Hi Aloysius,

Sorry if it seems like there isn't much response from us about your
plight. Although, according to your problem like BIOS not loading, most
likely it is a motherboard issue.

Also, I was quite surprised that you were able to have RAID 5 when your
OS is only Windows Vista/7 Ultimate. Usually only the Windows Server
series comes with software configured RAID and supports up to RAID 5.
Which only means that your current RAID 5 setup is done by a RAID
controller from your hardware.

Only way I can think of for your problem is to have another PC
(motherboard) to setup with RAID 5 on its RAID controller and just hook
up your 3 1TB Harddisk to the 2nd PC. So from then your Windows should
be able to boot. I do recommend that you backup everything inside there
to your NAS.

Just a bit of note, I would recommend that for the next time around,
instead of going for RAID 5, just go RAID 1. RAID 1 mirrors the data
from 1 hard disk to the other. So should another problem like this
happen, you can always unplug out 1 hard disk and set it up normally
instead of going RAID. You can't do that with RAID 5 because the data
is not mirrored to all 3 hard disks. It uses a different kind of
recovery system that rebuilds the data to other hard disks should 1 of
them fails.

Hope that can help you out a bit.

Think we'll need to know what's the model of your Canon Printer. Think
you should be fine with the Printer since the drivers is usually
available. Just a matter of compatibility sometimes.

As for the scanner, I'm not so sure. Have to depend on the model and if
there's a driver for it.

For the camera, as long as you use it just to transfer pictures between
your PC and the camera, it is fine. If you use a special photo
management software that comes with the camera, usually that kind of
program only works on Windows.

Best is just to have a virtual windows running at the same time through
Virtualbox and just transfer the files in between for printing and
scanning.

OK will try the battery. Canon does not work well with Unbuntu that means I still need to used Windows? I have home vista original version any suggestion on that? I tried loading loading it with the Raid configuration but it does not work it is unable to detect the HD. IS their any work around it?

Regarding Canon and Linux.

They concentrate a lot on Windows market only, so most printers/scanners

if there's a driver

for Linux it won't really be optimized (certain functionalities will be
missing). You'll have
to try your luck with Canon.

A contact of mine in Canon told me the same thing.

Anyway you can try checking this http://www.openprinting.org/printers for
your printer compatibility
with Linux.

I'm using a Canon MX347 multi printer too. Works well on my Fedora 15 from the available RPM package from Canon website but limited to direct printing. I can't do black only printing, duplex printing and other things you can do on Windows.

We have to accept the fact, Linux is the anak tiri OS for a lot of
hardware vendors hehehe

That is my problem. I do mind to used unbuntu the problem is the hardware. Windows is not cheap. Windows 7 Home Premium edition can not back up to NAS.
