UNIX provides a standard utility called Sync,
which can be used to direct the operating system to flush all file
system data to disk in order to insure that it is stable and won't be
lost in case of a system failure. Otherwise, any modified data present
in the cache would be lost. Here is an equivalent that I wrote, called
Sync, that works on all versions of Windows. Use it whenever you want to
know that modified file data is safely stored on your hard drives.
Unfortunately, Sync requires administrative privileges to run. This
version also lets you flush removable drives such as ZIP drives. Using Sync Usage: sync [-r] [-e] [drive letter list]
-r
Flush removable drives.
-e
Ejects removable drives.
Specifying specific drives (e.g. "c e") will result in Sync only flushing those drives.
The 100mb of repair
tools quite useful lately when the host drive's installation ran into a
problem where Windows would stall at the logo screen. The automatic
startup repair tool came to life on it's own plus the option to restore a
system image created.
Note when originally partitioning the drive using GParted the separate
100mb section was never created. Instead the repair tools were somehow
packed into the solid C primary. When partitioning the drive using the
Windows drive tools during the installation however you see the 100mb
section created.
Apparently using a 3rd party partitioning program is another option if
you do not want the 100mb section created from the start. The image here
shows hows the host drive looks in the DM without the 100mb being seen.
Having the repair tools already on the drive however can eliminate the
need for the Seven dvd when a problem comes up. Just something to pass along
here.
When you are first installing 7 on a new drive or one previously wiped
no longer seeing a primary you would be using the MS drive tools options
found on the dvd there. You will also note the 1-8mb of unallocated
drive space for changing between the Basic type of volume used mainly on
desktops or the Dynamic for server geared.
The MS drive tools also prepare the 100mb reserved as part of the
installation for 7 to include the repair tools. When the drive is
already seeing an active primary as you are pointing to the installer
still places the repair tools tucked away at the beginning of the
existing primary eliminating the need for the separate 100mb section.
I had initially been wondering if the repair tools wouldn't be available
until seeing the startup repair come up while trying to debug a sudden
hardware or lack of hardware detection problem. Suddenly no internet, no
tuner card available, and the sound went out?
When interrupting a restore point the startup repair tool suddenly
stepped in showing that the Windows installer still sucessfully placed
them on the drive without the need for the 100mb taken away. The concern
when removing the 100mb section when not having a 7 dvd would be the
need to burn a repair cd with 7 fortunately now seeing that option
included!
The 3 cards were simply removed and reseated to suddenly hear ping,
ping, ping "you must restart to see the changes put into effect"! when
the system was started afterwards. Windows 7 again solved it's own
dilemna with the fresh detection as well as seeing the repair tools
onhand having used a 3rd party drive tool.
For those who want to reclaim the 100mb of drive space be sure to burn a
repair cd to have onhand since that can also save on handling the 7 dvd
itself as well as for those not having one in the case of 7 being
preinstalled. For those about to install 7 on a bare drive and want to
avoid the 100mb being taken then the use of a 3rd party drive tool is
something to consider as well. --Night Hawk
Anyway: System Reserved Partition - Delete 1.Boot from your installation or repair disc.
2.When you get to the language screen, press Shift+F10.
3.Enter diskpart list disk

4.Enter select disk {Windows disk number}
5.Enter list partition select partition {100MB partition number}
6.Enter delete partition override
7. Enter select partition {Windows partition from step 5} active
8. Close the command prompt.
We
have deleted the partition, and Windows will be unable to boot at this
point. Now it is time to write a new boot loader and BCD to the Windows
partition.
-----------------------------------Q. But wouldn't bootrec /fixmbras step 7A write out a new boot record and eliminate the need for step 9?
A. Possibly, but that wouldn't rebuild the BCD.
Of course, you could also run bootrec /rebuildbcd
but I trust startup repair more. Bootrec command is the fastest way to get rid of GRUB's multiple boot menu when you want to
unload Ubuntu - just rebuilt the MBR and then went in under Windows 7
and deleted the partitions. ----------------------------------- 9. Follow the instructions in Brink's tutorial for Running a startup repair.
2. Select the Startup Repair option. (See screenshot below)
3. Startup Repair will now scan your computer to attempt to find and fix any startup problems. (See screenshot below) NOTE:
Startup Repair might prompt you to make choices as it tries to fix the
problem, and if necessary, it might restart your computer as it makes
repairs. If repairs are not successful, you'll see a summary of the
problem and links to contact information for support. Your computer
manufacturer might include additional assistance information.
