Bloody hell T_M thats rough , I hope you can fix and redo those scores again, I also understand why you are using the raid array but when you save screenshots are they being automatically saved onto your backup drive ??

[T_M]

can that be done without resources?

By T_M

can that be done without resources?

Of course , I usually do the torture , then open irfanView

Are you using irfanView ?, if so when you start it press "C" and it will give you an option of whole screen or just foremost open app that is active and an option of where you want to store it and at what properties/resolution

eva has a guide that is very helpful here somewhere

?
You've lost me sorry.
Arent you talking about me saving a capture not only to my RAID array, but it automatically also backing up to a data drive?
I use Paint btw...

edit: Just found the culprit for my SATA probs.... corrupt BIOS. Retrieving data and backing up as we speak

[eva2000]

how ya find out it was a corrupt bios ? the bios checksum message ? ya need one of these babies http://i4memory.com/f53/dfi-bios-chips-753-post12419/#post12419

nope.
when i was testing to begin with i had a SATA drive on a port, and a PATA on IDE.
I tested each SATA port to see if BIOS found it, no go at all.
Later, i noticed that when i had only the PATA plugged in (when starting a PATA OS install) i got a weird boot up message about some change to boot and i needed to enter setup.
THought nothing more of it until i had a brain wave and maybe that error message was something about the BIOS being cnfused, and sure enough just plugged in a SATA (after spending all afternooon installing OS's onto PATA) to find it works on every port.

Just have it saving to your data /PATA drive

Paint is piss poor IMHO but does the job but for screen capture use irfanView

I use PSP9. that sucks, that damn nvasatabus BSOD is a ****er, I'll try making a 2003 install on my 40GB for PI, some other time. Then I can just unplug my 200GB with all my stuff on it.
