[Athlon64] Device Manager shows "Other devices: ?(!) RAID Controller"

(This was previously posted to the Operating Systems forum, when I realized it's not really a Windows problem)
In my Windows XP Device Manager, under Other devices, I see ?(!) RAID Controller.
I don't have a RAID controller, and my Serial ATA hard drives are connected to the SATA VIA ports. I've been told that this can be toggled in the BIOS. Now, this started happening after I flashed to BIOS 2.0, and the BIOS isn't exactly straight forward to me. Therefore, I'm having trouble finding that option.
Has anybody had a simliar problem? Any ideas?

=== PROBLEM RESOLVED ===
The two BIOS Default options I have are "Load High Performance Options" and "Load BIOS Setup Options". I chose "High Performance". It was somewhat a two-part procedure.
I entered the BIOS Options, and then Boot Sequence. The available options were: Floppy, CD, or BBS(0) RealTek Boot Agent, but not the Serial ATA hard drives. So I set the Sequence as 1) Floppy, 2) CD, 3) N/A, and 4) Check for other devices: Yes.
I rebooted, and it located the Serial ATA drives and proceeded to the RealTek Boot Agent anyway. I bypassed the Agent by pushing ESC. I entered Windows XP to find that, under Device Manager's SCSI & RAID Controllers, I had one entry: VIA Serial ATA RAID Controller, and no other entries. As of now, Device Manager lists a perfect hardware record.
Now to correct the Boot Sequence. I restarted and re-entered BIOS. I entered Boot Sequence again to find that my Serial ATA drives are now selectable. I changed the Sequence to 1) Floppy, 2) CD, 3) BBS(0) SATA Maxtor, and 4) Check for other devices: No.
Now my system bootup behaves as it should. No lengthy IDE device check and no RealTek boot agent check. Windows XP is also in check! :-)
This was kind of tricky. This doesn't appear to me to be a widespread problem, but I think we oughta put this in a sticky or something. I wanted to say thanks to everybody who contributed to this thread for their help! I'm going to document this fix. LOL

HT5628 After running bootcamp, DVD drive is detected by Windows 8. But after installing drivers, no longer can detect. Device Manager shows that DVD drive is unplugged! Drivers in Bootcamp "removed" the DVD drive!

After running bootcamp, DVD drive is detected by Windows 8. But after installing drivers, no longer can detect. Device Manager shows that DVD drive is unplugged! Drivers in Bootcamp “removed” the DVD drive. I think there is an issue because I reinstalled Windows 8. If I don't install driver, then I have reduced functionality (no Apple keyboard, no sound etc), but once I install driver, I lose my DVD drive.

Hi, guys, I have had the exact same problem since the summer of 2010. Here's what I was able to find out.
Deleting upper/lower filters, running all those Fix Ya programs and other Microsoft crap is useless. This problem is most certainly has nothing to do with registry of any software on your computer. I took my HP 9620us to a couple of repair places and, they tried a lot of things and it appears that the root of this problem is a faulty motherboard connection. Of course, it costs about 400 bucks to fix it so I'm not sure I want to pay this kind of money.
Anyway, if somebody was able to fix it PLEASE post here to let us know. Again I am 99 per cent sure it's some piece of hardware in the motherboard.

My DVD drive not reading DVDs, but can read some DVDs with data on it. Device manager shows no errors.
I tried to reinstall driver.
I downloaded new codec
I tried Microsoft FIX IT
Nothing worked.
Need some help.
Thank you!!

Hi Albos, This is a known problem. These superdrives die after a while. See the various threads on this site and the internet. I have the same problem with my Imac 20" 2.16 ghz. Just wants to burn and read cd's. Its has to do with the laser. For DVD an CD are two different laser and the one for DVD's has probably died in yours (as it did in mine). I bought an external LG burner and problem solved. (And a lot cheaper than replacing the superdrive)
Hope this helps you.

My computer (Win 7) recognises my ipod but when Itunes is automatically started the ipod is removed from "my Computer" and is not recognised in itunes, my device manager states he device is being "uninstalled by window" error 21, what is happpening.

Are you plugging the iPod into a high powered USB 2.0 port on the back of your PC? Have you tried a different USB cable?
What happens if you try to reset the device with it still connected to the PC?
How to reset iPod
Has this iPod ever worked on this PC or is this the first time you have time you have tried connecting it?
Have you carefully worked through each and every single suggestion in this Apple support document?

