Thanks for the suggestion. Do I need to have the RAID drivers handy for a reboot after resizing?

Well, the array doesn't depend on an add-in card like RocketRAID so I guess it's software. When I first installed windows I hit F6 for the RAID drivers and set up the array with the partitions.

Two 75 Gig Raptors in RAID 0. Windows service pack 2. The Windows (C) partition is too small at 25 Gig, so would like to resize because there is no more room for updates, patches and so forth. And although I haven't decided on Service Pack 3 there is no room for it anyway. I'm just concerned...

Wondering if anyone has used Partition Magic on a RAID 0 set up. I made the original C partition too small and am seriously up against the wall. The manual seems to say that RAID 0 is supported but the Read Me file seems to say otherwise. I'm askeered to use the program for fear it will hose the...

Yup! Took out one stick, powered down and then rebooted. Powered down and moved the stick to yellow, so both dimms are in the yellow sockets. Rebooted with no trouble and now I'm in dual channel. Thanks all.

Thanks for the suggestions. Can't see the numbers on the dimm slots with all the stuff installed on the board but I think it makes sense to to reboot between moving the sticks around. I think I'll try the yellow slots this time. Also I need to remind myself to turn off the power supply and leave...

Just changed my motherboard because my Asus died. Using the Foxconn NF4UK8AA and it shows the full 2Gig of RAM but I think it's in single mode. The POST screens scoot by pretty quick. There are 2 blue slots and two yellow slots. I have one stick in the first (right hand) blue slot and one stick...

Visiting relatives over the weekend, got a new PSU. Didn't realize until I got it home (300 miles) that it wasn't fully sleeved. Aarghh! Then of course endured an hour or so of head scratching after I installed it because the system wouldn't boot. Helps to plug in the extra 12 volt connector on...

It has one fan on the front of the unit, which is working, and one at the back on the rear of the case which is not. No problems right now because I only have the rig on when I'm copying something from it but I suppose I will have to go shopping and spring for a new one...ugh.

Update. Got the board from NewEgg and finally got everything installed and plugged in. Success! Had to repair the Windows installation but no big deal there, since I had the OS and the programs and other files on a separate partition. The Foxconn is a very simple, nicely laid out board and...

I guess in dog years that ASUS board is 14-21 years old. Looked on NewEgg and ordered a Foxconn with the 939 socket. So at least if I can't resurrect the RAID stripe I won't have to spend any more money on a processor or RAM. Of course I'm ASS-uming those things aren't toast as well. I don't...

Anyway....Based on what I've unplugged and replugged, the motherboard is toast. I would really like to build a new system but can't really afford it right now so I'm just going to grab a cheap socket 939 mobo and put Humpty Dumpty back together again. Hoping I don't have any issues with the new...

I'll look into Biosman, thanks. I do agree that things don't look good. I tried to get into the BIOS this morning. No joy. Hoping the board isn't fried. We'll see.

Yeah RAID is enabled. I think I may see about getting a replacement chip from Asus. Thanks again for all your suggestions.

Popped the CMOC battery and got into BIOS. It just refers to "Removable" in boot order, doesn't specify floppy so I think USB should work. I do have an external USB drive that I use for back-ups. And if I had backed up before...never mind. Meantime, after resetting all the BIOS parameters I...
