Hey guys,
Got called to have a look at my mate's "slow" computer and although it was quite slow (3 GB / Q6600!) the first thing I noticed was the near constant system tray messages he was getting – see below.
Seeing as though the problem drive of the raid is being reported, is it simply a case of replacing that drive? It's a dell machine with a raid0 (1x 500gb WD and 1x 500gb seagate interestingly) but he’s used no where near that much storage; owns a busy shop and has only used 25gb in 3 years, I was going to suggest going to raid1 and just getting him another 500gb to keep things the same?
What I need to know is, is will I be able to change the nvidia raid settings (pre-boot) to raid1 will the single Seagate drive and get things up and running and then add the new 500gb when it arrives?
Any thoughts?