4. If problems cannot be found, then click on Next. (See screenshot below) NOTE:You can click on the View diagnostic and repair details link to see a detailed summary of what Startup Repair has done.

======================================
You will need to extend your C partition to include that space. The
Windows Disk Management tool cannot extend space to the left of the
volume, so you'll need to use a third-party tool. I recommend Partition

Using Partition Wizard, right-click on the C partition, and select Move/resize. Then drag the edge of the box to the left, to include that unallocated space.
When you're done, be sure to select Apply actions.

O. Saucedo's hardware:
Asus M5A88-M
AMD FX1600 X6
4GB DDR3
2 Maxtor 500GB SATA as RAID1
1 Seagate 500 GB SATA as provisional DATA drive
1 DVD SATA drive 64bit AMD RAID drivers not recognised
The Win7 RC x64 ("clean") install setup process does recognise all drivers offered via diskette, USB-stick or CD-ROM if you un-tick the box "search for signed drivers only" on the 3rd-party driver installation selection page.
After that, it displays and loads the drivers of your choice - eg Vista
x64 AHCI/RAID (AMD) drivers and resumes the installation process.
However, at 1st reboot in AHCI mode it stops with an error message indicatng that it couldn't load "unsigned drivers" . This happens with the latest ASUS and AMD/ATI x64 drivers - they're
obviously "unsigend" to Win7 x64, but work flawlessly with Vista x86 and
x64.
In due course, the only way to go is to install Win7 RC x64 in IDE mode - no AHCI, no RAID.
There might be a slim chance to get AHCI / RAID up and running by
activating Microsoft's generic Msahci driver subsequently (after IDE
install) via registry tweak and then boot in AHCI mode, but I haven't
tried this yet. My hardware: ASUS M3A 78 Pro AMD Phenom x4 8850 BE 3.0 GHz 4 GB RAM (DDR-2 800 MHz CL5) 4 SATA HDD's (single drives, no RAID) 2 SATA optical drives (DVD ROM/RAM) ASUS/ATI EAH3450 Graphics Onboard Graphics enabled with "Hybrid Crossfire"
It is a pity that there are not even Win7 OEM mobo maker drivers
available yet for the AMD SB/NB chipset integrated storage controllers.
That's very basic / essential stuff!
I didn't expect to run into
any such show-stoppers with Win7 RC x64, decided to use it from now on
and then buy the "Ultimate" version immediately upon availability, but
under said prohibitive circumstances this isn't a good idea.
I
might give it another try during the next two weeks - if there's no
driver support improvement by then I'll stick with Vista x86 and wait
another year until there are more mature / versatile LINUX versions
available out there.
thanks for this info. You're lucky to have Gigabyte XP x64 chipset drivers which are OK for Win7 RC. Unfortunately, the equivalent ASUS
XP x64 drivers are not - they're exactly the same as the Vista x64
drivers (!), 100% identical and "unsigend", and there are no
Win7-compatible AMD/ATI "generic" chipset (AHCI/RAID) drivers available
yet.
Definitely not Microsoft's fault but a grieveous nuisance anyway.
Source
The SB950 chipset was released in 2011, so is unlikey to be included in the core win7 release
AHCI chipset drivers were released far earlier
You might get further adivce re the SB950 chipset / raid driver and
the apparent 'unsigned issue' if you were to post to MSDN Technet
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en/category/w7itpro
Personally I wouldnt recommend using either AHCI raid or the
motherboard chipset AMD RAID drivers, from experience I have seen to
many problems caused when using software raid, from raid going out of
sync, to in the worst case loss of data. I've seen this
happen with various motherboards.
If you want to use raid buy a dedicated hardware RAID card, a decent one will cost some $350

When Windows is asking for driver,
just click Cancel. You will be brought back to the welcome screen. At
the welcome screen, remove your USB drive, insert it back to DIFFERENT
USB PORT. Click Install Now again. The installation process will be like
usual.
This problem happened to all new version of updated Windows 7 installer.
I think, it is due to failure of Windows installer to remain its
detection to the USB drive. It lost the connection, and became confused,
don't know where to find the USB drive it used to read before.
