890FXA-GD70 Raid 0 Signed Driver Issue - Windows 7 Install

Hello everyone,
I am trying to install windows and I have a MSI 890FXA-GD70 that is setup with a functioning RAID 0 configuration. While installing windows 7 I get to the step where you select your hard drive, and it doesn't show up.
So I click "Load Drivers" and select the x64 raid driver I got from MSI. It shows up, then I click next and then the error message comes up: "To continue installation, use the Load Driver option to install 32-bit and signed 64-bit drivers....etc"
I restarted and spammed f8 to get into advance startup options. I selected "Disable digital driver signing"
However that did not fix the problem.
Does anyone have any tips or a solution?

I was hoping someone smarter than I would had replied by now.
Anyway, when I did my raid 0 on my msi 880GMA-E53 I had it set to ACHI then enbled raid and chose raid.
Can't remember the exact issue but my install failed.
Changed it to IDE mode and the install went fine.
MSI tech support said it should be in IDE mode.
Good luck,
Sabbath

N91 driver issue ~ Windows vista !

Hey there !
N91 driver issue ~ Windows vista !
i recently upgraded my OS fro XP pro to vista ultimate,
carrying all the program files and settings,
but then the nokia pc suite in vista didn't recognize or load drivers for N91, when connected as
(1.) pc sync
(2.) USB hdd.
so in -all pc suite wasn't running.
so i uninstalled and re-installed pc suite,
now it does connect and loads drivers when connected as
(1.) pc sync
but doesn't loads drivers (keeps on searching~ from CD and windows update) as a USB HDD,
so I can't drag and drop my files in it.
any solution to this !

The combination is complicated - VISTA / PCSuite 6.83...
Both are not reference of good behavior.
On Vista, miss a lot of drivers, even for N91, and PCSuite 6.83 is unstable and unreliable. So maybe, you don´t have a problem, and need to leave with that until both, or at least one of then have an upgrade.

HARD DISK DRIVER ISSUES WHILE INSTALLING WINDOWS 8

I am trying to install windows 8 on my PC, but it is asking for hard drive drivers. I have installed windows 8 before with no issues on the same PC with same configuration, but now I am facing these driver issues. Currently I am running Win7 as i cannot
reinstall Win8.
Config:
Gigabyte Motherboard 945G with Intel Core2duo8400 3ghz,
Intel(R) 82801G(ICH7) FAMILY CHIP SET,
4gb Ram, Nvidia graphic card, Seagate hard disk 160Gb.

Hi,
I doubt that the hard drive is either a SATA drive or in a RAID setup, you might need to install RAID controller drivers or SATA driver during the installation.
I also suggest you refer to the following link and check if it can give some hints.

MSI 890FXA-GD70 AM3 - Hard Drive in Sata Port 6 Not recognized in WIN7-[SOLVED]

I just bought this motherboard (MSI 890FXA-GD70 AM3), new memory, case and processor. I love it. But while I can put something together, I do not consider myself much more then an experienced novice.
Anyway, I bought a 5th hard drive and plugged it into SATA connector 6. Connector 5 remains unused. The new hard drive is recognized when the BIOS boots, but in Windows 7, I only show the first 4 drives like always. I just want to use this drive as a 5th hard drive for normal use and storage.
I went into the BIOS to see if there was a setting I was missing; read through the posts to see if I could find the answer; and prayed to GOD, but nothing has worked! I have found nothing on this topic, but then the FORUM is hard to navigate after a while with people not carefully choosing their topic subject name. (Why do people sometimes post - I HAVE A PROBLEM - without anything in the SUBJECT line to help the casual reader know what they are asking about?) My searches were fruitless, but then I know the key to a good search is using the right keywords.
I know this is going to turn out to be a simple setting, but can you help? Thanks in advance! And when the solution is presented, I will post back that ALL IS WELL!

