A75MA-G55 raid not working

Hi, just got this board with an 3850 APU.
Runs fine, but whenever i change the SATA controller to RAID mode , the system will not boot.
I can create an array without problems , the RAID bios loads and recognises the array.
If i quickly press F11 after the RAID bios, i can get into the Boot Selection menu.
I can choose whatever device i want e.g. DVD or bootable USB sttick but it never loads.
The system keeps hanging @ the B6 post code in the bottom right corner.
Even without creating an array(just a single disk connected) the system still hangs.
So, looks like the AMD RAID bios doesn`t hook properly in the system bios.
In IDE and AHCI mode everything works fine..
Now the fun part...
If i put in a Dell SAS 5 card and connect my 2 Samsung 2TB disks on that, then i can create an array and boot from it without problems..
Is my board defective or is this just a bios issue to be ironed out?

Yes, the Dell card was just for testing purposes..
Bios updates are not out yet, since the board is so new (only available for a few days)
However, i have found a workaround for the problem.
If you use sata ports 3 till 6 , then you can use the AMD RAID without any problems..
So it is a bios bug after all.
p.s. if you use raid on ports 1 and 2, the raid disks do show in the bios as normal disks and as a raid array.
So there are 2 biosses trying to manage the disks in that case.
Once you use ports 3 till 6 the raid disks do not show as normal disks anymore, just as a raid array.
Maybe it`s a good idea to mention that in the manual.(or fix it in a bios update...)
Another bios bug is that bootable usb sticks are not shown in the UEFI boot section.
(if you want to install a 64 bit os with > 3 TB disk this is necessary)
DVD drive does show properly in UEFI section.

Promise 376 RAID not working

I guess I too am a victim of the Live update BIOS flash Windows version
Please give any assistance/ ideas you have
Thank you in advance
KC
PS: sorry if this is long, it is my first post.
Here are the sequence of events and what I have tried so far: (I think these are all in the correct sequence of events, I have been trying everything I could think of and that I could find on the MSI and AMD Forums)
Computer was built 4/03, no problems til 1/15/04
·   WinXP home SP1 On IDE3 (C: RAID0 alone) on Promise controller, D: (2) Seagate SATA 150 on SER1&2 (RAID0) (see below for specs)
·   Memory is the same, PSU same, other hardware, same (see below for specs)
·   I have noticed that you almost always point to PSU first, but since I ran this board for 10 months, I can’t understand it. I did add the VGA card, but I also disconnected the ZIP and IDE2-disc2. Power supply V&A below. And it was working fine before I flashed the BIOS.
1.   1/14/04 installed MSI Geforce FX5200 (so I could have duel monitors and upgrade to LCD in the future. NO PROBLEMS til next day
2.   Flashed BIOS 1.8 with Windows Liveupdate3. upon reboot and after resetup BIOS values, Array only detects 1 SATA drive, other is “?/?” no IDE3 harddrive detected, no OS detected, tried deleting array and redefining. Would “define”, but then not there after reboot.
3.   moved IDE harddrive to IDE1. fasttrak.sys cause BSOD/ and “IRQ not less than or equal to” BSOD until I unconnected the SATA drives from the Promise controller. Then, System boots okay everything there & working. Deleted array and redefining. Would “define”, but then not there after reboot. NO JOY
4.   Reinstalled/ Repaired WinXP and re-updated.
5.   Reloaded Promise drivers from disk (v10019) NO JOY FOR PROMISE CONTROLLER
6.   Reflashed with 1.8 BIOS via Floppy, reloaded Current Promise Drivers (19) that came with the MB NO JOY
7.   Disconnected G-FX5200 and everything else except basics and RAID. No Joy
8.   Tried disabling everything I was not using and also cache’s in the BIOS, Still nothing.
9.   Flashed with Mod BIOS 1.8 (full RAID support) thought it might help the controller. Loaded Mod drivers (v10037)
a.   mod BIOS is very cool as it added some featues, but still NO JOY for the controller.
10.   Ran SEAtools (Seagate utility) on drive, extensive test, no electrical or mechanical problems (SEA tools would see SATA discs when booting from floppy) NO JOY
11.   Upon boot-up WP wanted to run Scan disc on the RAID0 drives. It found a whole pile of bad or partial sections of files. I know (NOW) that I should not have let it run while the RAID was not working correctly.
12.   Took drives to reseller. They checked them out and said they were fine. But when I reinstalled them, Fastrak saw them as an array, but also had the IDE3 drive shown (which was still connected to IDE1) (I had asked them to reformat them, but I don’t think they did.) When I deleted and redefined, it hangs at the Fastrack BIOS/ flashing “_”
13.   Ran memtest86 on both memory sticks at the same time, 16 passes (10 hr overnight) NO errors.
14.   I then bought a Promise SATA150 TX2 + controller (the same as the mod BIOS has) and installed it.
15.   FINALLY I could see my drives. SATA 1 was listed as RAW 74.5G, SATA 2 was listed as 149G (the size of the Array that was on them) and had the folders there, but all the files ect.. Were in “found 000” files. No problem as everything is backed-up.
16.   Tried to reformat drives from XP. It did reformat Drive SATA1 (now D:), but would not let me reformat SATA2 drive. Still saw it as 149G and would not let me correct size back.
17.   Reformatted both SATA1& 2 (E:) from SEATools, as 80G (74.5G +/-) Reconnected on drive to the Promise on board controller, still sits at the Fastrack BIOS screen and flashes. I even tried letting it run for an hour (I had read it had taken someone that long to have it initialize) but still no go… Reinstalled the drives on the PCI controller, and of course they are there.
That is where I am at now. NO JOY L
NOW WHAT.

