RAID 5 Healthy At Risk
On my WinXP Pro system I have a MSI Mother Board P6N SLI Platinum, I'm using
the built-in Nvidia RAID 5 for a three drive 1.8TB and a 3ware RAID5 for another 1.8TB. When I start Computer Management and goto Disk Management the built-in RAID in the Status column now shows "Healthy (At Risk)". When I run the Nvidia support software and view the storage it reports the RAID 5 status as "Healthy". I've looked in the Event Viewer System and see a LOT of 7011 errors where the source is "Service Control Manager" I read the help about this but it is not helpful for me ("The specified service did not respond to a control request (such as pause, continue, interrogate, or stop) from Service Control Manager within the specified time."). Any suggestions - BTW I need the "dummies" level of suggestions. -- jgt |

RAID 5 Healthy At Risk
I take it nvidia built the RAID controller,not intel....Too bad,however,for
any RAID set,one must 1st set the BIOS for SATA &/or RAID (advanced chipset), then set boot priority (add in device or similiar),save & exit BIOS,next,press the proper key to create a RAID set (post BIOS utility that gets displayed at every pc start or restart),once configured,exit.At this point one would usually install xp & use the F6 option,you must have the a SATA hd with xp on it & now you want to create a set.Do the post BIOS RAID configuration first,then in xp let nvidia software get installed to the set,drivers for the controller also.How does 3ware enter it,another controller for RAID,if so,the above must be done also.Also, read: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/arc...in/ntserv.mspx "jgt" wrote: On my WinXP Pro system I have a MSI Mother Board P6N SLI Platinum, I'm using the built-in Nvidia RAID 5 for a three drive 1.8TB and a 3ware RAID5 for another 1.8TB.

It sounds like one of the hard drives is marginal. You need to test the hard drives with a diagnostic utility downloaded from the drive mftr.'s website. You will create a bootable CD with the file you download. You will need third-party burning software to do this such as Roxio, Nero, or the free CDBurnerXP Pro. Burn as an image, not as data. http://www.cdburnerxp.se/ Boot with the CD you made and do a thorough test of the drive. If it fails any physical tests, replace it.

yep, Malke is giving a sound reply. What you're seeing is two program areas giving you different ideas on the state of your HDD. Don't worry too much about that, different progs have differing parameters as to what's healthy or not - there is standard, which most follow, but not always... Best to be safe; if -one- program says it's at risk, then it probably IS at risk and it's time -now- not later, to replace that drive with a new, reliable one. data loss is painful, it's like a house fire! Don't get burned. |