PROBLEM SOLVED! Found it myself through careful research.
This is the link that helped me: http://www.ithinkdiff.com/how-to-enable-ahci-in-windows-7-rc-after-installation/
Apparently, because I had IDE and not AHCI enabled in the BIOS, only the first 4 ports were being identified. AND because I had not not changed the BIOS to AHCI before the installation of Windows 7, NO obvious way to change the setting AFTERWARDS!
In part what the post link above states:
AHCI (Advanced Host Controller Interface) enables native command queuing and hot-plugging through SATA host controllers (Serial-ATA) for your hard drives. In many scenarios it enables more efficient multi-tasking. Vista was the first Windows OS to support AHCI out of the box, where as Windows 7 does the same. But an issue with AHCI is that if you install the OS without enabling AHCI in the BIOS, enabling it after installation will render your OS unusable. This is because Windows disable the AHCI driver since it is not needed during the installation.
There is one way to fix this, although you need to have knowledge of registry editing. The detailed steps from Microsoft are as follows:
To resolve this issue, enable the AHCI driver in the registry before you change the SATA mode of the boot drive. To do this, follow these steps:
1. Exit all Windows-based programs.
2. Click Start, type regedit in the Start Search box, and then press ENTER.
3. If you receive the User Account Control dialog box, click Continue.
4. Locate and then click the following registry subkey: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESystemCurrentControlS etServicesMsahci
5. In the right pane, right-click Start in the Name column, and then click Modify.
6. In the Value data box, type 0, and then click OK.
7. On the File menu, click Exit to close Registry Editor.
After this you’ll have to restart your computer, go to BIOS and enable AHCI. When you log in to Windows again, you’ll notice the installation of drivers for AHCI. Another restart will be required to finish the driver installation.
I had been trying to select something in the BIOS other then IDE (choices are IDE, AHCI and RAID) to see if that would result in my 5th drive being recognized, but when I selected AHCI or RAID, the OS would flash the EVIL blue screen before it completed booting into Window 7.
I copied the instructions here in case the link gets disabled in the future. This link explained why I was having the problem I was having and how to solve it.
Thanks to everyone who tried to assist. I consider this closed.

MSI StarCam Clip - signed driver for Windows 8

After upgrading to Windows 8 x64 I lost my webcam.
I tried install unsigned driver and camera worked for a while* (search for windows 8 install unsigned driver, I can't put one stupid link to post).
But after few days / restarts Windows decides to disable driver again.
Please can MSI release signed drivers for Windows 7 (32bit/64bit) and Windows 8?

Driver Issues After Installing Windows 8.1 Preview

Yesterday, I downloaded and installed Windows 8.1 Pro Preview, which I now regret because my wireless connection no longer works on my Lenovo IdeaPad N580. I check the status of the driver for the Realtek RTL 8192DE wireless LAN, and I get a message that I have the latest driver. However, when I check the status the the Realtek device, the system says it is disabled. I tried to enable it within BIOS as I read somewhere that that is the way to fix the problem, but I cannot find any reference to the wireless LAN device in BIOS. This problem has apparently happened a number of times on a number of brands of computers. Nothing I've read that I've tried works. Does anyone have any ideas?

The only way I can think of is to erase your hdd and fresh install Windows 8 or 7.

Best Way to Backup a Raid hard drive on Windows 7 Pro OS

This is my set-up
Lenovo W520 on factory installed Windows 7 Professional OS
Two 500 GB Internal Hard drive on Raid 1 (factory installed):
NO DVD burner
Have a 2TB External Hard drive partitioned into three -
#1--600GB; #2-- 600GB;    #3--600+GB
I already created a "Factory recovery disk" from the thinkvantage tool and put it in partition #1
The next step is to create a backup of my system, application and data.
Thinkvantage tools offers 2 options:
1. Windows backup
2. Rescue & Recovery
Question 1:
With the set-up as listed above, what is the best & most effective way to backup a Raid 1 on Windows 7 Pro OS?
How do you do it? How often to backup? (I am just a beginner on RAID)
Question 2:
OR do you use other Back-up/ Imaging software??? (e.g. Acronis,paragon system backup,norton ghost , novabackup, nero backit up)