When we re-insert the USB drive, Windows installer will detect the USB drive back, and continue like usual. Windows 7 cannot install 64 bit AMD RAID driver
Some skill is necessary since it is a bit complicated. The component to
make this work is an extra harddrive not essential to setting up the
RAID array. I assume that you have a bootable Windows 7 x64 install, if
not, do a fresh install to a single harddrive and follow these
instructions:
1. Install the Windows 7 x64 RAID driver for your motherboard and re-boot.
2. Install the harddrives to be used for the RAID array.
3. Set the desired RAID array (0/1/5/10) up in your BIOS.
4. Boot into Windows 7 x64, making sure the RAID array is recognised.
5. Clone the bootable Windows 7 x64 harddrive to the RAID array.
6. Re-boot making sure you select the RAID array as boot device.
7. You now should have a bootable Windows 7 x64 RAID (0/1/5/10) array.
8. Add the original hard-drive to the RAID array if desired.
9. Enjoy
The problem with doing a fresh install of Windows 7 x64 to a RAID
array is the driver signing required by Microsoft for the x64 RAID
driver install. This is not present for the x86 RAID driver install,
which can be done with ease. The Windows 7 x64 driver can be installed
without a problem once Windows 7 x64 have been installed to a single
hard-drive. Now you just have to clone this bootable hard-drive to the
RAID array! Hope this helps. Source
On boot windows complains that the Bchtsq64.sys file does not have a
valid driver signiture (although it was the one on the disk) and the
only way i could install and boot into Windows 7, is to hit F8 and
dissable the driver signiture on boot option, i have scanned the forums
and found that this seems to be a common problem with MS 64bit OS and
AMD boxes, most of the forums suggested a bios update, which i have done
or downloading a newer version of that file and replacing it, whic
hbrings me on to the other annoying issue, i know where that file is
stored and where to copy it to, but for some reason, not even the local
administrator has access to the folders under system32, which stops me
replacing the file and seeing if the box will boot, i know there is a
repair function on boot, but that does not detect my SATA disk
controller and i need to use drivers off a usb stick before i can see my
disk. Source I belive the MB you mentioned is M4A78T-E. The latest RAID Controller driver of this MB is released on 2009/07/22. Try to download install this RAID Controller driver for windows 7 64bit from the Asus website:
All disks are connected through the SATA interface ('SATA Operation Mode' is set to 'SATA' in BIOS).
System is running perfectly...
What I wanted tot do:
Contunue to use W7 on my
system disk (so no new W7 install) and make Disk1 and Disk2 a RAID1
Logical Disk and use this under W7 as secure data-storage.
What I did:
I change in BIOS the 'SATA
Operation Mode' from 'SATA' to 'RAID'; restart te system; use the 'AMD
Onboard RAID FastBuid Utility' to configure Disk1 and Disk2 in RAID1
Logical Disk and reboot the system.
Then Windows 7 fails to boot;
is stops during the display of the 'Windows Logo'. Rebooting with a W7
Repair disk works (the system boots up from the DVD) but installing RAID
drivers won't work (after a minute of starting
the install function an error message is displayed "driver install
failed")
Maybe I'm looking at the wrong drivers or maybe there is something else I've missed...
If you use a AsRock MoBo, look for the XfastUSB.exe utility and install it --cebaehreen Source Howto: Fix Slow USB 2.0 file transfer on Windows XP
USB storage devices can be optimized for either quick removal or
performance. If optimized for quick removal, data transfer can
potentially be reduced to a crawl.
To optimize your USB drive for performance:
Right click on the USB drive and select properties
Select the Hardware tab
Under All Disk Drives, highlight your USB drive and select Properties
Select the Policies tab and select Optimize for performance.
Press OK twice, and your transfer speeds should increase dramatically
Note that when your drive is optimized for performance you’ll need
to use the Safely Remove Hardware icon in the taskbar to eject the drive
– otherwise you’ll risk corrupting your data by just removing the drive
from the port.
Source What is USB 2.0?
Finalized in 2001, Universial Serial Bus (USB) 2.0 is a complete
overhaul of the Universal Serial Bus input/output bus protocol which
allows much higher speeds than the older USB 1.1 standard did. The goal
of the new serial bus is to broaden the range of external peripherals
that can be used on a computer. A hard drive can easily hit the USB 1.1
bottleneck whereas it now becomes more 'usable' under USB 2.0
conditions.
For those people who found us via search engines, USB 2.0 should neither be called 'USB2' nor 'USB 2'. What happened to USB 1.1?
