  1. Adding the line has fixed the issue but now i have the following error when start a vm within vmware workstation "This virtual machine is configured for 64-bit guest operating systems. However, 64-bit operation is not possible. This host does not support Intel VT-x." My processor supports vt-x and virtualization is enable within the bios
  2. Hi, I have been looking through the forums but i cannot find a answer to the issues i am having with Hyper v and VMware workstation. I have recently moved from a HP micro server to a full desktop build with Asus Z170-A, i7 6700 k, 16GB Ram and 240 GB SSD. The reason i did this was to consolidate my Nas with a new gaming machine and Home lab. The Nas is up and working perfectly, i also have the a windows 10 VM configured with GPU pass through. I dont know if it is possible but i wanted to install vmware workstation and Hyper V on to my Unraid windows 10 VM, i am trying to build a home lab for passing server 2012 and VCP. Now is the issue you cannot run VM's inside a unraid VM because when trying to enable Hyper V i get a message "hyper v cpu does not support visualization" which it clearly does. Vmware work station comes up with a error "vmware workstation and hyper-v are not compatible" this is problem with hyper v being enabled but This is because the Hyper-V role is installed and this conflicts with VMware Workstation. To disable Hyper-V from starting the following command can be used: bcdedit /set hypervisorlaunchtype off Then reboot but this does not take effect. i have also check role and features to turn hyper v off but its is already disabled. Is it possible to run vmware workstation and hyper v within a Unraid VM? Thanks in advance
  3. After looking into it and the comments here i dont think it is going to make much difference. The USB would be limited to 30MB/s. Thanks for all the advice, i will post some pictures of my progress. Hopefully i can get the parts some time next week
  4. Sorry for the confusion, it was a long day yesterday. Ill try again, after I have built my unraid server, I will be copying the data from my external drives to the server. Is it correct I can copy my data across with no parity and benefit from faster writes? Once all the data has copied I can enable parity on the array to protect me against a single disk failure. I want to do it in this order so I can copy my data across in the fastest time possible Thanks again
  5. Thanks for the replies I totally agree with using some branded Memory, I should of known to play it safe. I am also going to change the PSU to the Corsair CX-500 and the case to the Antec 900. AS you have said, I could get away with a 500W PSU and the case you suggested is proven to work, i don't want to risk using the antec 100. the 900 is only £20 more. I have read it is better to copy the data across before using parity to get a faster write speed, is this correct? I have updated my first post with the new hardware changes, any final thoughts? Cant wait to get some serious storage on the go, thanks for the advice Thanks Sam
  6. hello everyone, As you can see this is my first post, i have been reading through the forums for sometime now and i thinking about building a unraid server. I use xbmc as my frontend and two 1TB usb drives for my media. Unraid looks to be the perfect solution for me as i dont want to waste any more money on external drives and i like the fact i have fault tolerence. Being able to add more storage is a big selling point. I was wondering if anyone can take a look at my componet list and give me some feed back, good or bad. Motherboard: Asus M4A88T-M 880G Socket AM3 Onboard Graphics 8 Channel Audio mATX motherboard http://www.ebuyer.com/product/220150 RAM: Kingston 2GB DDR3 1066MHz i5 Memory Module CL7 1.5V http://www.ebuyer.com/product/169490 CPU: AMD Sempron 145 2.8GHz 45W Socket AM3 Retail Boxed Processor http://www.ebuyer.com/product/238329 Power Supply: Corsair 500W CX PSU - 5x SATA 2x PCI-Express http://www.ebuyer.com/product/240999 Case: Antec 900 Nine Hundred http://www.ebuyer.com/product/118268 Total £232.59 I alread have the hard drives which are 2TB Western Digital WD20EARS, is it correct i would need a jumper on the 7th & 8th pin of all the drives. In the future i want the rig to support 15 drives and i would like to get some 3-in-5 hotswapable caddys. I would just like you guys to know you have a great project going here and its by far the best solution for my media needs. Thanks in advance Sam
