Storage Spaces Can't Add Drive To Pool - Incorrect Function

Jul 21, 2013

When adding an initial drive to a storage pool I get the error "incorrect function"

System: Proliant ML110 G4, Windows 8 64-Bit, 4GB Ram

I have a 160GB drive installed on the motherboard's controller which hosts the OS. I've installed a single 2TB drive on a 2 Port PCI Express Internal SATA II Controller Card (JMB36x). As soon as I create a pool using the 2TB drive I get the error "Incorrect Function" and the drive becomes RAW.

The drive id's are unique. It's worth pointing out that the system without the new controller can only support 2TB max of SATA drives, but this is bypassed by the controller card I added?

I'm also worried that the 2TB drive is showing up as RAID not SATA on the controller.

Win 8.1 Drive Mirroring VS Storage Spaces?

Jun 30, 2014

I am setting up a new home PCServer and decided to use Win 8.1 since I needed to upgrade to at least Win 7 Professional to use Disk Mirroring. Now I find out Win 8.1 has Disk Mirroring (From Disk Management Console) and Storage Spaces.

My question is which one is better and faster. I just want to mirror two drives (RAID 1) to store my pictures so if one drive fails I have a copy. I'm not interested in expanding this or adding drives that Storage Spaces seems to support.

Windows 8 - Storage Spaces And Repaired Drive?

Apr 3, 2014

Windows 8: I have 4 drives assigned to a raid1 and a raid0 storage space. A power plug broke off of one of the drives. I ordered an exact replacement hdd pcb for that drive. It spins up, bios sees it, I'm 100% sure no damage was done to the data as the drive was off when the power plug was broken. windows sees it but storage spaces thinks it is a new drive. So spaces is still showing the raid0 offline and raid1 in lowered resiliency mode. I am assuming something on the logic board, maybe hdd serial# or guid or something is now different for the repaired drive.

In powershell if there is a way to tell storage spaces that the repaired drive is in fact the one that it thinks is offline?

Here is a powershell Get-PhysicalDisk:

Storage Spaces Capacity (RAID5)

Oct 9, 2013

I've been using storage space for around a year with pool and raid functionality and I just realized the numbers don't add up... I have 7x 2TB all parts of a single pool with parity. Now here's the numbers:

Physical space: 14tb
Storage Space size (user set): 12tb
Used Storage Space size (according to windows explorer): ~6tb
Used Storage Space size (according to storage spaces): ~9tb
Individual drive used % (according to storage spaces): ~75% each

Storage spaces tells me to add a drive, low capacity... So I know how normal RAID5 works and it really shouldn't use 50% of the total used space as shown by the numbers above (6tb + 3tb assumed to be parity = 9tb). Also, if I need to add another drive, this means I'm almost full at 6tb/14tb?! This is worst than MIRROR RAID...

Storage Spaces Not Writing Data Equally

Mar 11, 2014

I setup a parity storage pool with 2x500GB drives and x1 1TB drive then started transferring data, i noticed that they were getting full so added a 4TB drive and carried on transferring data however the x500GB drives are full and it will not let me transfer anymore data(currently about 2TB) the 4TB drive only says 18% full. Is there a configuration or command to move the data around the disks so they are all the same percentage eg 60% full? I have since tried moving data off the pool then transferring it back but I'm not sure its making any difference to the way the data is stored.

I have x1-500gb x2-1tb x3-2TB and x2-4TB drives with about 12TB of data i would like to store. Am i better off having multiple Pools with matching drives ?

Storage Spaces Showing Low Capacity And Uneven Disk Usage

Oct 11, 2013

I've just been migrating data to my new Storage Space on Windows 8. I had to do this in stages because I had a limited number of disks available to me. I had 2x 2TB disks in a nas box, and wanted to move them to a new server, and also added 2 more 2TB disks. Due to the nas being quite full, I started with a 4-disk pool consisting of 2x 2TB and 2x 500GB disks, and made a parity space.

