If this update helps, how do I install it, and when?
#Completely clean disk diskpart how to#
Still, I don't know how to do this, and I don't want to mess everything up. I would like to apply this update if it somehow helps with the performance of the drives, because I have had problems with them before: one of them randomly fails, with a slight clicking noise, but recovers after a few system restarts without any problems. Or will this completely wipe the drives, deleting partitions and making the separate disks non-RAID? If so how do I set this up again, after wiping the drives? Will I need to perform any additional setup before attempting to install Windows again?Īlso, the Dell Support site lists a firmware update for my HHDD model under the SATA menu, but I read somewhere to NOT apply that update to a RAID drive. Will this just clean the volume, maintaining the partitions and the RAID 0 configuration? (there is also a Dell Startup Diagnostics partition)
I currently have 2 500GB Hard Drives arranged in a RAID 0 array through Intel Rapid Storage Technology (I believe this is called fakeRAID, but I really don't know much about this), making a single 1TB volume. I've read through Philip's tutorials (he solved my problem in the above thread) about a clean install of Windows 7, but I am concerned about how DiskPart> Clean All will affect my RAID 0 volume. Now I am left with a disk full of useless files, and I want to make a clean installation of windows, to make a fresh start. This is the thread where I explain and solve my problem:
Everything now works fine, and I was able to successfully recover and back up my files. This was done in an effort to not lose personal data. Recently I came across a problem with Windows 7 which was solved, as a temporary solution, by re-installing Windows without formatting.
