Re: [H] Freaky Friday WinXP install -- (a bit long)

Jim, OK. I sorta understand your True Image app use. I know zip about Linux, other than it is another os. Really can not comment on it. I might suggest a check that both the nVidia drivers for the on-board appliancs (NForce), and the drivers for Sil3114 are up to date. Someone else mentioned

Re: [H] Freaky Friday WinXP install -- (a bit long)

Rick, Thanks for the reply and personal experience. The more I look at all the problems, the more I am inclined to suspect the southbridge. It is passively cooled with a small heatsink and is quite warm to the touch. I don't know if that is indicative of anything. All the problems I have encounter

Re: [H] Freaky Friday WinXP install -- (a bit long)

Sounds similiar to the problems I had on a couple MBs I swapped out last fall... I think the SouthBridge chipset went. Everything else worked well after the replacement of the MBs. My UBS stability (such as it is) was the first thing to g

Re: [H] Freaky Friday WinXP install -- (a bit long)

Before Friday, I was always able to see the SATA and SATA RAID0 drives with True Image. I used to use Norton Ghost (from System Works 2003) and could see the Sil3114 SATA RAID0 I had installed at that time. The recovery disk must have the drivers installed to see the SATA and SCSI disks. When I was

Re: [H] Freaky Friday WinXP install -- (a bit long)

that would allow me to see my SATA drivers from the Ghost CD, please let me know. Bobby -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of James Maki Sent: Sunday, March 09, 2008 10:06 PM To: hardware@hardwaregroup.com Subject: Re: [H] Freaky Friday WinXP

Re: [H] Freaky Friday WinXP install -- (a bit long)

Duncan, Actually the recovery disk for True Image is Linux based. It loads from CD after boot but before Windows loads. It also comes with a Windows based program that will create the image from within Windows. You have to re-boot to the Linux program only when restoring the C:/boot drive. As long

Re: [H] Freaky Friday WinXP install -- (a bit long)

Jim, Going to suppose that TrueImage is a sw system and that it has to be loaded after-the-fact (post boot, post logon). As such, it presumes that the base machine's power is AOK as well as all the machines I/O. As with base OS systems, I suspect that TrueImage will have internal problems if o

Re: [H] Freaky Friday WinXP install -- (a bit long)

I have the same problem if only the SATA RAID0 drives are the only drives attached. I will try a different PSU and see if it makes a difference. Thanks, Jim > -Original Message- > From: Brian Weeden > Having had flaky PSUs cause weird hard-to-diagnose problems > before I would > agree

Re: [H] Freaky Friday WinXP install -- (a bit long)

Having had flaky PSUs cause weird hard-to-diagnose problems before I would agree with Duncan. If drives are having problems spinning up all at the same time that could lead to problems with them being "seen" I would think. - Brian Weeden Technical Consultant Secure World Foundation On Sun,

Re: [H] Freaky Friday WinXP install -- (a bit long)

I had that thought, but how would a power supply problem affect True Image and its ability to "see" the SATA RAID0 and other hard drives? Jim > -Original Message- > From: DHSinclair > Jim, Thanks for that bit of info. Went back and read both > recent posts > again. I truly believe yo

Re: [H] Freaky Friday WinXP install -- (a bit long)

Jim, Thanks for that bit of info. Went back and read both recent posts again. I truly believe you have a power problem; too many things the need oomph and not enough oomph to give. I'd do some power recalculation, but I vote that your psu is giving up the fight. It reads like a classic "sag"

Re: [H] Freaky Friday WinXP install -- (a bit long)

What are all the drives in your system for? Can you describe your storage layout? One thing I'm not sure if you tried but hitting F6 while the WinXP setup is loading will allow you do load storage drivers. That has helped me in the past for things that XP didn't have a native driver for. -

Re: [H] Freaky Friday WinXP install -- (a bit long)

Yes it is. Too many problems that don't seem to point to a single solution. Jim > -Original Message- > From: DHSinclair > > Jim, > It this system (winXP-reinstall) the same system that was > having trouble > with the WD hard drive? > Best, > Duncan > > At 11:27 03/09/2008 -0700, you