Try this disconnect all drives except the sata drives even zips etc.
The only drives that should be hooked up when setting up a raid is the raid drives as other drives including zip drives will mess things up I know it caused me to have to do reinstall of OS because I forgot this rule and had a zip hooked up. I couldn't even boot from my SATA because of the zip drive.
I emailed promise support and they said to unhook the zip drive and I didn't even tell them I had one.
The only drives you want hooked up or the CD, 3.5 Floppy and the SATA drives.
Now pop in your XP disk and boot from it doing the Ctrl F setup array and F6 thing install Fast track 375 drivers.
If you want the SATA to be your boot drive than go ahead and install your OS. Remember that your Bios must have SCSI in the boot order to work if you want them to be boot drives.
After OS is installed it will again need the fast track or sata drive disk again as the first time it is only installing the drivers to memory.
If the SATA drives or not to be used as a Boot disk you still must install the Fast Track 375 drivers but I don't know how that is done as I have never set a computer up that way.

K7D Master and Adaptec 2100S RAID not working

I have the K7D Master with 2 AMD 1900+ MP cpu's and 1 GB RAM. I can not get the Adaptec 2100S RAID SCSI card to work with this mainboard. I have taken out all of my PCI cards, and I have tried to place the 2100S in all of the PCI ports, but the card will not work. It seems that the bios of the K7D do not like the bios of the Adaptec card. The Adaptec works fine with the K7NPro motherboard, so it is nothing wrong with the card. I have just bought 2 x 15.000 rpm scsi disks, and I was really looking forward in having SCSI RAID with this excellent motherboard.
Does anybody have the same problem, or does anyone have a solution - it will be highly appreciated.

I am using anAdaptec 29160N with 3 scsi drives and this works like a charm. It is just the Adaptec 2100S which doesn't work, and the problem is related to the AGP port. I tried to remove my AGP card and installed a PCI video card - then suddenly the 2100S worked. It was assigned an IRQ and I could also get inside the bios/menu of the card.
I therefore decided to test different AGP cards - I tried Creative Banshee (3DFX chip), Creative GeForce 2 Ultra, Leadtek GeForce 3 Ti 500 and 3DFX Voodoo 3. The Adaptec card would not boot no matter what AGP card I tried. The machine hangs when the bios of the Adaptec is showing. I then tried 3 different PCI video cards (Geforce 2MX, ATI Rage3D and Matrox), and the 2100S worked with all of them.
So it seems that the Adaptec 2100S will not boot (hangs during bios message) as long as the AGP port is being used on the k7D - the question is: can MSI come up with a new bios that resolves this problem or do I have to live without my 2100S ?