USB 1.1 allowed a maximum transfer rate of 12Mbits/second. It is now obsolete, but both of its speeds (1.5Mbps & 12Mbps) are being adopted into USB 2.0, and they are now called Original USB officially. Though some manufacturers label their products Full-Speed USB. Note that this seems a bit deceptive as it's easy to mistake Full-Speed for Hi-Speed. You won't be fooled from now on as you now aware that Full Speed USB is only 12Mbits/second where Hi-Speed USB mode is capable of a much faster 480Mbits/second.
Traditionally, USB mice and keyboards only need 1.5Mbps to function; exceptions are gaming mice and keyboards that require 12Mbps. These higher-end gaming products send way more location feeds thru USB; hence, more bandwidth is required. Generally, the performance levels (1.5Mbps & 12Mbps) are grouped under 'Original USB' by the USB Promoter Group.
The logo shown on the right is authorized by the same organization to the vendors for use on their products should they passed the compliance tests. How do I know if my PC has USB 2.0?
You can identify whether your PC has Hi-Speed USB or not relatively easy. Open Device Manager and expand the Universal Serial Bus section. There should be an "Enhanced" USB host controller present.
Windows 98 systems may use a different name, because Hi-Speed USB drivers in these operating systems are not provided directly from Microsoft (Windows ME, 2000 and XP get their drivers through Windows Update).
These drivers are provided by the manufacturer, and may carry the maker's name (i.e. ADS, Belkin, IOGear, Siig, etc.). There should also be two "standard" version USB host controllers present as well. They are embedded in the USB chip which routes the differing USB speeds accordingly without user intervention.
There are currently 7 manufacturers of the Hi-Speed USB host silicon themselves:
ALi (Acer Labs)
Intel
NEC
SiS
VIA
nVidia (shows as "Standard" controller)
Philips
Any other brand name that appears in Device Manager would likely be an add-in Hi-Speed USB PCI card. The makers above do not make add-in cards, but they do make the chips that are used in them.
Q: Do you need USB 2.0? Q: How do I know I plug in a Hi-Speed USB device? Q: How does USB 2.0 handle today's applications? Q: How does USB 2.0 and 1.1 work together? Q: How does a USB hub slow down devices?
A USB hub has to re-calculate the time left before the next sof (end of
the uframe); the small extra delay added by the hardware hub could make
the transaction not handled as fast as a device directly connected to
the host. If several devices are connected on the USB hub
and working in parallel (for example, a webcam + a USB flash drive + a
mouse), then the USB bandwidth is shared among the devices usage.

Problems
with a raid are often very hard to fix for inexperienced users. There
are quite a few things that can go wrong when operating raids which
include hard disk failures or having to replace the raid controller
because of a dead motherboard or new computer system. Raid To Raid is a
very versatile software program that can be used for raid data recovery
and more. Its main purpose is to get the raid operational again after
switching to another raid controller.
The raid software can mount a
raid even if the motherboard chipset or raid controller has changed. It
is even possible to accommodate existing raids on computer systems that
do not offer a hardware based raid controller.
The
raid data recovery software supports raid arrays of the following
types: Raid 0 (JBod, Stripe), Raid 1 (Mirror), Raid 5 (data recovery
mode if single disk is missing or corrupt), Raid 10 (Raid 0+1) plus
software based raids and Windows dynamic discs (simple, span, strip,
mirror and raid 5). The raid software supports the fat, ntfs, ext2 file
systems plus classic and gpt partition styles introduced in Windows
Server 2008.
nVidia doesn't make chipsets anymore. I wonder if there are any newer
motherboards that are compatible with the old nForce chipsets. Source
Not easily; the metadata format stored in last sector on each HDD is
incompatible between brands. You should get the data off first and
backup it somewhere safe, then create a new array and copy it back.
If you made a RAID1 you can simply break the array and connect one of the disks to a non-raid controller.
If your motherboard broke or you don't want to connect to your old
motherboard, then you can access/read/recover the RAID using Ubuntu
Linux livecd. If you want to try that, simply download Ubuntu and boot
it up, having your disks connected to a non-RAID controller (i.e. set
controller type to AHCI or IDE not RAID in the system BIOS). Let me know
if you require more help on this.
------------------------
This is one of the disadvantages of onboard RAID. If the board breaks
you have to get another board with that chipset to read the data.
