The Solution Rating System
|
|
| With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating. - The Grade of the Solution
- The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
- The Number of Author and Expert Comments
- The Number of Experts Contributing
- The Feedback of the Community
Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site. If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support. Thank you! |

Asked by adamdrayer in Storage Technology, Backup & Restore Software, Computer Hard Drives
User has an XP home computer with a SATA Intel Matrix RAID0 setup (2 drives). One drive seems to be hiccupping, and we want to replace it. The drive still functions ok, but constantly have to mark the drive as normal. I don't see a way to transfer the data from the failing drive (Drive2) to the new drive, so I was trying to weigh my options.
1. I can try to clone the drive using a sector-by-sector imaging program, but I'm not sure that will work. The new drive is not the same model and is larger than the drive being replaced.
2. I can kill the raid, add the new drive, recreate a raid, and restore from a backup... in which case I am somewhat ashamed to say I don't know how to restore a full system backup of XP to a new drive.
Is there anything else I can do short of reinstalling everything? The system is working well, it's just that one drive keeps getting flagged as dirty once a week.
Thanks,
Adam Drayer
