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

I need help in silently installing Oracle Express Web Agent v6.3.1. It is basically an activeX component that prompt you to install it when you surf the website that requires it. A check on msfn forums doesn't reveals any solution. Please help! Thanks!

Hey guys, I try to install Microsoft Office 2003 SP1 at T-13 mark and it refused to install.. i try the exact command at GUIRUNONCE and it works.. I read some website and it says it's due to Office 2003 requiring advanced registry entries.. is there no way to install at mark T-13?

hey thanks! I try it out when i get back to my office on monday! Thanks dude!

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!

Thanks Dude!

Hey guys, anyone got SETENV.EXE? I search everywhere on the net and all the webpages give me this access ftp://barnyard.syr.edu/pub/vefatica/setenv.exe Unfortunately this website is down and there is no more link, can anyone post a link to this file? Thanks!

hey guys, i'm really desperate, can't find a solution for this at all...

actually guys i must really thanks you all, but i figure it out actually i use a single line of code ProcessWaitClose($command[1]); then i compile it into an exe file (ProcessWait.exe) which later on i call in the batch file to track the process name NCSETUP.EXE start /wait ProcessWait.exe NCSETUP.EXE that works perfectly for my case. Thanks a lot guys! You guys give me a bit of idea about scripting! hehz'

I try the USSF, it's quite sad... a couple of common program it can't detect like Adobe Photoshop 7.0 Alcohol 120% 1.9.2 Eudora 5.2 ICQ 2003b Partition Magic 8.0 so of not much use to me...

hey great thanks dude, i go try it out!

i do that -SMS thing for adobe photoshop 6.0 and it's works, but this one doesn't' cuz it's not a installshield installer. I bet you guys also never heard of it before UniCenter Remote Agent UniCenter Software Delivery UniCenter Asset Management they belong to CA (Computer Associates) company. I try asking them but they did not reply me. This program specially UniCenter Asset Management uses its own installer...

i'm a total newbie at scripts... how do i insert this code into cmdlines.txt? What tools do I need?

ya, i know sleep.exe, and i'm been avoiding it like a plague, cuz it's not accurate at all... i got very varying computer spec in the organization, some very slow, some very fast, if i use sleep, then i must set a different time for each comp' like 1000 for fast computer and 5000 for slow computer something like that, i prefer accurate measurement... is there anyway to do so?

We have always been using Start /wait application switches to install products which will wait until the product is done installing before moving on to the next instruction in the batch file. However, what if the application spawns another process out? The situation i'm experiencing is that the [start /wait] command will think that the process is done and move on to execute the next instruction. This means now there will be 2 processes at the same time, one from the process in the next instruction, and the another one from the spawn process. Is there any way to make the instruction such that the computer will wait until the process from the spawn is done before moving on to the next instruction?