Big Bang Xpower and Raid not working

Here's my build:
Corsair HX850w
BigBang Xpower
i7 930
Tuniq Tower Extreme
6gb Gskill 1600
4 WD 36gb raptor in striped array
1 WD caviar black 1tb drive
1 seagate 750gb drive
1 samsung combo drive
1 lite-on combo drive
EVGA Superclocked+ gtx470
Sound card that was included with mobo
All drives are SATA with the 1tb and 750gb drives on SATA6 ports SATA 7 & 8, (4) raptor drives on SATA 1,2,3,4 and 2 CD/DVD drives on SATA 5&6.
Now here's my problem. If I enable RAID in the bios under on-chip ata devices I can use CTRL+I to setup raid array. Upon reboot it won't boot from CD. Pressing DEL won't enter bios and I have to press clear cmos button on back and start over.
So with that said. If I DON'T create the array it will boot from Win7 DVD and I can install to 3 of the WD drives. Win7 doesn't show all 4.
I'm going nuts here. Please help.
Thank You,
-Fihn

Certainly do hope MSI Tech has an answer for both of you soon. The industry has made some terminology changes recently concerning SATA to reduce any confusion. SATA2 or SATA II has been changed to SATA 3.0, & SATA3 or SATA III has been changed to SATA 6.0. Also, it is my understanding setting AHCI in the bios must be done prior to installing Windows.

Then suggest doing some research. Not knowing what things do can make matters worse. Google can be your friend.

K8T Master2 FAR not working with Powercolor x1950?

Hello,
I already talked to the german MSI Support about this issue but they couldn't really help me. They first told me to install BIOS 1.4
and after that I had all that issues like only one processor in Windows, S-ATA RAID not working, Fan Control not working etc. and it also didn't help me in that issue, that BIOS costed me two whole days, but fortunately I found this forum and I'm back now on 1.3B5.
Here is my problem:
I upgraded from an Sapphire x800 PRO to a Powercoler x1950, but the system crashes and freezes when starting 3D apps whatever driver I use. I found this to be a very common problem and the solution I found on the internet is turning agp speed to 4x, turn agp read off, turn agp write on and turn agp fast write to off in the smartgard options in the CCC. CCC asks me to restart after that, when I say I will restart later I can play CoD4 and run 3Dmark06 with nice framerates ... but when I restart the computer I end up with no graphics driver. 640x480@4bit and the CCC pop ups that the current driver isn't supported. I tried this on a plain windows xp 32 pro install (only chipset drivers directly downloaded from VIA). When I do the same things (e.g. change the same settings in the CCC) with the x800 the graphics driver will not disappear after a restart.
Do you think I still got any chance to get the x1950 running in my system? ... and no, I will not install the latest bios
Best greetings from Germany,
S1lv3R

By device manager, select the display adapter and click "update" then manually specify driver location.{extract VGA drivers installation to some folder 1st}.
If you have 2x1950 listed, do that for each one.
Else do a new fresh OS installation.
P.S: Latest DX here ==> http://download.microsoft.com/download/5/c/8/5c8b7216-bbc2-4215-8aa5-9dfef9cdb3df/directx_aug2008_redist.exe
He only says that the driver I specified will not be installed as it is not more suitable as the one already installed. That's the point I don't understand. I guess the driver isn't really gone but just deactivated somehow but I'll do the reinstall now.
I'm irritated about what Wonkanoby said. Chipset driver before or after catalyst?
*edit* I tried now with installing the 8.7 first then doing the settings and reboot. After the reboot I got 640x480 again manually updated the driver to the 8.8 and he installed the driver but after a reboot the SMARTGARD started automatically again and the settings were gone .... so again the same situation with fast write turned on.

RAID support level for A75MA-G55 mainboard.

Do you know if the A75MA-G55 mainboard supports RAID5?. If it doesn't, do you know if MSI is planning on adding that feature in the near future?. Thank you very much!.

According to the manual only RAID 0, 1 & 10. We don't have any idea what MSI does or doesn't have plans for, we don't work for MSI we are users same as you.

RAID Utility does not work after Vista upgrade

Hi,
I have a Qosmio G30 with 2 HD 120GB each. After I upgraded to Windows Vista from Windows XP, the Toshiba RAID Utility does not work anymore. In WXp it worked OK, but in Vista there is no way I can mirror the HD. That is, the utility itself work, but the button that should say Mirror, or something like that is not shown. I have set the drives to RAID-1 in the BIOS, but no go.
Is there any way to get the software RAID to work again?

