We have talked about this in our Blog which you can find at chephrenrepairs.com/nuc here is the link to the blog called the Computer Fixer
The whole ider of RAID is that you can have two disks in a computer acting a bit like one, and if one fails then it is possible to keep going, plus it is possible to replace the faulty or failed disk and the Raid Array will rebuild itself. The RAID Array might go wrong, the Raid software might go wrong and even the little chip that controls the RAID might go wrong!! But before you start checking all of thouse check the much more simple things first?
We have a RAID running on an EVGA 680 SLI Motherboard, and one morning we wake up and start the computer and before the compter boots we see a message on the screen in" Red writting" saying the Raid Has Degraded!!! The computer still boots up though, perhaps a bit slower than normal, and you see the icons to log in to Windows XP. This proves on thing and that is: even though there is something wring with the comuter, sorry wrong with the computer, the operating system still boots.
Before you go much further you should check inside the raid array control panel, this is software and you will find it probably somewhere like C:\WINDOWS\system32\nvcplUI.exe
Anyway it is the Nividia control panel, and when you open that there are two icons: Networking and Storage. Open up the Storage one, and if in here only one disk can be seen you can guess why the computer says the Raid Array is Degraded.
So we thought::....... look you can break the Array and the then try to test each disk using Manufacturers software, the thinking is that there might be something wrong with one of the two disks, or you can do something even simpler than that, and that is to break the RAID Array, thent to carefully reseat the power and the SATA cables with a little tlc. Then ask the software to rebiuild the Array. We did that and it flashed up in green saying it needed some software driver, we just said yes... then we waited... nothing happed apparently for a while, but then we sore a littel message pop up from the Task bar saying Raid Rebuilding and a percentage... RAID Rebuilding is slow, but i fyou are patient i twill get there, just leave the computer on ... obviously!!!??

Chephrenrepairs is expanding fast, and we now have a lot more web space plus we have a newer version of PHP to play with and of course we are going to utalise the extra space and the extra MySql databases we have... Lovely.... We start work today Saturday 15th November 2008 on a new project we are building a web page that is larely dynamic, essentially it will indicate all the Services and Value added Services provided by that company in Maiden Erleigh that can Repair your Computer for you, the link to the new page will be in this article plus will be found latter on our home page or Chephrenrepairs.com So what's different about this page, you ask: "like giggly 6 year old little girl being given a huge ice cream," well most of the content will be placed on the page from a Database, and whats more this database will in time grow so the page will grow having more and more relavent content on it and to crown it all we will regularly add both content and links to the page and submit it to Google, Yahoo and MSN. The Bots and Spiders will love it and to make sure it gets indexed fast we will create links to this page from several of our more popular pages on the web site ...Cool ahh |
