what does this mean please

[barnsta]

This must be why i am having problems, please see past thread http://www.wilderssecurity.com/showthread.php?t=127382. the hardrives are 200gb each.

i really would like to get this solved, maybe my hardrives are in a mess and need to be completely formatted using some other software, they were formatted last time i did a windows install using the long re-format.


thanks guys

looks like the bootcd doesn't have the drivers for your RAID Controller. You would be better off with the BartPE-PlugIn of the new build, since that would allow you to build a BartPE-CD ("live" windows) using the Windows-RAID-Drivers for your controller. Or you could try it with the bootcd of build 9.0.3567 if you haven't done that already.

thanks so much, i am a little confused sorry! Does the bart bootable cd replace the acronis one? If you have time, a step by step instruction would be great and really appreciated.

thanks so far :D

If you can access your drives via windows explorer then there's no need to reformat the drives.

Although it has nothing to do with your problem, you may want to consider converting your drives to NTFS. This is especially useful for the destination external drives on which you would save the backup files.

In My Computer, you can verify the free space, used space, capacity and file system, by right clicking on each drive and selecting Properties.