Hi,
just a little question: While installing vista, did you installed the RAID-driver at installation time? Maybe this could be the reason why RAID cannot be activated properly.
Please give some feedback, if you installed the RAID drivers for Vista during the installation..
Cheers

Please help me get RAID 1 working on FM2-A75MA-E35

I can't for the life of me figure out what I'm doing wrong.
Not trying to use EFI. Not even sure why I'd want to.
I have two identical SSD's and I want to mirror them.
The motherboard recognizes them fine.
I go into settings/advanced/intergrated peripherals
I set "SATA Mode" to "RAID Mode"
I set "Board SATA RAID Mode: to "Legacy ROM"
I save and reboot
Hit Ctrl-F to get into SATA raid utility:
View Drive Assignments shows both SSD's (also shows my optical drive)
LD View/LD Define menu shows no LD's
I hit Ctrl-C to define
Change RAID mode from 0 to 1
Initialization:Fast Gigabyte Boundary: On Sector Size:512B Read Policy:Read Ahead Write Policy:Write Back
Change the assignment for both drives from N to Y
Ctrl-Y to Save
Ctrl-Y again to name: "Sys"
Warning about reinitializing the MBR, CTRL-Y to continue
Pops up in LD View Menu and shows LD 1 set up in RAID 1 DRV 2 Capacity(GB) 126.99 Status Functional
Pretty straightforward. Should oughta work, right?
Well, upon doing this, and exiting the Raid setup utility, it goes back through POST, shows the screen that (if you read fast) shows my RAID array, shows the BIOS screen message, and then the screen goes black and there's a blinking cursor in the upper left and it's hung.
I can hit F11 during the BIOS screen and get to the boot menu. Doesn't matter what I tell it to boot to, whether I tell it the CD or the USB stick, same result, the screen goes black, blinking cursor in the upper left, and we're hung. I've completely lost my ability to get it to boot to anything.
When I'm not in RAID mode, everything is fine (well sorta) ... I can boot to the CD or USB stick, I can install Windoze 7 onto a drive, I can boot to that drive, etc. I say "sorta" because it seems there's a couple of bugs. The boot order doesn't seem to work, I've got to hit F11 if I want it to boot to something other than the hard drive, and what's more, if I set anything to UEFI, I end up booting into the EFI shell and even after changing the setting back I can never get it to boot again until I clear the CMOS. So there appears to be some BIOS bugs, but hey, at least I can work around them.
But I NEED Raid 1! Critical data that's changing constantly throughout the workday. I need to mirror the drives. Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks

Well, I appreciate the response, but you kind of missed the core of the problem: Once the board is put into RAID mode, you lose your ability to boot to ANYTHING. You get a black screen with a blinking cursor. You can't boot to a CD or thumb drive to even install windows at that point. You're dead in the water. So it's got nothing to do with the drivers or anything like that, it's a BIOS issue.
Anyway, I got no response here, and I got no response from the support department either, and I was ready to send it back when in desperation I sent an email to the reviews department, the folks who respond to reviews on Newegg and the like (they post their email address in those responses). Voila, instant help, accurate information, and I got it going.
I'm a little bit annoyed with myself because I should have known better than to believe their "Live Updater" utility when it told me my V2.1 BIOS was the latest. An update to 2.2 as suggest by the reviews department solved the issue and RAID started working. Moral of the story, don't believe Live Updater. Go to the web site and check for yourself.
One other note, along the same lines. The printed manual that comes with the board has no description of configuring RAID at all. I went to the web site to get a newer manual to check it, but saw the manual was version 1.0. So I concluded there's only one version. Stupid stupid stupid! The version online is newer than the printed one and has a description. I figured this out myself but it took me a bit. Again, moral of the story, look deeper than what they're telling you on the surface. Live and learn.
The board actually works quite well now and I'm happy.

Intel(R) ESB2 SATA RAID Controller not working out of the box

Dear all,
I'm using, for my tests, an old server with a supermicro X7DBN Server motherboard.
This motherboard comes with an embedded Intel(R) ESB2 SATA RAID Controller.
When I try a native installation from the technical preview DVD it sees the RAID1 volume that has been created (2 disk mirror) but when I select it to proceed with the installation there is an unknown error stating that it's impossible to write to this disk.
The same installation works perfectly with 2012R2 and the out of the box driver provided bin the install media.
An update from the previously installed 2012R2 to the Windows Server Technical Preview also works without problem.
It would make sens for MS to revert to the driver version embedded in 2012R2 for Intel(R) ESB2 SATA RAID Controller which is:
Name : Intel(R) ESB2 SATA RAID Controller
Date : 10.08.2010
Version : 8.6.2.1025
inf section : iaStor_Inst_RAID
Device ID : PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_2682&CC_0104

