Dear all: I am a computer hobbyist and like experimenting with PCs and server equipment essentially for the sake of it. Thus, whilst I know more than your average user, what I have "learnt" may not be exactly correct. I have a server sitting in my house running Windows and I am planning to...

Hi: Thanks all for the help so far - I think the last iso has provided a lot of answers and with the supplied raid manager I was able to set the discs as I liked and see what everyone was talking about on here. I will be doing a lot of video editing and hosting as well as thin client stuff...

Hi: OK therein lies the first problem - I thought that the serveraid prog was booting from disc as this ctrl i function came about at the time i re-seated the raid card and inserted the newly burnt disc. Otherwise the card has just started working along with this control i think by complete...

Hi: It is a RAID 5 yes. As I am not really using this as a server with sensitive/crucial data on it is it possible to make the logical drive the physical size of the drive so that the server sees all three drives as partitions of one big drive and I can use them accordingly? Thanks Graham PS...

Hi: Update - I have solved the password issue. However, I cannot get around the fact that the logical drive is set to 50 odd gig and still cannot see the other drives in windows. I now have access to the configuration tools but these don't seem to do anything useful. They probably do but I...

Hi all: Many thanks for your help so far - it would appear that my initial issue is RESOLVED. However, this has now thrown up some other issues as a consequence of my lack of experience I think. However, rather than wade through tonnes of literature I am firstly in search of a quick answer...

Hi: I cannot remember the exact message and I do not know how long it was off/messed around with before I was given it but it said something about non-recoverable exception and something about the server failing to boot three consecutive times and says it will reset. It does reset and then...

Hi: The controller I have is ServeRAID-5i Controller and is listed on this page: http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/abstracts/tips0784.html#5i For reference it daes from 2002 and has the yellow battery and the black box on it. I cannot boot the system with this plugged in so it is defective in some...

Hi: Many thanks for this - I will definitely do this as it would appear that the more I looked into this the more I realised that I did/do not understand the fundementals of RAIDs and arrays. I assume everything will get easier from here. However, it would apppear that the drives are not going...

Edit: I have installed Server Manager or whatever the IBM disk management program is but haven't used it yet as didn't get time.

Hi all: I am posting on this forum as an experienced amateur rather than someone with formal qualifications in IT infrastructure. That said I do build/repair computers and have informally managed a network previously. I was given the above server and am experimenting with it in my house hoping...