2nd HDD not recognized in Win7 Disk Manager, Shows in Device Manager, BIOS, Win7 Repair CD

Hello,
I am trying to add a newly purchased HDD to my laptop as the secondary HDD. The primary is a 160 GB SSD.
Primary SSD: Intel 160 GB SSD model SSDSA2BW160G3H
Secondary HDD: WD 750 GB 7200 RPM SATA/300, Model WDBLHJ7500ANC-NRSN
Laptop: HP Pavilion dv7t-7000 Quad 17.3" laptop
Laptop Config: Intel i7-3720QM 2.6 GHz Quad Core, 8 GB RAM, nVidia GT650M, 160 GB SSD
Laptop BIOS: F.24
Laptop Date of Birth: 5/24/2012
OS: Win 7 Prof x64
Shows up in BIOS (can run diagnostics OK).
Shows up in Win 7 Prof Device Manager.
Does NOT show up in Disk Manager.
Checked device drivers for Win7 Prof Device Manager HDD, have the latest.
Checked service manual, can't see anything that I missed.
Booted with Active@BootDisk (Win PE rescue disk), drive showed up as uninitialized.
Initialized drive, partitioned (one large), formatted NTFS.
Booted with Win 7 Repair Disk (Win PE), can see the drive in command prompt, able to write a text file to it OK.
Still won't show up in Win 7 Prof in Disk Manager.
Any ideas? Maybe a firmware upgrade for the laptop? Some kind of incompatibility with the HDD and SDD such as different dirve modes (don't believe that Win7 has issues with IDE versus AHCI devices)?
I had trouble adding a 2nd HDD to my dv7-6000 laptop; it finally just showed up months later. Is this common with HP laptops?
I am stumped and any help is appreciated. I checked the Internets and didn't see anything other than HW issues. I need this to work for the new semester that started today.

More testing:
WD Data Lifeguard (Western Digital's HDD diagnostics) also won't see the HDD after booting with Win 7 Prof off of the SSD.
Moved the HDD cable from the 2nd HDD to the primary header (SSD disconnected). Was able to install another instance of Win7 on the 2nd HDD OK; this proves that the new WD HDD and the secondary cable are OK. Moved the cable back to the 2nd header (still no SSD) and the computer booted off of the secondary HDD connected to the secondary header OK.
Added the SSD back to the primary header and booted into the instance of Win7 off of the SSD. Disk Management can't see the 2nd HDD, WD Data Lifeguard can't see the 2nd HDD; however, Device Manager is able to see the 2nd HDD OK.
Ran Intel SSD toolbox on SSD; no issues. Ran WD Align by Acronis on SSD (checks for advanced format alignment of 4K boundaries); it's already aligned to 4k boundaries.
Connected HDD to pri header, booted Win7 Ultimate on HDD. Ran WD Data Lifeguard on HDD; it's fine. Booted into WD Align by Acronis CD, ran WD align against HDD; it's already aligned to 4k boundaries.
Put HDD on pri header, SSD on secondary header and booted into Win7 Ultimate on HDD. Able to see both drives in Dask Management.
Put SSD back onto primary header, HDD back onto 2nd header, booted into Win7 Prof on SSD. Disk Management can't see the HDD again...
Updated laptop BIOS from F.24 to F.2D rev A (Install Shield Wizard confirms that it is for Win7 x64 as well as Win 8.1). Didn't fix the issue...
Ran Intel Driver Update Utility. I have the Intel RST (Rapid Store Technology) driver v 11.0.0.1032. Did not state that I needed to upgrade this driver. This is latest version on the HP website.
Everything works except having the SSD connected to the primary header, having the HDD connected to the secondary header, booting into Win7 Prof on the SSD and trying to see the HDD in Disk Management. Unfortunately, this is the configuration that I need to work.
Any thoughts on what is causing this? Hardware issue with HP Laptop? Power supply issue? Bad HDD controller? Bad install of Win7 Prof on SSD (appears to run fine otherwise).

Windows Device Manager shows several driver problems

I have the latest EFI Firmware update and Boot Camp 1.1.1. Windows XP Pro SP2 shows problems in the Device Manager.
(1) What's the USB Human Interface problem? I have no funny USB devices connected.
(2) What's with the yellow question mark at Base System Device?
(3) I have four PCI Express ports flagged with problems.
I'm guessing that the Boot Camp Driver CD has omitted to provide for these devices. I am surmising that many others who have the Mac Pro also see these problems.
Is there any way of dealing with these and fixing the problems? Like, can I download the required drivers from Intel? I have already downloaded and installed INF Update Utility [INFINST_AUTO.EXE] version 2.11.15.0. This was no help in resolving the problem.