Hi, Herb,
   RAID is no substitute for backing up your hard drive. For example, if you get a virus it will destroy the data on both RAID drives. In fact, I don't think that RAID 1 has much value for most users. Odds are much higher that you will encounter a software (virus) issue than a sudden disk failure. However, if RAID makes you feel more secure, then by all means.
   I recommend getting Acronis True Image Home. It is cheap and it works. It will enable you to take a snapshot of your hard drive and recover with ease.
Acronis
   Last thing - I'm guessing your external drive is USB 3 or eSATA? If so, it has the speed you need to run complete backups. I do mine every evening, as I can't afford to lose a whole day's work.
                                                        Best, ZZ
P.S. I recommend rotating multiple external drives. I use three and keep one in my car. Yes, external drives can fail/ be stolen, etc.

T42 sound adapter driver issue (windows 98)

After installation of "Chipset Support" and S"oundMAX Integrated Digital Audio" drivers i get this error message in Properties of sound adapter:
"The NTKERN.VXD, MMDEVLDR.VXD device loader(s) for this device could not load the device driver. (Code 2.)
To fix this, click Update Driver to update the device driver"
I tried to unpack these files from win98 distributive's cab files to D:\Windiws\System\ (i set my windows 98 on D: while windows XP remained on D but nothing changed. Should this unpacking be done with some special utility? Maybe some additional steps are required?
Sorry and please redirect me if this issue is already adressed elsewhere on Lenovo forums, thanks in advance.

What I did with my A31 was d/l the latest Soundmax driver from Lenovo. For my A31 it was a winXP/Win2k version. Then unpack the file and note the folder. It's usually placed in the C\Drivers\.... Now for the 2 .exe files C:\Drivers\Audioverxxx\Setup.exe and C:\drivers\AudioVerxxx\SMAXWDM\XPWin2K\install.exe (something like that... your files may be different) make sure the compatibility is set to XPSP3. Then run the setup as as admin.
The problem I have found with most older TP specific drivers is Win7 wants signed drivers and these old ones are not. So many times you will have to force feed Win 7 using the update drivers, browse my computer, let me pick from the list, I have a disk. Then point to the folder with the inf file. Win7 will tell you the driver is unsigned but go ahead and install it. So far this method has worked on my A31

CD Driver Issues after installing 11.1.4

After installing Itunes 11.1.4, my HP computer, running Windows 7, could no longer find the CD drive. Upon investigation, someone suggested I update my registry to remove some entries. I did the following:
Start, enter regedit in search bar,
Open regedit
Left hand menus click HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
SYSTEM
CURRENT CONTROL SET
CONTROL
CLASS
Then need to find {4D36E965-E325........... (are more figures but not needed)
on right hand window see if there is an upper filter or lower filter.....right click and delete the values if either are there.
RESTART...
This worked, but now Itunes complains every time I open it, saying some registry settings are missing for my CD drivers. I've used Itunes on this computer succssessfully for years, until this upgrade. Apple, whatever you did, please undo it. Horrible release...

Driver issue-problem installing hardware

I installed the latest update to iTunes yesterday. Now, when I connect my IPod to my PC, I get the following error message:
"There was a problem installing this hardware-apple IPOD USB driver-An Error Occurred During the Installation of this device. The I/O operation has been aborted because of either a thread exit or an application request."
I have searched for an updated driver, but I keep getting the same error message as above. The iPod shows up in device manager, but with a yellow exclamation point next to it. It says "The drivers for this device are not installed. (Code 28)." I've also reinstalled the driver.cab file from my Windows installation disk, but none of this has resolved this issue.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I think I've resolved this issue. I used SYSTEM RESTORE to find a restore point from before I upgraded iTunes. When I went to start iTunes after restoration it didn't want to start, so I had to go to the Apple web site to download and reinstall iTunes. It seems to be working now though some of my music didn't initially sync from the library to my iPod because my computer wasn't "authorized" according to the error message. All I did then was attempt to play oe of the songs that wouldn't sync and I got prompted for my iTunes password, plugged that in and everything seems to have synced just fine.