My process was as follows:

Create parity space with the 2x 2TB and 2x 500GB disks
Copy all data from one of the disks in the nas to the space.
Remove 1x 500GB disk
Allow the space to repair
Add 1x 2TB disk from the nas into the pool
Copy the contents of the other nas disk to the space
Remove the 500GB and add the 2TB
Allow space to repair

The space is thinly provisioned at 4.85 TB which is what the GUI defaults to when I create a new parity space using all 4 disks. (I don't actually create the additional storage space). This is also what I calculated it to be (1.81*4*2/3).

Now the end result is very uneven disk usage and a low capacity warning, despite having what I think is about 57% total utilisation!

Here is a link to a screenshot of the space's setup:

[URL]

1) why it thinks there is low capacity?

2) How can I rebalance/redistribute the data evenly over the 4 disks?

Pictures On External Storage Drive Are Rotated

Sep 15, 2014

I've connected a MyBook 256GB external storage drive to my newly built computer. Half of my pictures are all rotated to the right. How did this happen? The pictures weren't taken in the way they appear right now. There has to be a better way of fixing this than to select the ones which are rotated and rotate them back to the original position.

Network / Sharing :: Mapping Cloud Storage Site Using Map Network Drive

Apr 2, 2014

I'm trying to map my box.com cloud storage using "Map Network Drive".

I found the "Map Network Drive" button at the top of my folder. I click on "Connect to a Web site that you can use to store your documents and pictures". I follow through "Choose a custom network location"

At "Internet or network address" I type the url where I would log into box through the internet: [URL] .....

At next I get the login prompt, so I login, clicking "Remember my credentials" , when it returns, indicating that my login is incorrect the number of letters in my password has doubled, so of course my password is incorrect if the "network drive" is adding a bunch of extra characters.

So I go back and click on "connect using different credentials" and get the same result ....

Browser Cause Non Page-pool Leak

Sep 15, 2014

Like the tittle states is it possible for a browser or browser extension to cause memory leak in the non page-pool.

A couple of of day ago I switch over to Opera and had memory leak in the non page-pool that paralyzed the machine till I rebooted.

Asking cause a few days prior I was messing around with a few of my drivers and I have a new motherboard coming and was thinking of just popping the hard drive on without doing a fresh install of windows, since I have an upgrade version of Windows 8.

Debugging :: Bad Pool Caller In Windows 8.1

May 23, 2014

I saw this BSOD for the first time last night. I don't know exactly how it happened: my sister was using my computer to edit some photos from her travels on Photoshop. She shut it down. I opened it up and pushed the power button a little while later. After the HP loading screen, I saw a BSOD for "Bad Pool Caller."

I have seen some issues due to an outdated graphics driver. When I updated to Windows 8.1, I began seeing delays upon wake up and entries in the Reliability Monitor for hardware errors. I've tried updating my graphics drivers but since I use switchable graphics, it is actually extremely difficult to do so. HP's drivers don't allow me to open them and Leshcat's drivers have failed, too. That is why I have given up on updating them.

Maintenance :: Paged Pool Memory Constantly Increasing?

May 4, 2014

I'm Running Windows 8.1 Update 1 Enterprise.

custom built machine :

I7 4770K
32gb ram
Samsung evo pro 256gb ssd
2x gtx 770 sli

the installation was done around end of january, i don't have much running on that computer but games (i have another system for work)

The issue i have is the Paged Pool memory after system is up is at roughly 250mb but keep increasing around 1-2mb per sec and never stops, after roughly 1h uptime, i'm already at 2gb.(after 1day uptime yesterday, i was at 56gb). The non-paged pool is however never an issue and sits between 150mb and 250mb (i would say normal values)

i've read about disabling NDU, disabling killer networks application (my network driver) and many other things but so far still no luck.

Hardware Drivers :: Space Key Sets Randomly Spaces When Texting

Aug 11, 2014

I am working at a desktop pc with Win 8.1 installed. When typing, spaces appear randomly (also in the middle of a word - it is not as if the space key had got stuck). Nevertheless I got a new keyboard but the same problem occurs. I removed the keyboard driver - did not work. The keyboard is not wireless, plain USB. Seems though, as if the fault appears only in programs of the MS office suite.

