it is very laborious, oh well try try till you succeed they say :) any idea on how to split the image( of the woven drive) back to raid ?

sorry for late update! university has just started, so was running around registering my courses and stuff. i was given a program by a friend to weave the 3 drive's (images) so i'm just trying to find the correct, slice size, because there is nothing that in the raid controller settings, or anything. ;) a general question, so if i get the right size, all the pic's ( well i'm using jpgs to find out, i read Scott A. Moulton "RAID by Sight and Sound" ) would all the jpg look ok ?

cool!

sorry couldnt reply earlier, the telecoms guys were screwing around, so no net for the whole city!.. the drivers are still not available, cnet takes me back to adaptec and then the following error and most other sites are a dead end too!

damn, is there any way i can the drivers off the drive, because i just cant seem to find the drivers for this, as they came with the server, and are not made any more

I did try that and it tells me that it cannot find any harddrives in the machine, so it does not even get to the Recovery console

my bad, it does not successfully get into safe mode, when i pick the safe mode option, it starts to boot, but restarts when loading acpitabl.dat

but now i don't know where to find adaptec 2610SA drivers

i did try pressing F8 when booting, disabled auto restart on error, and saw that during normal boot the error (BSOD) is 0x0000007B . however when i go to safe mode, i don't see a bsod, it loads the drivers the last one it loads is acpitabl.dat, and immediately it is supposed to load the gui it reboots, without any errors this time, and no i'm not responsible if they did not keep their backup's :P

good point, i had completely forgotten about that, thanks ;) i'm having a bad morning, i was suspicious of my third image it being only 10GB ... ( the images were not made by me) and now it seems that disk 0, and disk 2 are both have bad sectors,. so now i should just jump off a building or something!!!

no. no, i didnt want that :(,,,,, forgive me if that i a bit melo dramatic,, if that is the case then i i'll go to my alternative idea, of installing the OS, on a vm, then comparing the and pasting.. hope that will work, but i do think that the guys that did install the RAID, did not do it properly!

thanks, i did image the three drives, so i guess even if i mess up i can go back, the raid controller is the Adaptec 2610SA, that came with an HP ML 350, and i'm trying to find a manual for it hoping that would help me a bit!, how would i fix the os, because it boots, and windows starts loading (you know in 2003 the moving thing), then i get a BSOD, and it automatically restarts, and i dont even have time to read what it says

i can mount the 31 gb, and not the rest of the drive!

no i cant use the drive on another machine, because it is partitioned, as 31Gb of ntfs and 110 GB of raid, the dd, of the drive is fine, but the os is damaged a little bit,

well i'm not booting it on any raid, just my normal machine,

have you tried it through WINE.

the funny thing is they do have a back up server, F**k the anonymity thing, i have my local "water utilities" server (dum idiots) , and mysteriously, their back up server died, so all hope depends on the server i have.... so now they dont have a backup! i dd the faulty drive, skipping errors , and intend to dd the other drive's as well, just incase things turn south (dd, works on raid right?) that guy quit the job,and that is why he is an ass. the reason i'm very suspecious, is because when i plugged in the "disk 0" on to my ubuntu machine to dd it had a 31GB. NTFS partition and the rest was raid, so that is where i start wondering did they configure the raid correctly!, i did plug in a new drive, and rebuilt the raid, but the thing wont boot!

hi guys, well i'm stuck in a very awkward position a pickle more likely , promised i would help somebody and he ended being an ass. i have a server running "ms server 2003", configured to raid 5 ( i think), it is using a raid controller card (so it is hardware raid), has three hard-drives, the problem is that first disk (disk 0) has an error a bad sector. so when it boots its crashes, so it means i have to swap, the drive's the task is to return the machine like "nothing ever happened", so should i just plug in a new drive, same size of-course and ask it to rebuild raid... helpppppp or just point me in the write direction .i dont want to loose the data on it! :(

lol, that would truly be interesting I just had a bizarre notion in my head, . so imaging you go to your ISP, and they have a counter called "PORN", and there is a long form to fill, and you have to stand at the counter till they sort out a "problem".. it would be super embarrassing...

nice read!

LOL

well found this http://wikileaks.ch/mass-mirror.html on a fedora forum, some guy was asking on securing the server!

well i have a room dedicated to pc ( use it for lan'ing most of the time), but mine looks like a junk yard

i just realized something, when you quote! it look's like this, and the rest looks like normal text, is that normal! QUOTE (charm_quark @ Sun, 28 Nov 2010 00:33:21 +0000) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