Hard drive issue since installing new graphics card

Hello,
I've just bought and installed an MSI GeForce GTX 770 GAMING to replace my old SAPPHIRE HD 4890.
I uninstalled the ATI drivers and the version of PhysX already on the machine and have installed the latest drivers from the NVIDIA site and when I try to load Windows the hard drive appears to spin down and Windows just sits there (animations continue and I can move the mouse around). I can get into safe mode without a problem.
The rest of my setup is:
Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit OS
Dell 2408WFP monitor
Antec Three Hundred case
750W Be Quiet Dark Power Pro power supply
6 GB Corsair DDR3 RAM
Gigabyte EX58-UD4 motherboard
Intel Core i7 920 D0 processor
640 GB Western Digital Caviar Black hard drive
Samsung SH-223B optical drive
I have the latest BIOS update for my motherboard.
I was a bit concerned that a power supply issue was causing the hard drive to spin down when the graphics card comes into use, i.e. as soon as Windows starts. I can get to the login screen before it happens.
I wondered if the fact that the card connects to the power supply via two 12V x 20A connections and the graphics card requires 42A might be the problem. I think I misunderstood this when I checked the power supply initially as the table in the manual shows 60A total between all 12V connections, but I didn't notice that the individual connections are only 20A. Hope that makes sense, I'm a bit new to this!
If I need a new power supply can someone suggest one? If not can anyone think of any other reason for this problem?
I would appreciate any advice.

The card itself doesn't require 42A on +12v. These requirements are for an entire system with a GTX770. While we recommend single rail psus your one should still be sufficient.
Use >>Driver Fusion<< in safemode to safely remove the AMD and Nvidia driver and reboot. Then install Nvidia latest: http://www.nvidia.com/object/win8-win7-winvista-64bit-320.49-whql-driver.html

TS130 1105-19U RAID controller driver issues

I am trying to load WIndows 2008 Server Foundation on some ThinkServers. In a nutshell, after the Windows 2008 Foundation installer reboots, the server cannot find any bootable devices. I did this with the TS130 startup DVD, I did this manually loading the newest Intel driver and I tried this manually loading an older Intel driver. I even took the same driver that is used on another TS130 and that didn't work either.
I checked the RAID configuration and the logical drive exists.
Can someone recommend the exact driver I should be using for the Intel Rapid Storage Technology Controller or offer a suggestion on how to get Windows to recognize the controller?
thank you

Most recent BIOS must be installed and BIOS must be set to UEFI, not Auto or Legacy. It took me days to get mine to boot using dual 1.5TB drives. See this post --> http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/ThinkServer-Towers/TS130-RAID-Problems-with-Windows-Server-2008-R2-but-N...

X79A-GD65 8D - Won't detect drives during Windows Install

As the title suggests, Windows installer refuses to detect the SSD/HDDs in my system. I'm guessing I need to preload a driver but Im completely in the dark about what driver.

HP 15 freezing and suspected driver issue but installed drivers!

Hi there! Ive been having this issue ever since I bought this computer! Sometimes the video goes haywire and freezes all scratchy sideways like. Then other times when it crashes I get this most infamous warning sign popping up before it reboots itself!! "system thread not handled atikmdag.sys" So I googled that and all kinds of things about drivers came up. So I tried everything I could understand and ya, should be solved but apparently its not so now Im here. How are you? I could be better, getting nasty urges to destroy this computer! Holding on for dear life, in a life raft, pls save me! Only crashes when Im watching some videos or got multiple windows open. Cant handle nothing I guess! Thought A8's werent that bad once upon a time. I even replaced the computer right after I bought it while it was still on warranty! Was having the same issue on the old I had. Normally a recovery isnt that hard for me to handle but that may have been a few operating systems ago.