Debugging :: BSOD - Bad Pool Header And Page Fault In Non Paged Area

Mar 26, 2014

Basically about 3 weeks ago I had some computer issues, I figured it was a good time for a couple of upgrades so I replaced the Motherboard, Processor, Power Supply, and I had my Video Card RMA'd by EVGA (excessive coil whine)

I formatted the hard drive (it was a 300GB partition of a 1.5 TB Raid 0) and reinstalled windows 8 to the computer, everything seemed fine for about a week, I took my computer downstairs to hook it up to a TV so my family could watch some Hulu on the big screen and my computer started getting BSOD every few minutes.

I was unsure as to what was causing it so I reinstalled windows again. After the install I was still getting BSOD... so I went out and bought a SATA 120GB SSD and put it in as the primary Hard Drive and installed windows to that drive instead of onto the Raid partition. Same thing, more BSOD...

At this point I have reinstalled 4 times, I tried allowing Windows to fully update everything and tried turning all updates off and manually installing everything myself. More BSOD both ways... in fact at this point when I try to manually install the NVidia drivers they just Fail during the install and wont finish...

Given that the BSOD seem to be either Page Fault in Non Paged area and Bad Pool Header I figured it might be the RAM and ran a MemTest over night, unless I am reading it wrong there were no errors:

My current system specs are:

Full version Windows 8 Pro (not upgraded to 8.1)
Intel i5-4670 CPU (about 3 weeks old)
Gigabyte Z87X-HD3 Motherboard (about 3 weeks old)
2 2GB Corsair 1333 MHz DDR3 RAM (about 5 years old)
EVGA Nvidia GTX 580 3GB video card (just got a RMA replacement about 3 weeks ago)
SoundBlaster XFi PCIE card (About 5 years old)
PCI 4 Drive SATA Raid Controller
120GB SSD Hard Drive (about 1 week old)
4 500 GB Seagate Barracuda single platter Hard drives (SATA, about 3 years old, 1 single and 3 in a Raid 0 Setup)
Corsair TX 650M Power Supply (about 3 weeks old)
DVD RW Drive (SATA, about 5 years old)

So, based on this wall of information, I am suspecting one of 3 things:

1. Might be corruption in the 8GB Thumb drive I am installing my Windows 8 from. ?

2. Might be something with drivers on the computer... after 4 clean reinstalls I don't see how this can be totally it but...

3. Some other hardware on my computer is causing the issue:

- On board sound conflicting with the soundblaster?

- RAID controller?

- Bad GPU / VRAM?

Incorrect DPI / Scaling Of Desktop On ONE Monitor

Jun 30, 2014

I currently have a two monitor set up.

On boot up the left monitor (desktop only, metro is fine) has incorrect DPI scalling, where some items appear large and blurry. This includes the menus (eg explorer), desktop programs and the cursor. The taskbar and metro interfaces are fine.

Changing any graphics settings fixes the problem - eg. if I change the main monitor and change back the problem goes away. Equally, changing resolution and changing back fixes the issue. I've only ever had the problem with 8.1. I fixed the problem/it went away after a while, but since doing a reformat the problem is back.

I have changed the setting in text size and other items, unchecking the "let me choose one scaling level...." and have put the slider on "smaller". In PC settings, the DPI is set to smaller (but this is for the metro interface).

Maintenance :: Getting Error - The Parameter Is Incorrect?

Sep 5, 2013

I upgraded to 8.1 and everything is fine, apart from these 2 issues: -

1. If I start a maintenance run manually via Control Panel, Windows will start defragging my SSD, which obviously shouldn't happen. You can see it happening here, even though the drive is correctly identified as an SSD: -

I believe this bug was an issue in Windows 8 as well.

2. The System Reserved partition shows up in Optimise Drives, as it did in Windows 8, but I am unable to optimise it. If I select it and click the Optimise button, the Optimise Drives window disappears, reappears, but nothing has happened. It still says "Never run" and "Needs optimisation" next to it. Also, that causes an error to show up in Event Viewer each time I try it, as you can see here: -

The error is the same each time: -

The volume System Reserved was not optimised because an error was encountered: The parameter is incorrect (0x80070057)

Also in that list of logged events you can see where events have been logged saying that my C drive has been defragmented and not just retrimmed.

