Where did my RAID go??

Hi guys!
After I flashed my bios from v3.5 to v3.6 I can't get my RAID up 'n runnin'... I even tried to flash the old bios-versions (3.5, 3.4 and even 3.3)
 Luckily I wrote down all the settings concerning RAID before flashing, but it have not helped me! Not even when I flash to the old Bios version I had before, and why is that?! To me it's a mistery...
Onboard Promise IDE as - S-ATA (from v3.5)
(this option has however changed in the v3.6 Bios I am currently using)
Onboard Serial-ATA - ENABLED (v3.6)
On-chip ATA Operate mode - Native mode
ATA Configuration - S-ATA Only
S-ATA Keep Enabled - YES ( this option is greyed)
P-ATA Keep Enabled - YES
P-ATA Channel Selection - BOTH
Combined MOde Option - P-ATA 1st Channel (this option is greyed)
S-ATA Ports Definition - P0-1st/P1-2nd.
Configure S-ATA as RAID - YES
As I said above, these were the settings used before I flashed in the first place...
There's only one big change now;
in boot Device Priority I had
1st. BBS-0 (RAID): Intel RAID_Volume1
now I have
BBS-0(Network):IBA GE Slot 0208 v1210
no Raid disks to choose from  
Please help me asap, anyone...  
Regards,
jallaby
PS: If you'd like to know more about my hardware/settings, refer to:
Do I really get the speed?
Thanks in advance!

Please provide a list of all your devices and where they are connected.
It sounds like you have Windows installed on a Raid0 array on the Intel controller(serial1&2) but this is unclear.
Do you have another Raid controller and anything connected to it(Serial 3&4 and maybe IDE3)?
Do you have any hard drives listed in the Boot Device Select menu or just the Network boot that you mention?
What version exactly of the 875P do you have?
You need to know that when you update your Bios, many of the settings are reset to default. Often this makes the machine unbootable if you have special boot setup such as a Raid. For example, when I tested booting the Intel Raid0 array with the Bios set to "Configure SATA as Raid-No", as expected it did not boot. However after restoring the proper Bios setting, it would still not boot and I had to enter the Windows F8 menu and load last good config. Even after this, I had to reinstall the video drivers for some reason.
Anyway you need to try to get the Bios settings proper first so that your drives show up in the standard settings menu and/or the Raid Bios(control-I) and you can select them from the Boot device select screen(advanced features menu).
Then you can determine if the Raid has been corrupted by possibly re-setting and if neccessary re-creating it like Blazer advised above.
I would start by "loading default settings" in Bios.
Then set the Advanced IDE config like you listed above(it looks correct to me).
If you don't boot from the onboard Promise IDE, leave it disabled for now.
Check the "Raid Guide" thread in my signature and the "Pre-Raid Setup Bios Tweaks" for some other Bios settings that may help.
Good Luck!

  • "Boot OSX" drive, where did it come from?

    I have an intel xserve with 1 80gb drive (for booting) and 2 750bg drives mirrored(via software) as my DATA drive.
    After I initially set this up, there was one "BOOT" drive and one "DATA" drive on the desktop.
    I recently logged into the server via ARD and noticed there was a third drive now, named "Boot OSX".
    I, nor any of my staff, installed or created this drive(volume).
    It appears to be part of the mirror raid, but where did it come from???

    FWIW, I saw this shortly after installing Leopard and initially thought it was an external drive I set up as backup. It was only later that I realized that I didn't have the external drive plugged in when I saw "Boot OSX" on my desktop.
    Tonight, I saw it again, googled, and found this thread. Could this have anything to do with Software Update? Software Update let me know I needed to install some updates. I clicked on details and ended up minimizing the application to install them later. After twiddling around with some other things I noticed the "Boot OSX" on my desktop, again. I went ahead and let Software Update "do it's thing" and after a reboot, like the other posters in this thread, it was gone.
    So ... as I asked, earlier, could this have something to do with Software Update?

    UPDATE- I FOUND THE FILES!!
    First of all, HP... i'm not impressed.
    All the files for all the drivers are in a series of temp folders...
    C:\Users\-myusername-\AppData\Local\Temp\3\7zS4A73
    really?
    hope this helps someone. 

    There is no change to this problem after 6 months since the last post. Put simply, and as stated in the previous posts, there is no way to scan a document and receive the image on your PC. If you are working with graphics for any length of time or want to create an image for inclusion as an image in a document or web page using this piece of equipment will not allow you to do so.
    Great shame as every other function works well - it cannot be beyond the wit of HP to include a Windows application that enables you to scan an image, receive it in the software you are using at the time (e.g. Outlook, Word, Photoshop...) and use it in your work.
    HP Printers several years older than this £1000+ Enterprise printer were able to do this simple job and have done so for a great many years. Just being able to use Microsoft's Fax and Scan would be start.