I too have had issue with Bluetooth keyboard, specifically the Apple keyboard. It seems to be running ok at the moment but it took me a while for it to pair properly. I still have no idea as to what I did differently that made it work. I think it was pairing them without a code.
Fortunately for me I use Parallels mostly as it's far more convenient so I'm not too bothered about Boot Camp driver support at this moment. When it comes time to play some games though that'll probably change.
The thing with Boot Camp is to be a little patient. Yes we'd like Apple to have sorted everything out a month ago although the software is still in beta form and does not need to be finalised until the realese of Leopard. Hopefully they will get things together sooner rather than later given the clock is ticking.

Playbook is faling to communicate using Desktop SW but BB Device Manager Shows PB as connected

I'm running the Playbook OS 2.0.1.358 and Desktop SW 7.1.0.32 on Windows 7. I've uninstalled and reinstalled DTSW. I've tried 3 different USB cables. The Blackberry Device Manager sees the playbook and shows it as connected.
It's the DTSW that says it canot "communicate" with the device. I've tried to run the Update that it offers to install, but that fails too.
This was working a month ago. Any ideas? Thanks!

Already had done that. The weird thing here is that the BB Device Manager in the system tray has no problem seeing the PB.
Also, am I missing something or is USB the only support for PB? In the DTSW Bluetooth Configuration, it says that "this version of BB Desktop SW doesn't Support Bluetooth connections with BlackBerry Playbook tablets."
Bluetooth Bridge with my Torch is working great.

Qosmio x300-15u: device manager shows 1x 9800M GTS and 1x 9400M

Hi.
I have a Qosmio x300-15u and i have noticed in device manager it only shows 1x 9800m gts and 1x 9400m!!!
Is it right that i should have 2x 9800gts cards showing?
The spec for this machine should have 2x 9800 cards sli (whatever that means) So a total of 1GB video ram.
I'm sure im not getting the full performance of my laptop.
When i go into nvidia control panel it does not say anything about sli.
Btw; I am not running vista anymore.....
i now run windows 7 ultimate 64.
Please help me .
Thanks

Are you using the Display Drivers supplied by Toshiba on the Toshiba Website? Or are you using the nVidia supplied ones?

Device manager shows device but installation CD can't find a Creative prod

Well, I suppose that the title of this thread says it all. My device manager recognizes the Creative product I have in one of the PCI slots, but when I insert the CD to install all of the programs I get an error message that reads "can't find a creative labs product on the system". Why would the computer be able to detect the device but not the CD? I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the device but that doesn't help.
The kicker is, my sound card worked just fine two weeks ago and I've not changed anything in the system.
I did a search on this topic and other people have run into the same problem but there weren't any solutions posted. I'd really appreciate ANY help as this is a VERY frustrating problem.

this is the glitch I think I had when I installed my XFI Platinum. I followed the instructions by loading all the hardware BEFORE loading any software. So now the card and the bay are installed and I boot up. The instructions tell you to cancel installing hardware at this point. The instructions say to put the CD in and install the software. Like I usually do I do a Custom install. Incidentely it only leaves out a few software options like the Volume Panel and some other stuff I didnt feel I would want. So when I put the disk in the first of 4 items as I remember it was the XFI software which is the mode changer and panel software and more. This is where I got the message you got so I skipped to the next item to install.
I loaded the next item which was I think the media player and then I didnt load the next 2 because I didnt want them. AOl on my desktop and something else.
So I figured it may have loaded drivers at this point but not the software because the card officially was in the system yet. So I rebooted.
When it rebooted It detected the Card and a couple of other devices I think at this point.
So obviously I figured that now the software would load since the card was officially recognized. I put the CD in and selected the first option and it then loaded the XFI software.
Yea this is the one thing I found in the installation as a little confusing and not documented.
Maybe this will help you.Message Edited by Crashman on 05-25-2006 2:3 AM

Satellite L550-11K - Device manager shows wrong CPU

I have bought the Satellite L550-11K to myself and because stan it has a p8700 processor with 2.53 GHz. However, in the device manager it stands 2 times a T4200 processor with 2 GHz!!!?