Hi,
Thank you for the information. As you said from the behavior it seems that the build-in drivers of Windows Server Technical Preview will not work with the specific motherboard hence the RAID1 cannot work well.
I'll log the issue down.
If you have any feedback on our support, please send to [email protected]

K8N Neo2 + NVRAID + Promise Raid Controller = not working right

I'm trying to get my Promise Raid card working with nvraid enabled and I've finally given up. It works fine with NVRAID disabled though. I have 2xSata on Raid 0 and 2xIDE on raid 0+1. i also have two other IDE's on non-raid and two atapi cdrom drives. In order for me to use all of my storage devices, i need the promise controller to boot. The Prommise RAID controller's BIOS will not boot with nvraid enabled. WindowsXP detects the drives, but if i try to mount them via PAM (Promise Arry Management), it says one of the drives is corrupt/not working. but if i have both the ide raid hd's on the nvraid w/ sata raid, then it works fine. I just won't be able to use my cdrom drives. if anyone has a fix for this, please let me know. and sorry for the long descriptions. thanks.

Why don't you go into BIOS and alter the IRQ manually for that PCI card, because probably that card is using the same IRQ as the nVidia one.
Be well....

Areca Raid Controller - ArcHTTP - does not work

Areca Raid Controller - ArcHTTP - does not work - in need your help !!!
I am running Win 7pro, 64 bit, 24 MB RAM
Areca 1680 controlls Raid 3 7TB and Raid0 1TB. McRaid works fine.

5. after filling in user pandpassword ....nothing happens, the website doesnot open. It seems that i could not be found.
Any idea, thanks for help
klfi

This is likely do to new Phishing or Popup rules in IE9. Most web based controller management utility's do not show up as a valid website since they use local host or internal IP addresses. I know Areca has in the past used Java for their utility which also trips many of those rules. Try adding the web utility as a trusted website.

Problem with Bios 2.0 MSI A75MA-G55

hello, I need help ....
A few days ago I did the update the BIOS of my MSI-A75MA-G55, which is 2.0 and he has presented problems. It has a processor (AMD A-8 3870K) before trouble could overclock to 4.0GHz, but now it goes from 3.6ghz: (... By increasing to over 3.6ghz pc does not start and I have to clear the CMOS for reuse ... the second problem is with the GPU hd6550D now I can not run any game at medium quality such as "far Cry 3" or "Bioshock Infinite" and before if I could .... the previous BIOS version was the V13 or 1.3 which everything worked.
The characteristics of my pc are:
- MSI Motherboard-A75MA-G55 (MS-7696)
- 3870K Processor A-8
- 2x 4GB Corsair Vengeance DDR3-1333 (667MHz)
- Hard Drive WD 750GB 64MB Cache
- Thermaltake CLP0575 Frio OCK
Thank you in advance ...!
Sorry do not know much English ...!
Note: I did a BIOS flash, with the tool provided here, to downgrade the BIOS version and I could not because at the end and restart the PC had always the same version.

As the problem is only bios related from your report tell MSI about it so the issue can be fixed: >>How to contact MSI.<<

Hyper-v Miniport switch driver not working

Bought a brand new MSI Z97 G55 SLI motherboard to install tech preview on. All went well except it has error installing driver for Hyper - V Network Switch Default Miniport (ROOT\VMS_MP\0000)
Comes up with error 39 and says some PNP devices will not work till it's fixed. I can see the SSD with windows on it fine but cannot find the three 2 TB hard drives I am trying to install as raid drives. Guessing this error is why the drives
are invisible. Any idea what I could do to update the driver as automatic search just says best driver is installed already. I don't know where else to search to find a suitable driver to reinstall it with.
ALso Norton Antivirus trial and MSI usb 3.0 installer on the MSI motherboard installation disk said they could not install as the system did not meet the specifications. Updated all drivers from MSI website several times and those 2 failed each time.
That would be because it's not the version of windows they were made for I suppose, however I connected a USB 3.0 external drive into front ports and it works fine despite the error.

Hi Broozer,
For Device error 39, you may take a try to uninstall the driver (with Device Manager) and reinstall it, then check if issue could be solved.
For anti-virus, if no any specific protection needed, Windows Defender is good enough for us to deal with the daily work.
Also please take use of Windows Feedback Tool to submit what you have encountered.