    I DO remember them but Apple chose to put them in Japanese and I can not change the language on Manage my Apple ID so I do not know if I made an error ,it threw me off , it was the wrong question Where did you fly to on your first Aiplane trip ? then I was unable to enter until 8 hours then called Apple Japan 4 times each time threy asked me would you like to speak with an English speaker,I said yes then they told me sorry today is Sunday no English speakers ,but they refused to speak Japanese, then I called 5th time and a kind guy could speak English we were on 1and 1/2 hours he got me to log in but the reset key chain could not be completed still pending.
    He said do not mess with that ! then I got a text from somewhere to reset 4 pins suddenly it was very strange I said to him that I got this pin this morning but it said you can use maximum 3 hours it had a UK number and I told him I do not like this and will not enter the code he said do not do it if it is from the UK and then I said to him ok you did a lot to help but we can not go any further ! and we cut of I went back to my computer to re do the ID but I found everything a mess so I call and a stupid sounding Japanese women with a squeaky voice came on I was calm at first and they want your phone number your IMEI number your iPhone serial number date of birth Address email address it takes 10 munutes to check then they ask what are you caling about so I try to explain my keychain is broken or problems with language security questions and can not change my pasword because the security question have failed me so it is ONE BIG HEADACHE AND I START I GET STRESSED she says Do want an ENGLISH speaker ,I say yes ,that guy i talked to earlier but I never got his name and first time I ever talked to him but they said he is not here so I said ok and then she said today is sunday so call back in the morning ,I said ,well ok in Japanese but they make you feel stupid because they do not want to speak Jap@anese with none natives and they are to busy,And they feel that I should not bother them ,then I say that Apple Japan is trying to refuse Apple foreign customers and then she wants to hang up and ask me to visit the shop ,but they are the same I have a very bad time with Apple Japan since they do not discuss software problems or security with customer meaning if you have a problem they ask you to come on a time 20 minutes max so they do hardware test and say you phone is fine then I say no I can not reset my ID they say you must call call centre so I am going around in circles ,When I call English it is usually Australia so if my problem is in Japan surely if do not want me to talk to them in Japanese and they ask me to call Australia but every time my call charge is expensive after asking them is this free because I have Apple care they say yes but when the call goes to Australia 0120 277 535 it might change to paid call so I call then I have to ask is this charging they say we can not give you that information ! so what can I do I have have been at the computer and phone all day on my day off work and in tre week I am so busy and can not use my phone I can not work without it ,this new technology for you ,they can not cope with the fact that the customer have problems yet they do not want to deal with us because they can not solve it and so it shows them to be useless they like to walk around in their cool tee shirts and retro shop but when it comes to functionality we are unwelcome they got the money so do not return because apple is perfect that nothing should go wrong .
    But it does somehow my English security answers do not work on a Japanese Question especialy if I did not choose that question I set  up the multiple choice In English and wrote the answers in English or Roman and set them langauge preferences in English, do you really think you can correctly write english name or word in Japanese they write a police patrol car  pato caa パトカア　they do not have r and l .So it is my choice to make my security easy for me and as difficult for others to hack.But they also have patororoo choo meaning ' now patrolling ' so why they have pato caa patrol car and patoro patrol and have thousands of Chinese words kanji they can find patrol.
    I am getting off the topic but I am at a loss to fix this problem when they hold the keys and i have all the info to verify my ID.

  • How do I print a mirror image?  Where did the old functionality go?

    Within the last several months I was able to print a mirror image of my document to my HP DeskJet F4180 in high resolution. I don't know if it is the new HP drivers, or my new Snow Leopard OS but now I can' figure out how to do it again. I can grab a screen shot in and flip it in Preview but it ends up printing in low resolution.
    I have printed mirror images in the past from my PDF applciations and I think from Office 2008 (PowerPoint). I find no documents saved on my hard drive that come up saved as a reverse image so I suspect that I was using a printer feature not an application feature to print mirror images.
    Where did this functionality go?

    Found it!
    Use the check box marked Flip Image. Didn't is say mirror before?

  • Where did the Stream 7 drivers go?

    The support page for downloading drivers for the HP Stream 7 tablet (any model) has disappeared from the HP website.
    Navigating to the HP Stream 7 support page, Selecting "Software and Drivers", then "Go directly to software and drivers page", Operating System "Windows", then Version "Windows 8.1" (the only choices), then clicking the Update button, gives a message "No software or drivers are available for this product with the selected operating system. Please make a different selection, or visit the product homepage. " This happens using Firefox, IE 11, or Chrome.
    These drivers have been missing for at least a few weeks, and multiple forum users have also had no luck finding them. Before that time the drivers seemed to come and go randomly, but they've stayed missing now for weeks.  One dorum user has posted direct FTP links to the drivers, and they might be the latest version, but not really sure.
    Where did the drivers go, HP?