I have tried running chkdsk on the drive. I've tried running System File Checker. I have tried this command: -

DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Scanhealth

Everything checks out fine and there are no errors.

Is this something I should be concerned about? Issue 1 only occurs if you manually start a maintenance run from Control Panel and it appears to be a bug in Windows, but that's easily solved by just letting maintenance run automatically on a schedule. It's issue 2 that I'm more concerned about. My system is running great and I don't know if not optimising that small 350 MB System Reserved partition really matters.

Explorer Constantly Crashed Now Icons Are Incorrect

Jan 24, 2014

Basically my icons are fubar! :

More detail:

Current Setup/programs that affected this issue:
RDP
Stardock Fences 2
Super Street Fighter 4 Arcade Edition

Basically I RDPed into my home PC, tried to play some Street Fighter 4. Things worked, all was happy, and the Gods rejoiced. Until I returned home. Upon trying to log into my PC the desktop showed only partially complete (by this I mean the icons were there but they were in the process of moving to the "fence"). Explorer gave me the wonderful wait symbol and I could not interact with my PC. Fast forward 10-15 minutes, still no change. CTRL-ALT-DELETE worked kind of: it opened up after a few moments/minutes. From there I rebooted thinking that would fix it. Nope.

Eventually I got into the cycle where the desktop would load, fences would load, explorer would lock up, I'd click my mouse, explorer would crash and restart. I uninstalled fences, everything worked... except the icons. Reinstalled fences, same problem as before, crashing and whatnot. Uninstalled it again. And that's where I'm at currently.

I've attached a couple images, the first one shows the current state of the icons. Some have their icons, some don't. All are valid shortcuts. I'm a bad person and I have actual programs on my desktop and even those have the generic white page icon.

The second screenshot shows the file in its directory, with properties and change icon. No matter how many times I do that, nothing will change.

I've spent a couple hours googling and my first thought was it was the icon cache so I decided to nuke it (I found some instructions on these sites with copy/paste commands, it was so easy even a cave man could do it).

So I'm currently frustrated beyond all belief at my PC on a night when I just wanted to come home, watch some movies and play a couple games after an annoying day at work. Instead I spent all evening trying to fix this problem and getting no where. Woe is me?

I should add without Fences (and I removed all my other customization stuff and nuked anything that integrated with the right click shell thingy which I can't remember what it's called) my machine is running nice and smoothly (so far) aside from the icons.

Language Settings Appear To Have Incorrect Keyboard Layout

The keyboard layout of my laptop is the UK English, but even with this setting in the language settings of windows I still am stuck using the US English version, so for example my @ and " are swapped around, and where the pound sign is.

I've tried downloading new language packs, and switching to the US keyboard (no change) and back to UK (still no change).

Win 8.1 - System Time Incorrect When Fast Startup Turned On

Jan 15, 2014

Windows 8.1 ... Noticed shortly after upgrading the Asus VivoTab Smart to Windows 8.1 (from Windows 8) -- that sometimes the system's date and time will be incorrect after a shut-down, turn on cycle. Sometimes the clock is as fast as three hours, but others much longer. Interestingly, if you go into PC Settings > Time & Settings and then toggle off the "Set time automatically" option, and then toggle it back on, the time and date are immediately corrected. However, the time would again be wrong after a shutdown. If the tablet is restarted, though, the time is correct again.

THE SYSTEM: Windows 8.1 (upgraded from Windows Store). Intel Atom processor.

WHAT'S BEEN TRIED: I:

1. Stopped the Windows Time service, registered it again and restated it. The issue remained. I entered the desktop and clicked on the time in the lower right-hand corner of the screen. From here I confirmed the time zone was correct and changed the date and time. That fixes the problem during the current session, but the time/date are again wrong on reboot.

2. Tried Safe Mode. In Safe Mode, the time is correct and stays correct.

3. Tried Clean Boot. In Clean Boot, with all non-Microsoft services disables, the issue returns and the time is wrong again.

THE BREAKTHROUGH THAT BEGS FOR AN ANSWER: While reading this thread, I read up on Windows 8's Fast Startup. Just on a lark, I went into the Power settings area of the Control Panel and turned off Fast Startup. Now the clock is correct. There's a downside , of course, to this in that shutdown and startup is notably slower.

