy so that losing a control or losing a drive will not effect operation. More expensive due to the two controllers but more reliable too. You have got me thinking Jim and I may be joining you in this soon. Certainly couldn't hurt.

Thanks Bob, all worked well for me last night but I did notice that some of the small issues I was having with Hoster before I upgrded to 1gb of RAM reappeared. Having two sound cards (getting ready for the ability to use a second sound card to listen to song while Hoster is playing through the main sound card

Now I can see that if the data on my C:\ drive is corupt, it will also be corupt on the second drive, how could it not be? ![]() ![]() The main benifit of using Raid that I see as valuable is the fact that a C:\ drive failure would not shut down my show. This is all new to me so any suggestions on having a "better Raid system" is greatly appreciated. Thanks Jim ![]()
