have to pick on you.....by the way you ever mess with norton ghosts or drive image?

 

[Speed4Ever]

I have on occasion. Why?

 

[ZipTriX]

I have both but don't know how to work them

I know it should be self explanatory, but it's not.

Drive Image gave me some error when I opened with Image explorer. I have no idea about ghost. i'm sick of reformatting and reinstalling

 

[Speed4Ever]

Which version of the apps do you have. Are they the XP compatible versions?

I didnt know Drive Image was compatible with XP, but I could be working on old news here.

 

[ZipTriX]

drive image 5 and ghost that came with systemworks.

Try here, as I'm not exactly sure what you want to do, and this could probably give you a better idea of what to do than I could, and take less time.

I havent ran Disk Image since the days of Win98 , so I'm not going to go there.

Got any question that the site cant answer, post abck, and I'll do what I can.

Later.

Well, to answer your question, I'd need to know what your wanting to achieve. For striping, this may achieve a speed boost, but it isnt fault-tolerant, and information on both disks is ruined if theres a serious error, or if the one of the drives fail. I'm not sure if you can stripe with a System volume on one of the disks. You would normally stripe if you have 3 or more disks. IMO, unless you have specific reasons, I would stay away from RAID-1.

I have 2 40 gig drives that I use with a Promise ATA 100 PCI IDE controller, Non-RAID, and that seems to work for me just fine.

I would *Definitely Not* put both HDs on the same cable. Same goes for sharing one of them with a CD-ROM. I would grab a PCI IDE controller for that.

When two devices share the same cable, they both cannot be accessed at the same time, creating a significant performance problem.

Hope this helps.

ok thanks...I'll stick with hightpoint ata100 until I get my server I habe both HDs and both cdroms on seperate cables

 

[Speed4Ever]

Cool, thats what I recommend.

BTW, what Highpoint do you have? Just curious, it might help me in another thread.

 

[Speed4Ever]

DOH!

What I meant to say is, is it a PCI IDE controller, or integrated into the MB?

 

[noah472]

Thise tutorials on ghost are not exactly clear, or at least not to me, would be interested aswell to find out what the score with it is....

 

[Speed4Ever]

What are you having a question on?

I've only used ghost a couple of times, so I'm not exactly an authority on the matter, but will do what I can.
