Well there ya go. It would seem to me that you have to format that disk from the disk utilities page. Then it will show up in the OS. Make sure that you format the right disk. SATA Port #1 (not #0). The RAID screen told you that the disk wouldn't show up in the OS unless it was...

So what happens when you reboot and type Ctrl+A when prompted? Does it take you to the RAID configuration screen? If so, can you post a picture of the screen that you get after to type Ctrl+A?

kustom.... I can hook you up!

Plain Photoshop CS3 (or CS4 soon) is usually fine for most sign shops... I have Photoshop CS3 Extended (as part of CS3 Design Premium Suite) and never use the "extended" capabilities. As far as I know, CS4 is still only preorder only, but should be released in the next couple weeks...

That's funny.... Macs have RAID too. Go into the BIOS and especially to the RAID portion of the BIOS. You may have to set each drive to RAID or non-RAID (even with SATA drives).

I really think that you should try and setup a single drive array in the RAID console. From the info that you have given us, it sounds like your best bet to me.

This is true... but it sounded to me like he already has Windows installed and running on a 40GB drive. I would assume if there were any SATA or RAID drivers to be loaded, they already would have been in order to get the 40GB up and running. Have you tried setting up a "striped" array with a...

Unless you are getting RAID errors during the boot process, everything should be working correctly. You should be able to see the RAID volume condition during the boot process as well.

You shouldn't have to make any changes in Windows, but some BIOS and /or RAID controllers may force you to create a "striped" volume in the RAID setup even though it is a single drive. I don't see it too often, but it may be a possibility. Also, since the drive is new, have you looked in "Disk...

Glad to help... thought that might be it. A bad video card can do some weird things...

You will use your EIN instead of the SSN when filling out the W-9. That way, your SSN doesn't have to be on the form.

Thank you for the kind words... I have been known to build a custom laptop for a few of my customers.

If you are going to go with a Dell, at least consider going with the "Precision" workstations... they are a "higher-quality" system that will give you less trouble in the long run. They are higher priced than the "Inspiron", but there is a reason. I also happen to know a great company who...

That is a new one for me... - Once you get into Safe Mode, can you run an anti-virus scan? - Is the text jumbled in the POST portion of the BIOS? - How about in Safe Mode, anything abnormal there? Before a clean install, I would probably attempt a "Repair" install and then a...

Keith, I would be happy to send you a few references if you would like. There are even a couple of folks that are members of Signs101 that I could put you in contact with. Give me a call Monday morning and we can talk.

Onyx has given us its "optimal" hardware recommendations and we have used them to design our SignBurst Inferno™ "RIP" system. Each RIP job can use a separate core. The more jobs that you RIP at once, the more cores you can use.

Please let me know if there is ever anything that I can do for you. I appreciate the kind words.

We just did a test of the most recent version of Onyx on one of 64 Bit systems (SuperNova) at a Mutoh Open House event. It was really impressive seeing how fast it tore through the RIP jobs. We do sell a 32 Bit, "RIP only" system (SignBurst Inferno™ "RIP" Edition). It really speeds up the...

After talking to one of the RIP companies, as I understand it, the RIP has to convert CMYK images to RGB in the RIP process before it prints anyhow. Even though the printer may print CMYK, the RIP doesn't necessarily work that way. I was told to design in RGB for anything that has to go...

Unfortunately, I don't see the scratch disk deal going away quite yet. We are seeing temp files over 400GB in some cases. I know that it isn't a 1-for-one exchange on the RAM/Scratch, but I tend to think we are still going to be using scratch disks for a while. BUT, with more RAM, we sure...