Hey,
I had the same issue that the CPU in my desktop computer wasnt listed properly so I have removed the CPU from device manager (right click > uninstall) and restart the notebook. You have to remove both entries.
After restarting the CPU will be recognized again and this time it should be listed properly. For me it worked. :)
Another question, are you running the preinstalled OS or have you installed another OS?

IPod appearing in Device Manager as unknown device

Hi, I'm currently using an iPod Nano 4th Gen. and it is appearing in Device Manager as an unknown device. I found this out after the error message "USB device not recognised" or something, and followed instructions. I'm currently clueless on what to do. My OS is Windows 8. When I go into properties of the unknown device (iPod) the device status is: Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43). And in details, I get: USB\DEVICE_DESCRIPTOR_FAILURE
If you need any more information to help me, please do not hesitate to request it. I just really would like this issue to be solved. Thank you in advance.

Thank you for the update, passionflower
I think next would be a good idea to shutdown the computer, and disconnect everything from it. Let it sit for a minute or two, then plug it all back up and turn the computer on, then try again.
Next I would start troubleshooting the USB ports on the computer. I would start with this troubleshooting.
On the Start menu, click Control Panel.
Double-click the System icon.
Click the Hardware tab.
Click Device Manager.
Scroll down the list of devices to the Universal Serial Bus controllers
Click the plus icon next to the Universal Serial Bus controllers.
Double-click one of the indented USB Root Hub entries.
Click the Power Management tab.
Deselect the "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power" option.
Click the OK button at the bottom of the window.
Restart the computer.
From: iPod not recognized when connected to Windows laptop over USB
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1401
And then this troubleshooting
Plug the device directly into a high-power USB 2.0 port on the computer. If possible, use a USB port on the back of the computer.
Avoid plugging the device into a keyboard, display, or standalone hub. The USB ports on these accessories may be low-power or only offer USB 1.x connections.
If you are using an accessory, remove the accessory and connect the device to the computer using only the Apple 30-pin to USB Cable or Lightning to USB Cable.
If you have access to additional Apple 30-pin to USB Cable or Lightning to USB Cables, try testing with another if the first one doesn't work.
Restart your computer and device. To restart your device:
Hold the power button until "slide to power off" appears. Slide to power off your device. When it is off, press the Sleep/Wake button to turn it back on.
Disconnect all USB devices from your computer, except for your keyboard and mouse. Then reconnect the iOS device. If the issue is resolved, reconnect other USB devices, testing after each connection.
From: iOS: Troubleshooting USB connection
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1286
If you have another computer you can also test the iPod Nano there to help isolate whether the issue is with the iPod or the computer.
And just in case the issue is still not resolved, I want to thank you for using the Apple Support Community. Due to the nature of your issue you may find more information by using another one of Apple's support resources - https://expresslane.apple.com/GetproductgroupList.action.
All the very best,

If I set up icloud will my data from my device download onto other device on the same account via icloud?

I Don't want my data from my phone to backup on my other devices on the same account via icloud. will this happen if I set up icloud?

Then on the device you don't want the information uncheck the iCloud items in the list.

Is an iOS 8 update downloaded in iTunes for one device applicable to other devices?

I am updating to iOS 8 and have many iOS devices. If I download an update for one in iTunes, can I also use that download for the other devices or I have to download an update for each device? Thanks.

IIf all of your devices are the same, you don't. But even iPhone 5s with different carrier may need different software.

Profile manager shows 'new device' instead of device name.

Have just enrolled an iphone into profile manager for - oddly it just isnt showing up as it's proper name and attempts to 'update info' just hang. Our other deivces continue just fine. I can't figure out why this iphone is such a problem. I've restored back to factory iOS in tunes and its still just showign as 'new device'.
Anyone else seen this?
OS X 10.8.2, Server App 2.1.1

I'm having the same issue now with a device that's on the latest iOS (6.1.1)
Symptom:
1. Enroll device, no issue
2. Install Trust Profile and Settings for Everyone, no issue
3. Put user in proper Device Group, those settings never push down. Always show "sending".
Troubleshooting:
1. Completed wiped iPhone and manually installed new OS - same issue
2. Removed user's account from our Apple Server, recreated account, reenrolled device - same issue.
3. Replaced the iPhone hardware - same issue
4. We have tried these steps both on the cellular data connection and on a unrestricted wifi connection - same issue
Woudl really like to get this resolved. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