The tablet now keeps perfect time -- but cannot have Fast Startup - which is a bummer for a tablet.

QUESTIONS:
1. Is this is hardware issue? Asus is offering an RMA -- but hate to add to a landfill when this is fixable with software.
2. Is there a way to check the BIOS clock on a Windows 8.1 tablet ? I believe it's a UEFI system....
3. Is there a way to fix this so fast startup can be used -- and have correct time?
4. Is this a known issue?
5. Is there a way to make sure the Windows Time service is activated in a Fast Startup.

Maintenance :: Windows 8.1 Defrag Parameter Is Incorrect 0x80070057

Oct 28, 2013

I tried to upgrade to windows 8 through the store and if failed horribly, the pc refused to boot a an error code I that don't remember so I decided to wipe everything and install Windows 8.1 from a usb drive. Everything was fine for the past week and a half until 2 days ago when the disk defragmentation tool decided to stop working, I ran the tool many times after installing 8.1 and it has always worked but now I get a 0x80070057 error which should mean that the size of my partition is wrong. I did a chkdsk /r /f that took 2 hours to complete and it didn't find any errors and I also ran a sfc /scannow with no luck.

Here is a screenshot

After spending some time googling for the issue I found out that there are many Windows 8.1 users with the same issue and on the microsoft forums no one seems to be able to fix this. From what I understand this seems to be related to the size values of the partition which according to the defragger are wrong but the tool was working before and I didn't edit the partition in any way.

Maintenance :: System Image Recovery Password Incorrect?

Oct 31, 2013

I'm running Windows 8.0 Pro 64bit in UEFI mode & I have successfully taken a Windows System Image of my PC in preparation for upgrading to Windows 8.1.

So now I'm testing that I can actually restore my system, so I go to:

PC Settings -> General -> Advanced Startup -> Troubleshoot -> Advanced Options -> System Image Recovery

On the next screen I select my PC Account name (the only account listed) and then enter my password. However, I always get "Password Incorrect. Please try again".

I am 100% certain that I am entering the correct password.

I can restart the PC and login to windows using the same Account & password without any problems. In User Accounts there is only 1 User Account listed which has administrator rights. Nor have I tried to change the password since the System Image was taken.

Accounts :: How To Change Incorrect Administrator Email Address

Sep 12, 2013

When I set up my computer, I accidentally made a typo in my email address. I'm trying to download some Microsoft software from the internet and this typo is causing me dramas because it's not a real email address and I can't go any further with downloads without verifying the email address by accessing a verification email in an email address that doesn't exist!!! Confused? Yup, me too.

It seems like such a simple thing but I cannot find a way to go back and change the administrator email address. I can't find an option to do so in account users. I have made a new account user using my real email address but... I just keep hitting brick walls.

Accounts :: Logging Into Windows 8.1 Account - Password Incorrect

Nov 10, 2013

I got an issue with my logging Windows 8.1 account. When I log in it tells me that my password is incorrect and I should go to windows.live.com/refresh and I did. But when I change my password it tells me the same thing like it haven't even change nothing. I try using my Windows 8 CD that I have and I did an automatic repair and it tells me this.

"Log File E:WINDOWSSystem32LogfileSrtSrtTrail.txt"

At that point I try to change my way of solving this and I went to system restore. I choose the date time I want it to restore my system to see if that fixed anything, but nothing still. I know it has to be with my password or something with my account which is odd, because I never had to link my microsoft account with my PC (if that is the case) But at this point I am again clueless. I even try pressing the F8 when I restart my system to being able to access my computer in a safe mode but it doesn't do a thing.

Hardware Drivers :: Icons And Names For USB Flash Drives Incorrect?

Jun 24, 2014

On my windows 8.1 PC whenever I plug in any USB pen drive the thumbnail for the device is always an image of a Sandisk Cruzer Titanium as is the identity when I go to the safely remove hardware toolbar.

The Sandisk probably was the first pen drive I plugged into the machine when new but surely it should be picking up details of subsequent devices or at the very least showing generic details.
