ASUS SABERTOOTH X58: I look for info about RAID
Hi, I have a PC with ASUS SABERTOOTH X58 and inside there are 3 hard
drives C, D and E. In C there is OS Windos 7, D has RAID0 (2 hard disk) and E has RAID0 (2 hard disk). I am an inexperienced man about RAID. With my PC I make video editing. In E I put files for video editing but this hard drive gives me many problems. I like to remove the RAID. I have just gone into BIOS but I am afraid to get into trouble. Can you tell me what have I to do for removing RAID in E hard drive? Thanks! |

ASUS SABERTOOTH X58: I look for info about RAID
Once the files are safely stored on the external drive, then you can
go into the BIOS (or use the RAID management panel in Windows) and do a "Delete Array" for E1:E2. I thank you for your esaustive answer but I don't understand the right page in BIOS for deleting ARRAY. IN BIOS I don't see that page you tell me. |

I thank you for your esaustive answer but I don't understand the right page in BIOS for deleting ARRAY. IN BIOS I don't see that page you tell me. You still haven't said whether the E: array is connected to Intel ports or not. The following answer, assumes the E: RAID 0 array is connected to the Intel SATA ports. In the Sagertooth motherboard manual, see section 4.4.4 "Intel Matrix Storage Manager option ROM Utility" Press ctrl-I, which means to press and hold the Control key, while tapping the I key once. You should then see a dialog like this in the BIOS. This is copied from the manual. http://img809.imageshack.us/img809/2219/intelraid.gif The manual says, when you select item 2 "Delete RAID Volume", then a new dialog will appear, and you select the array to be deleted there. Be careful to select the correct two disks! ******* There are two options in that dialog, one says "Reset" and the other says "Delete". You try "Delete" first, and if it doesn't work, you try the "Reset" option. They're not defined in the manuals I downloaded, but I did find a website with the appropriate instructions. http://forum.notebookreview.com/alie...urce-cd-3.html "12.2 Delete RAID Volume When a RAID volume is deleted, RAID metadata on the participating disks is erased and sector zero is cleared, that is partition table and file system related data are reset. Windows installer will not see any invalid data at the time of OS installation. This is the recommended method for reconfiguring the RAID volume and installing OS on it. 12.1 Reset Disk to Non-RAID This option is used to reset the metadata on the disk which participates in more than one RAID volume in single operation. It should be used if 'Delete RAID Volume' option fails for any reason and to reset a disk that has been marked as Spare and offline member. When a disk in the RAID volume is reset to non-RAID, RAID metadata is erased. However, partition table and file system related data still exists, which may be invalid. This might cause Windows installer to misinterpret the information available on the 'reset disk' at the time of installation. This could result in unexpected behavior in OS installation." HTH, Paul |

ASUS SABERTOOTH X58: I look for info about RAID
Paul, you are very kind to answer with this detailed reply. I will
read it with attention but now I have solve a different problem. Accidentally now my BIOS has gone into default and its fans now make a dull noise. In BIOS I don't see the possibility to lower that noise. I don't see Power Management of the fans. Do you know if there is it? How can I solve my problem? Thanks a lot. |
