I have a hardware RAID - ACS7630, from Accusys. There are 3 drive bays for 3 hard disks, and that piece of hardware will configure them as RAID 5. The hardware is connected to the motherboard through a normal IDE cable and power is supplied by a normal power cable. To the BIOS or OS, that hardware RAID is identified as just a single hard disk. OS is installed on another hard disk. Let's label them as : HD-OS : Hard disk containing the OS HD-R5 : The 3 Hard disks in the hardware RAID that is identified as a single hard disk I have a few scenarios which I had tested, and before these were tested, (NTFS)HD-OS already has WinXP Pro running, and (NTFS)HD-R5 already contains a lot of data which I have been reading from and writing to for months. Scenario A Format HD-OS Install WinXP Pro Open Explorer, couldn't display HD-R5 drive letter (is just a single drive letter) Start Disk Management Service; it's there but status is "Unallocated". Conclusion: I cannot read the data from my HD-R5. Scenario B After Scenario A, format HD-R5 as NTFS. Copy backup data back to HD-R5. (Can read/write at this point) Image HD-OS to ImageFileA. (using cloning tools) Reboot and image ImageFileA back to HD-OS. Conclusion: I can read the data from my HD-R5 still. Scenario C After Scenario B, format HD-OS. Install WinXP Pro. Open Explorer, couldn't display HD-R5 drive letter (is just a single drive letter) Start Disk Management Service; it's there but status is "Unallocated". Reboot and image ImageFileA back to HD-OS. Open Explorer, couldn't display HD-R5 drive letter (is just a single drive letter) Conclusion: I cannot read the data from my HD-R5. From Scenario B and C, I am showing that with the same ImageFileA, I get different results. I need to know why I am experiencing such a problem. Not able to read the data from HD-R5 in this way defeat the purpose of having such a RAID system. Please NOW, in Microsoft Windows XP section, use [TAGS] in your topic's title. See rules. --Sonic

Hey guys, I got a really weird problem, I ask the computer to run "RUNONCE.CMD" at [GUIRUNONCE] and as expected, the computer runs the file "RUNONCE.CMD" during the 1st logon as administrator after installation. Then the problem comes in. All the codes in "RUNONCE.CMD" was executed until the part CMDOW @ /HID REG ADD codes A... REG ADD codes B... rundll32.exe iernonce.dll,RunOnceExProcess REG ADD codes C... REG ADD codes D... Codes C and Codes D will not be executed at all.. is it because windows will not execute anything after command "rundll32.exe iernonce.dll,RunOnceExProcess"? However i try to run this file again when i have loaded windows completely and it works... i'm really kinda freak out, can anyone help?

the file is in System32 directory and regarding that localization problem, my regionalsettings is as follows, will it affect? [RegionalSettings] LanguageGroup=1,10,9 InputLocale=0804:e00e0804 SystemLocale=00000804

Hey guys, how come when i run CMDOW @ /HID at a batch file in GUIRUNONCE, it will produce an error Error: The specified window was not found. Batch File sample: CMDOW @ /HID cmd #1... cmd #2... cmd #3... i try it everywhere and it works but only when it runs GUIRUNONCE, then it fails, can help?

I realise that this SetEnv.exe does not update the changes immedately although the net say it does so. What i have done is: 1) Write a batch file maybe AddPath.bat which has the following content D:\Setenv.exe -m path C:\TestDir 2) Add the batch file into RunOnceEx entry. 3) Log off and back on to allow RunOnceEx to execute (I understand there is a rundll32 method) 4) I confirm that the batch file is run (use pause to check) However, when i was in windows and i went to CMD.EXE and type PATH, the path content is still the previous value! I check the registry and environment variables in Control Panel->System->Advanced->Environments Variables and they have been updated but the command window have not. Why is it so? I need the system to understand that PATH have been updated else my other applications in the batch file during RunOnceEx will fails... Is there any method? Please Help, Thanks!
