FastTrak TX4000 User Manual
Unable to partition or format array
There are two possible causes:
•The FastTrak TX4000 controller is the bootable device but the array is not set to be bootable.
•The Reserve Sector of one of the drives has become corrupt or bad.
If the FastTrak TX4000 controller is the bootable device, make sure that the array is set to be bootable:
1.During boot up, press
2.Choose option 3, Define Array.
3.Press the ↑ Up ↓ Down keys to highlight the array that you want to boot from.
4.Press the Spacebar to select.
An * asterisk will appear next to the array number indicating it as bootable. The system will now recognize this array as the first array seen. The system will then use this bootable array as the (fixed) boot C: drive.
The Reserve Sector of one of the drives has become corrupt or bad. Removing the Reserve Sector will remedy any issue related directly to a Bad Reserve Sector.
Warning
Before removing the Reserve Sector of the drive(s), backup any existing data. Removal of the reserve sector of any drive permanently deletes all existing data on the hard drive.
For Mirrored arrays (RAID 1), remove the Reserve Sector from the mirrored drive first (this will appear during Step 3 below) then rebuild the mirrored array. Remove the Sector on the Master Drive only as a last resort.
For Striped arrays (RAID 0), removing the Reserve Sector from any of the drives that are striped will destroy the arrayed data.