Try to find an old board with NV RAID or read and find out if any of the newer Nvidia chipset ones are backwards compatible. Source - For the Nforce4 array: Nvidia offical
tech support said that all new NVIDIA RAID controllers (both
NFORCE/GEFORCE) are backwards-compatible with legacy controllers like
the NFORCE4 Ultra, so in theory, a new one should "understand" the
RAID array coinfiguration metadata stored on the disks, and no
information would be lost. This is as long as the RAID BIOS version of
both old and new MB is 9.xx... http://www.overclockers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=671002 http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1635422 Source
The
problem with hardware RAID (Redundant Array of Inexpensive Disks) is
that a particular set of drives is intrinsically tied to the controller
that operates them. This means that when switching from one hardware
controller to another, you'll have to copy all of the data onto another
storage device, disconnect the drives from the old controller, plug them
into the new one and build an entirely new blank array on the new
controller. This is a lot of work, and it requires an amount of extra
storage equal to what the original array contained, as well as
reinstalling the operating system to support the new hardware.
Instructions
Backing up the Old Array
1Connect the external storage device(s) to the computer.
2Copy the contents of the old array onto the external
storage. This will probably take several hours, depending on the size
and the amount of data stored on the array.
3Turn off the computer once the file copy has been completed.
4Disconnect the RAID drives.
5Remove the old motherboard.
Creating the Blank Array
6Install the new motherboard into the machine. Make sure that all the necessary power and data connections have been attached.
7Connect the hard drives to the ports for the RAID
controller. Consult the motherboard manual for specifics, as these will
look like the same as any normal, non-RAID Serial ATA ports that the
motherboard may possess.
8Consult the motherboard for the key combination that will
start the RAID configuration BIOS program. Alt-F12 is a common one, but
this varies widely.
9Boot the computer, and when the RAID boot screen appears, press the key combination.
10Configure the RAID array.
Installing the Operating System and Restoring the Old Data
11Install the operating system in the typical manner.
12Install the drivers for the RAID controller that came with the motherboard.
13Attach the external storage device(s).
14Copy the data onto the new array.
Tips & Warnings
If your RAID
controller is not integrated onto the motherboard (i.e, it is an add-on
card), it may be possible to simply move the original array intact to
the new motherboard.
If your RAID array
is a simple mirror (RAID 1), it may be possible just to move one of the
old hard drives onto the new array and re-mirror it as appropriate.
Any data
on the old array that is not backed up will be permanently lost when you
configure the new array, so make sure that everything has been backed
up.

MacOs Plus, Este formato es compatible con todas las características
avanzadas que necesita el MacOs X como son los nombres de archivo
Unicode, los permisos Posix, los metadatos enriquecidos,…
MacOs Plus (con registro): Es el formato por defecto del Mac Os X.
Deriva del anterior pero además añade el registro de sistema de archivos
avanzado para mantener la integridad de la estructura de los volúmenes,
de modo que si ocurre un corte del suministro eléctrico o un problema
grave en el sistema, se podrá verificar la integridad del volumen
gracias a ese registro creado.
MacOs Plus (mayúsculas/minúsculas): El sistema diferencia entre
mayúsculas y minúsculas. Básicamente significa que reconocerá “Archivo” y
“archivo” como el mismo archivo y no como diferentes, que es lo que
ocurría antes. Sin embargo, esta opción es más conveniente para
volúmenes muy grandes al estilo de los utilizados para MacOs Server.
Sistema de archivo UNIX (UFS): Este tipo de formato ha dejado de ser
compatible como volumen de arranque con las versiones de Mac Os X 10.5
FAT32: Viene heredado de Windows y es utilizado en muchos periféricos.
Hay que avisar que MacOs X no puede iniciarse desde un volumen con este
formato, aunque la aplicación BootCamp es compatible con la ejecución de
Windows XP desde este tipo de volúmenes. También es reseñable que este
formato no permite manejar con comodidad archivos mayores a 4 GB de
tamaño.
NTFS: formato nativo de Windows XP y Vista. Como ocurre con el FAT32,
MacOs no puede arrancar desde él y la Utilidad de Discos no es
compatible con la creación de estos volúmenes. Bootcamp sin embargo es perfectamente compatible para ejecutar las anteriores versiones de Windows reseñadas.

Do a remote shutdown "shutdown /r /t 10 /m \\computername"
I have seen
this problem after patching here recently. and either I have to reboot
the machine at the console or I have to do the remote shutdown indicated
previously.
-------------------------------------------------
Do this: - ping the RD host by its IP address to ensure that it is correct.
- ping the RD host by its name to ensure that it can be resolved.
