Great Thread! I am also debating the ASRock Z77 Extreme4-M vs the Gigabyte Z77MX-D3H... And I think you just talked me into this combo. Patrick AKA Pierre

I did find this rather recent post (Sept 2010) on another Forum: I have a new laptop with Windows7. I was using a few WD Passport drives for transferring files back and forth, and they were working fine. I then moved all the files off one of the drives and decided to format it with the Win7...

I am doing fine with the Image creation using Win7 using one of the ESATA HD Docks - Backup Storage – Inexpensive, Expandable, Portable, and Flexible! I am not going to that size however... The USB drive had GPT set on it, right? Part of the issue with such huge drives in the Home...

If you are going Win7 on the box you can always image the drive and create the restore CD from the Win7 Backup and Restore menu... If the intent is to create a BU for 'just in case' the image is good to go, and built into the OS. If you like to *whack* and reinstall for 'ultimate drive...

Drive locked? If they were part of an array the partition would be 'foreign' to your system, and you would need the whole set of drives on the right controller with the right driver installed to see the 'storage partition' - Know what I mean? You try whacking them with DBAN? That should...

What do you have to lose??? I say give it a shot - You WILL learn something from it!!! There is an outside chance a dead short in the existing failed drive will brick your PCB transplant.... but I would say it should be a rare situation. Go For It, and then tell us what you learned!!! :)

Just an FYI for this thread... RichCopy is GUI based, and Robocopy comes in a GUI based form now. I have RichCopy scheduled to copy server data to a RAID1 workstation that uses Mozy Online Backup to pull the data off site. Easy batch file, set it up as a scheduled task, and it runs like...

Check out RoboCopy - You can get it as command line only , or with a GUI interface on it. While searching for Robocopy for download, I also found RichCopy which is reportedly a MultiThreaded Robocopy... I have used RoboCopy extensively over the years for all sorts of copy needs - copy jobs...

If the array is not vital, or in production, then try recreating the issue with a smaller array - 3 drives would work. If you do get the issue once again with the original set of drives, pickup 3 replacement drives, and see if you can reproduce the issue with the replacement drives. You...

I am suffering the same thing - on a new Gigabyte GA-MA78GPM-DS2H (fried the bios on the GA-MA78GM-S2H, but Gigabyte may RMA it!!! Cool) and it says 64 bit on boot, CPU-Z reports: Channels# Dual DC Mode Unganged (this changes to 128Bit when Ganged) NB Freq 1807.8 This is when DRAM Freq...

ferrisnox - Good to hear the flash worked for you! I just bricked my GA-MA78GM-S2H board last night!!! @BIOS fired off a bunch of errors, and the system now BEEPS really cool on power up, but no boot... haven't had that happen in 8 or 9 years! I have a good idea of what Gigabyte Tech Supp...

With 4Gb of ram yer looking at more like $300... just bought this setup... Closer to $200 with 2Gb of ram, but still over $200... HTH Edit - I am a yutz - I picked up the 5400 BE, not a 5000... still over $200 with 4Gb of ram... but much closer to .$200. My Bad...

I am suffering similar woes... Bookmarked for easy retrieval.

Wonder if you will be able to play copy protected media - DVD's, Audio CD's that are copy protected. Read the other day that these features will only be available in the 64bit... then again, as I recollect, it may be the HD versions of these types of media with the copy protection on them...

SOLVED Thanks for the effort.... Bottom line is... the 1394 front panel header WILL NOT produce sound through the front speaker jacks ... no matter what you do. HOWEVER - When you use the AUDIO connector it works perfectly! {sheepish grin} Double check those header blocks...