    This is for the 5701 as of a few days ago.

    To my knowledge, the wish list has never been in the iTunes app. It certainly isn't now. You can comment to Apple here:

  • When I open iPhoto its asks me what photo library I want to use.  I already have a photo library that i've been using for 2 years, where did it go? and why am I being asked now to choose a library or "create new" what happened to all my photos?

    When I open iPhoto it asks me to choose a photo library.  I already have a libary with photos and events in it that I've been using for 2 years.  Where did it go?  What happened to all my photos

    We have no way of knowing what goes on on your machine. All we can tell is that your iPhoto library is missing and iPhoto can't find it. If you can't find then I the only thing you can do is restore from your Back Up.

    Can someone tell me how to find my photos?I backed up my iPhone but Photostream was not on.pictures are not on my laptop so where did they go?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Backing up does not transfer your photos to your computer, if you don't want to enable photo stream, you will need to transfer your photos when your device is connected to your computer using iTunes.

  • I rented a movie on my iPad. It began to download but then it disappeared. The movie appears in my rented videos, but when I click it, it says, "video rented but not downloaded. Go to downloads to manage downloads". Where did my downloads go?

    I rented a movie on my iPad. It began to download but then it disappeared. I freed up a ton of storage space to make sure I had the room for it. The movie appears in my rented videos, but when I click it, it says, "video rented but not downloaded. Go to downloads to manage downloads". Where did my downloads go? I re-booted my iPad, signed off/on iTunes etc. I can't find a folder with downloadable items anywhere. ITunes just tells me, "you've already rented this video. Do you want to rent it again?" What happened to my movie?

    Did you check the Videos app?

    When I upgraded my iPhone 4s to IOS7, I lost all my app icons. Where did they go? Interestingly they are still listed in notifications and I could play words with friends when I got a message on the home screen that it was my turn (but still no icon)

    Hey linfrommi,
    Thanks for the question. I understand that you are having trouble locating some application after the update to iOS 7. To troubleshoot this issue, let’s reset the home screen layout of your iPhone, which should move all of your applications to the second “page”:

  • I can no longer find Software Update on my laptop.  Running 10.10.1.  What happened to it?  Where did it go?

    I am running 10.10.1 MacBook Pro (Retina,15-inch, Late 2013) w/ 2 GHz Intel Core i7, and can no longer find Software Update on my laptop.  It is not in the menu under the Apple logo.  It canot be found in the applications list through Preferences.
    Can someone please explain what happened to it? 
    Where did it go? 
    Why?
    Thank you!
    Storm Petrol

    The Software Update item in the Apple menu has been REPLACED by the App Store. It is still present in the system if you go to About This Mac, where you will see "Software Update..." as one of the buttons in the Overview section of the information window that appears. The difference here is that the App Store menu option will only launch the App Store's main landing page, whereas the Software Update button will launch the store and then check for any system and other updates available.

  • I can no longer view my iTunes "sync in progress."  where did this window go, and how do I get it back?

    Hi; I can no longer view my iTunes "sync in progress" window--the window that tells me each thing that is syncing, etc.  Where did it go, and how do I get it back?  Thanks if you can help--I was on the phone with Apple for 7 minutes on hold and then they just cut me off.  (Nice).

    Now, I find myself unable to update my version of Itunes. it asks me if I wish to update the version, I say yes, and then nothing happens.
    With that one, I'd try updating using an iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe) installer file, downloaded from the Apple Website:

  • My mirroring icon is no longer showing up on my iPad. Where did it go?

    Where did the mirroring icon go on my iPad? I can't find it.

    Is your airplay device connected to the same WIFI network as your ipad? I would restart the ipad and the device if they are. And, are you sure your accessing the icon by double tapping the home button and swiping to the right in the multi task bar?

  • Where did the recent history dropdown go??

    The very convenient recent history drop-down, you know next to the forward/back arrows upper left, is nowhere to be found in the newer Firefox versions. Can I get it back? Can I go back to 3.5 and use it??

    yup me too, where did it go and how do i get it back, i have been very unimpressed with the recent update to make things 'better' or to see how many people actually use the tool's where you put them. your latest update seems more like a survey to see how many people venture beyond the mouse and see the qwerty thing. c'mon firefox be all that you can be!! its not hard to be better than microsoft just look and apple.