- run telnet to check if the RD port is open, e.g. telnet MyServer3389
How to Enable Remote Desktop Connection
------------------------------------------------
You are running wireshark on the 2003 server, yes? That will tell you that
the tcp packets are arriving on the interface you selected destined for port
3389 and their content, nothing more.
On the client it says unable to connect to RDP.
This indicates that RDP is either not running on the server, not listening
on tcp port 3389, not configured to accept connections from the client, or
that a firewall is blocking. You state that firewall is disabled, so that
narrows it to 3 potential causes.
Short of rebuilding the server are there any options or troubleshooting steps i should take?
If it's listening on port 3389 then you know that it's just not allowing
access to that client. If it's listening on a different port then you know
that piece of information as well. I use the following free application to
get familiar with my machine: fport /p FPort v2.0 - TCP/IP Process to Port Mapper

Despite SSH in its name, it is designed to work over any reliable data stream, but WinSCP supports only operation over SSH, which is also by far its most common usage.
Being operated over SSH, it is secure protocol. In its basic functionality it is similar to old FTP, while having better designed advanced functionality. Unfortunately not all SFTP server implementations take advantage of the advanced features, yet.
Especially in its later versions (from 4 upwards), it is more platform independent, compared to both FTP and SCP.
Unlike SCP, for connection with an SFTP server you do not need access to shell (although some implementations may still require that)
WinSCP is an open source free SFTP client, SCP client, FTPS client and FTP client
for Windows. Its main function is file transfer between a local and a
remote computer. Beyond this, WinSCP offers scripting and basic file
manager functionality.
Source You can remove print drivers that are not associated with a local printer or connection using the printui.exe tool in an admin elevated command prompt type printui /s /t2 ------------------------------------
OK, I have found the solution to this problem... the info above is correct as far as it goes, but in my case there was (a) no option to clear the print queue on two 'ghost' printers because they were disconnected and unavailable, so no option for the print queue was displayed, and (b) one was shared on the network and had a TCP/IP printer port assigned to it. Here's how I did it, step-by-step: 1. right-click on desktop, create a new shortcut with target as 'cmd.exe'. 2. right-click on the shortcut, "Run as Administrator" 3. Run the printui tool: printui /s /t2 4. Try deleting the printers.
If that doesn't work... 5. CLick Start > Run > Services.msc 6. Locate the Print Spooler service, and right-click > Properties > stop service. 7. Open My Computer and browse to c:\Windows\System32\spool\Printers (you will need to say "oK" to get access to the folder). 8. DELETE the contents of that folder. 9. Restart the Print Spooler service. 10. Go back into the printui utillity (might need to restart it using same method as above) and try removing printers again. This time it should work. If necessary, check the "Ports" tab and remove any TCP/IP ports that are associated with the old printer. 11. Last but not least, I checked other computers on my home network to see if any of those had mapped to the old printer, and I removed those mappings, as the date of spooled documents suggested it was printed to long after it was physically removed. Source A stuck print job in the queue will prevent the printer from being removed. Try runningDelete Print Jobs to remove the stuck print job.
Check if there are any listed under the print queue. If no documents are listed in the print queue for that printer, stop the print spooler service, delete the printer, restart the print spooler service. To do this, open an elevated cmd prompt: 1. Start Orb>Search box>type: cmd when cmd appears above, right-click it and choose "run as Administrator". 2. At the command prompt: net stop spooler [enter] 3. Go to the printers applet in Control Panel and delete the printer.
Then back in the command prompt, do: net start spooler [enter].
If this is a network printer, if you have any drivers installed for this printer, try to uninstall the drivers from the device Manager and try to delete the printer.
To delete a device with Device Manager:
1.Launch Device Manager Start, type devicemanager.msc.
2.In Device Manager's left panel, open the node that represents the type of device that you want to uninstall and then right-click the device entry (locate the key board).
3.On the shortcut menu, click Uninstall.
4.On the Confirm Device Removal dialog box, click OK to start the uninstall process.
5.When the uninstall process is complete, unplug the device.
6. under the actions, click on ‘Scan for Hardware Changes’ and reboot the computer.

Problems
with a raid are often very hard to fix for inexperienced users. There
are quite a few things that can go wrong when operating raids which
include hard disk failures or having to replace the raid controller
because of a dead motherboard or new computer system. Raid To Raid is a
very versatile software program that can be used for raid data recovery
and more. Its main purpose is to get the raid operational again after
switching to another raid controller.
