The volume knob on the speaker does control the headphone volume too. i have this jacks from the MB: Rear Speaker / Central / Bass / Line in / Front Speaker / Microphone my speakers go to the Line In jack. it's actually weird that it's called Line In and not Line Out... so it seems i don't...

Hi guys, I have the AsRock Z87 Extreme9/ac motherboard which has the Realtek ALC1150 Audio Codec on board. currently it's connected to my M-Audio AV40 speakers which has a headphone jack of their own which is easier to use since it's right there on the desktop. I'm wondering if there's...

ok, so here's an update! i ran ddrescue, all 4 drives are now backed up, 0 errors. that's a good sign. i connected all the drives to the machine, not through the controller of course, and i ran RecliaMe Free RAID Recovery tool on them. this is what i got: [/URL][/IMG] the full text...

i'm using IBM m1050 RAID Controller, i disconnected everything and i want to do all of the mentioned actions on another system. it's not the PSU (swithed it to a new one during that period). i also think that the drives are probably ok which kind of reassures me that i could still get the data...

i had drives breaking from the array repeatedly until i got 3 out of 4 drives who broke from the array and it started to trey and rebuild them. i don't know for sure that there are any bad sectors but i very well might have. it could also be a problem with my RAID Controller. in any case, i...

thank you very much for all the useful information. my problem is a messed up RAID 10 array of 4 drives. i want to backup all the drives before trying to fix the array, hence the need for ddrescue. what does "force --no-split" command means exactly? and why not try the r- 3 command from...

Hi there, i'm trying to rescue data from a few drives. after consulting i was referred to ddrescue for cloning and than for ddrutility for finding out which files are messed up. i have no Linux experience at all, i'm on Windows. i am trying to learn but there is so much information that i...

i am replacing it of course. i am currently using a second machine to do all that. that's why it's going to take some time... at least i hope i'll have time to dive into this Linux thing... can i use gparted to identify the drives? Eli

thanks. it will take me some time to do that, i need to buy 4 4tb drives and such... you have been very helpful i i will post here with updates. Eli

that is tremendously helpful! thanks a lot! Eli

first of all, thank you for the comments. i do intend to swim back to shore :) i wasn't claiming being an expert but i am learning and trying. about the situation at hand- i understand that it is likely to assume that the drives are dead, but, they very well might not be. it may look...

i have zero experience with Linux. is this ddrescue thing bootable, and therefor it will work regardless of the OS or do i need to have Linux installed somehow for it to work? wow this will be a pretty hefty expense buying 4 4tb drives... is it really the only option?? and i thought the...

i want to do it as safe as i can get, i just want to make sure i'm doing it right. i have the X4 4tb drives that were in the RAID 10 array. meaning i have 8tb of data (actually it's less because they're not completely full but still, let's say it's 8tb). i should just plug them out of the...

well, i can't import the array so i don't know how should i backup the drives since i can't get into Windows with the array set up. what do you mean not using sibling drives in an array? it's a RAID 10 so its is suppose to look like a big 8tb drive anyways and since there aren't any 8tb drives...

How many drives do i need to do that? Backup means 2 drives and to recreate it i'm suppose to use the original drives? I have 2 2tb drives and another 3 1gb external drives abd i'm trying to figure out if that's enough... Eli
