    Highpoint RocketRAID 2320 issues...

    Well, I've been dealing with Highpoint support, and they sent me a diagnostic utility. That took a few hours to run, testing the drives, communication between drives and card, and the card itself. Only one component came back with a fail on its test. That was the EEPROM test. When I do an...

    Highpoint RocketRAID 2320 issues...

    Thanks for the input and your method. I seriously think my card is not functioning correctly (or my x16 slot doesn't like x4 devices, which is less likely considering I've tried the card in another mobo x16 slot with the exact same issue). I've been talking with Highpoint support, and am running...

    Highpoint RocketRAID 2320 issues...

    Well, the array has (supposedly) been initializing for 13 hours, but I still have the issue of the WebGUI timing out and not letting me back in. Occasionally I can get in to see the array configuration page, but it says 0% initialized. Also, shouldn't I hear a lot of activity coming from the...

    Highpoint RocketRAID 2320 issues...

    I have "Initialized" the individual drives in the HP BIOS. Does that count as formatting (as you said), or do I actually have to plug the drives into the mobo and format with a filesystem? I was under the assumption that the card just creates an array that appears as another disk that I can...

    new maxtor 320gb not showing up

    Well, that's a longer explanation than I care to type, but to make a long story short, hard drives are base 1000 while GB (as you know them) are base 1024. I have 2 320GB and I only see 598. It's just how it is.

    new maxtor 320gb not showing up

    Odds are that you just haven't formatted the drive. Right click on My Computer, then click on Manage. Go to the Disk Management pane. You should see your disk and you can right click on the space and create a partition and filesystem. If you need further help, just ask. Hope this helps.

    Highpoint RocketRAID 2320 issues...

    Thanks for the quick reply. Firstly, yes, I'm running the card in my x16 slot... Is that a problem. Otherwise, I have tried with background and foreground initialization, both of which freeze the GUI. I haven't tried the WebUI though. I did find an interesting thing to possibly note though...

    Highpoint RocketRAID 2320 issues...

    I have just put together an 2TB fileserver, with 5x500GB Western Digital drives in RAID5. I am using an 80GB HD for OS (Windows Server 2003). When I try to setup any kind of RAID array (be it from the card BIOS or Windows GUI) it fails to successfully create the array. If any array is declared...

    P5B Deluxe OCing

    I am overclocking my rig (see sig) and I seem to have hit a wall. I am stable at 410 FSB with RAM at 820, but if I push any further I am unstable. I have recently found that one of my DIMMs is crap. It is what's holding me back. With the other DIMM, I can get up to 430-ish FSB stable. The...

    P5B Deluxe :: Hot NB

    Okay. I'm now running 410 FSB (3.28Ghz) 40 minutes Orthos stable with memory at DDR2-820 4-5-4-15. When I tried to go to 425 FSB, I got BSOD on Windows boot. I have my NB voltage set manually at lowest possible, as well as memory and CPU set to stock voltages. My VCORE is set at 1.35, but BIOS...

    P5B Deluxe :: Hot NB

    I don't think that's the issue, because it only errors (memory) when the NB is hot. I doubt tossing more voltage at the problem will fix this heat issue... No offense. Wow. Odd that I never came across this before, but I'll take your word for it. I am running the newest BIOS if that matters...

    P5B Deluxe :: Hot NB

    Okay... Here's the problem. I have my new-ish rig and I am starting to overclock it. You can see the setup in my sig, but basically it's E6400 on P5B Deluxe, with OCZ Platinum DDR2-800 RAM. At stock speeds, the system is Orthos stable for several hours, but when I bumped it up to 400 FSB...

    5.25" LCD mod - Suggestions?

    I am thinking about modding in a small LCD screen into 2 5.25" drivebays. That would give me 3.5" of height, which is the limiting factor for standard LCDs. First of all, where is the best place to buy small LCDs? (I live in Canada, so keep in mind customs and the such if it's from the US) I...

    New build - Suggestions?

    Well, thanks for the suggestion Rockjay420, but as it turns out that RAM is $309 CAD, and the RAM I chose is only $267.99 (after $32 MIR). So the Platinum is still $9 cheaper before rebate. I did however check price matching on the RAM you said, and I found the PC2-5400 version for $256. So...
