eetaylog Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 (edited) The last couple of days, whenever i boot up my server, the boot always seems to CHDSK my RAID array that ive got installed (goes to bluescreen and then performs the 3 stage CHKDSK). It always checks out fine, but its annoying because it now takes twice as long to boot up. Its currently running a basic AMD sempron CPU, 1Gb RAM, Gigabyte mobo, 80Gb system HDD & 2Tb (4x500Gb) RAID0 array using a software based PCI card, and it gets woken on LAN when needed by any of the other pc's in the house. Ideas anyone? could it be a disk in my RAID array on its way out? Edited January 27, 2009 by eetaylog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stoo2000 Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 It's marked as dirty, have you tried runningchkdsk X: /R see if that comes back with any errors, the other way to remove the check from that particular drive is: chkntfs /X X: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stoo2000 Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 Yeah, depending what OS you are using you will need to run that as administator too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XP. im definately wondering whether its a disk issue though as the films ive got stored on the raid array have started to stutter occasionally when waking on LAN. like a d*** head i set it up as RAID0 as well, so no recovering from disk death-age Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stoo2000 Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 The command line option is the same error checking utility, but use the /R argument it checks a few extra things out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gadge Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 Sounds more like a operating system issue I would think. Are the drives making any sort of noise like grinding or scratching? that's usually when you know there on the way out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are the drives making any sort of noise like grinding or scratching? that's usually when you know there on the way out. dont think its the OS. i sledgehammered it by reinstalling XP but still no cigar. The drives sound fine, but like i said, it does stutter when streaming video. could be the RAID card i suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
