    ok, I'm an idiot (well, thom's instructions said "agent mode", it was staring right at me as "aging mode" in service menu.

    LG L246W

    I've made progress. when attached to an older nvidia 7900GT (as opposed to the i5-2500k's hdmi) via a dvi->usb cable it detects the eeprom just fine, but then when I try to update, it gives an error that the "EEPROM may be write-protected or the cable may simply be too long". I've enabled the...

    as a followup to my previous message, I see thom's method of updating the edid via powerstrip, but when I try to use it, I get an "EEPROM Error" message from powerstrip. "An EDID EEPROM was not detcted on the selected monitor. Do you want to scan the bus for other EDID EEPROMs?"

    did you figure this out? I have same issue (including in bios) on my i5-2500k machine

    Z68 (i5-2500k) / HDMI and my old LG L246WP

    So I've built a new machine, and wanted to be able to use the built in hdmi. However, this appears to be a problem. The screen is cropped (say about 1/8 of the left most side is missing, and I think a tiny bit on top) and it's moved (i.e. I end up with something that approximates a 4x3 box...

    raid5 issue (2 disks died, don't want to lose all data)

    so, to resurrect my thread. as have 4 disks, the raid is rebuildable. However, seagate replaced the 400GB drives w/ 500GB drives. megaraid didn't seem to like it. as I had 3.5 TBs of room unallocated on my linux raid server, I create an lvm partition, wrote the images to it (w/ the help of...

    raid5 issue (2 disks died, don't want to lose all data)

    in this case, I don't see how a hot spare wouldn't have helped. I have Disks 1-5 Timeline T1: Disk 2 dropped. T2: Rebuild started. T3: Disk 1 died w/ major problems even with a hot spare, if it the rebuild would have been to the hot spare, would have still had the same problem.

    raid5 issue (2 disks died, don't want to lose all data)

    I'm waiting on seagate to send me the replacement disks. I'm actually going to image the other 3 disks to make sure they are ok (And get some SMART data on them). Though after I recover the array, I might just get rid of them as a raid array and use the card for jbod usage, unsure I really...

    raid5 issue (2 disks died, don't want to lose all data)

    after a whole lot of effort, I was finally able to get one disk fully read with ddrescue! so now I have hopefully 4 good disks, will ddrescue the other 3 disks to ensure. now, hopefully I can force the array to be built. otherwise I'll have to look into the third party utility

    raid5 issue (2 disks died, don't want to lose all data)

    anything I lost that wasn't backed up, isn't "needed" (for instance, probably about 500GB of media center recorded tv shows). Its stuff that while not simply replacable isn't a great loss. Other things include stuff that I can get again, but will take time (it served as my local software...

    raid5 issue (2 disks died, don't want to lose all data)

    I'd argue I can be even smarter. I have 2 disks that are bad in different areas. I could do this 1) get replacement disk 0, image it w/ image made from original disk 0 with its 512byte bad block 2) place replacement disk 0 (imaged) and replacement disk 1 (empty) in raid array and force a...

    raid5 issue (2 disks died, don't want to lose all data)

    I have 5 drives. 3 are completely fine. 2 have problems. RAID-5 needs 4 disks. With 1 disk with one bad block that is reimaged to a good disk, I'm looking at worst at N*stripe width of corrupted data (assuming each disk eventually gets rebuilt with corrupted data), though more likely just...

    raid5 issue (2 disks died, don't want to lose all data)

    I did. read my original post. I have a ddrescue made image of both drives where it so far has only bee unable to read 1 512byte block on each. I wont attempt to rebuild the disk before I dd that image to a new replacement disk.
