How to install W7 Promise driver for K9A2 Platinum

First of all i assume no responsability for any loss of data ,everything described here is done on your own risk.BACK-UP data before doing this.
Any K9A2 Platinum v1 user was disapointed when looking on the product page seeing no W7 driver.As a MSI tech recommended a driver from Promise i said to myself to try it and of course , it did not installed the normal way.You could force it tru HAve Disk from within Windows 7 only when running form the SB 600 .Also Windows updates installs an update for the cip.
The procedure is simple ,practically you only need to edit one or 2 INF files depending on the W7 version.
FTTX4650-2650 controllers are both compatible with Windows 7 as the Microsoft website shows.
Download driver from Promise website the driver for FTTX4650-2650 Win7 Win2008R2 WHQL V 1.3.0.4 -> file name FTTX4650-2650_Win7_Win2008R2_WHQL_V_1.3.0.4
Unzip the archive and navigate to the i386 or/and amd64 folders locate <FTT3s.inf> file/s ,open with Notepad.For the .inf extension to be visible go to File & Folder Options and enable extensions to be visible.
Under the [Promise] section add the folowing lines ,this ID s were harvested from within Windows 7 Promise properties ,when no driver was installed

If it looks like this save the file.
Go and Install it.
A warning message for the driver will appear as with any beta or unsigned driver ,ignore it.
When in W7 update the Promise as offered by Windows update.
I will not be held resposable for any damage or data loss.You are doing this on your own risk.Back-up your data and test the driver for yourselves before long term usage.
If it works for you post feedback.

    I am using Mac OS 10.6. Any suggestions greatly received. I have repaired/disk and permissions and it still does not work.

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:

    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ If you’re running Mac OS X 10.7 or later, open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the page that opens.
    Select "/var/log/install.log" from the file list. Post the messages from the last installation attempt, starting from the time when you launched the Installer or Software Update.

  • Where to download and how to install X Window System for Oracle Linux 5 ?

    Folks,
    Hello. I am using Oracle Linux 5 and Oracle Database 11g for PIA.
    Before install Oracle DB 11g into Oracle Linux 5, we need to install X Window System according to the document page 2 http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B28359_01/install.111/b32285.pdf
    But I don't know where to download and how to install X Window System for Oracle Linux 5.
    Can any folk provide a link to download X Window System and tutorial to install it for Oracle Linux 5 ?

    You can address the problem in a number of different ways.
    You can install X-windows from the installation DVD or setup access to the Oracle public software repository as described in http://public-yum.oracle.com. In which case, the command to install X-windows is: yum groupinstall "X Window System"
    Or, you login remotely and and use SSH with X-forwarding, in which case the software on the server will use the X-Windows server on your client system. This is probably the preferred way since you do not have X-windows installed on the server. For more details about SSH forwarding and howto, please see Install Oracle 11gR2 on Ubuntu Linux 11.04 (64-bit) Howto part 2 Oracle Universal Installer.

    All,
    A very interesting NOTE to this thread. In order to try and get the "ignore permissions" box to show up in GET INFO (so I could execute Matt the Magician's solution to file sharing issues)-- I ran the terminal command for disabling ACLs on my internal HD / start up disk (as indicated in the linked thread to BDAqua's forum).
    Although I understand that this was useless for disabling permissions on the start up disk (as everyone here pointed out) and allowing me to see the "ignore permissions" check box - somehow it did seem to fix my file sharing problem...and that was the root problem I wanted solved in the first place! After doing the terminal command and a quick reboot, I went in and tested file sharing on the chosen directory and I can create new files or work from existing files in the directory, with both users being able to modify / and save from both machines and each machine sees the revisions and can build from them. Bottom line - I'm stoked and want to thank everyone for their help.
    The only other tweak I made was going over to my wife's machine and instead of using her log in / password, I just used my name and password to connect to my main machine that was sharing directories. Maybe that's what fixed the problem or the ACL disable but either way...I'm up and running the way I want to be.
    Hope this thread helps anyone else who has these file sharing / permissions issues with Leopard. Especially for anyone wanting to do such a simple file sharing set up between 2 computers. I wish I understood exactly which tweak fixed the problem, but at least it works the way I want now.
    So happy to be done w/this one!
    Thx everyone. Any additional input on what solved it is welcome, so my curiosity is quelled...
