Bios RAID Partition Not Detected at Boot

Hello everybody,
I've got a problem that's really a minor annoyance. I have two 1TB hdds set up in RAID-0 and my system (Arch x64) on a separate ssd. When I boot up, the RAID volume is not detected automatically. I have to manually run partprobe, then the partition is detected and I can mount it as expected.
I've been unsuccessful as to finding a solution and was hoping you guys could help. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance, and let me know if you need any more information.

Yeah, it's a Gigabyte GA-Z77X-D3H motherboard, and I'm using the two Marvell sata ports for the RAID. It's detected and works flawlessly in Windows; the RAID0 volume is formatted NTFS.
And, like I said, when I load up Arch, after I run partprobe as root, I can mount and use the volume just as well as I can in Windows. I'd just like to have it all done automatically.

Cd rom not detected in boot device selection list on hp compaq 2230s
unable to install operating system please help

Hi,
If the CD/DVD drive is not showing as a bootable device, then it could well be a hardware failure of the drive itself. The first thing you could try is to reset the bios defaults, save the changes and see if this helps. Next, I would check the connection of the CD/DVD drive in case that is the problem.
On the link below is the service manual for your PC. Page 50 explains how to remove, and if necessary, replace the CD/DVD drive. It also has the parts numbers should you require a replacement.

Hard disk not detected during booting or also it does not show in boot menu.

hard disk not detected during booting or also it does not show in boot menu please tell

you may have a failed hard drive or bad cables, i would check first to see if the hard drive is powering on. if it doesn't try a different power connection, and if it still doesn't start spinning i would say that it is bad and get a new hard drive. If
it does start spinning and just isn't being recognized, try a different sata port if you have the option or a different sata cable all together.

Hello all,
I, too, found this oversight on the part of Lenovo to be quite distressing. It is possible to upgrade the X61 BIOS with a USB thumb drive. I have provided directions at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=817897
The above tutorial is aimed towards Ubuntu Linux users. However, I believe that users of Vista should be able to follow along. Please let me know if you have any questions... the process is simple enough that it should be possible with any OS out there right now.

RAID disk not detected by Windows XP

I have installed a single disk connected to the RAID controller on my K7T266 Pro2-R Mobo.
The RAID controller (that is enabled in BIOS) detects the disk, reports a correct size and reports it as "Functional". I have used the BIOS utility to assign an "Array" to the single disk drive.
I downloaded the latest drivers from this site and I have installed the drivers in Windows XP Pro (a number of times...) In the Device Manager, I get a "Windows XP Promise FastTrak100(tm) Controller(PDC20265)" under the "SCSI and RAID controllers" folder. The driver seems to work (at least the Device Manager claims "This device is working properly.")
The disk itself does not show up under the "Disk drives" folder in the Device Manager. The "Disk Management" in Windows XP also treats the disk as non-existent.
When I tried to install the "FastCheck Monitoring Utility", I got error messages "Service Install - Unknown Error". When trying to run the utility, it says "FastTrak controller or driver not found".
The event log says nothing of interrest.
I use the FastTrak PCI version in another system running Windows 2003 Server and there everything works OK. But that driver is almost a year newer...
What's wrong? Has anybody got the on-board FastTrak controler to work in WinXP? Any hints on what to do to make it work?

I just happened ( ) to have a second identical disk drive laying around (Christmas time you know...) so I installed it in the system. If the driver has any "single disk restrictions", it should work now - shouldn't it?
The BIOS RAID setup happilly discovered the new disk and I configured the two disks as a stripe set.
Windows XP? Nothing. The disks simply doesn't exist. There must be something wrong with the WinXP driver, but I can't figure out what. I've scanned the Internet and there seems to be a number of people having the same problem, but I haven't found anyone that have a solution.
MSI? Promise? We have a problem here...

If the hdd is no longer detected in the bios then the possibility is that you have a crashed hdd and therefore need to replace it. Just to be sure, go to bios and set everything to default. Save and exit. See if you can now see the hdd in the bios.

Windows partition not availible on boot screen

Windows has installed and works great, except I can only access it if it's the default on start up. When I press option, the only option I see is the default mac partition.
I can see the drive on my desktop as well as in Preferences >> Startup disk, but not on the boot screen.
The partition was created with the bootcamp assistant and is FAT 32.

I have the exact same problem. I just bought a new Macbook (with the "Santa Rosa" processor) and installed Windows XP. Everything in both Mac & Windows OS work fine except when I boot up the computer and hold down the OPTION key, I only see the Mac OS partition but not the Windows partition. I've made sure to install (and even re-installed) the Apple drivers in Windows from my Macbook installation disk.
I use a workaround and choose WINDOWS as my startup disk in my SYSTEM PREFERENCES in the Mac, and use the BOOT CAMP control panel in Windows to go back to the Mac. But I used to be able to use the OPTION key prior to the Leopard upgrade. Any help anyone can provide will be much appreciated!!

[SOLVED]: wusb600n v2 adaptor not detected on boot

Hi,
I've only just installed arch linux. Only thing installed, on top of base and base-devel, is yaourt netcfg ntfs-3g-ar and the driver for the mentioned wireless adapter (and all the dependencies for these).
I'm having issues with the wusb600n v2 wireless adapter, I can't automatically connect to a network on boot using netcfg and network-profiles because it isn't detected on boot (can't find interface ra0).
Just after booting and using lsusb shows that the adapter isn't connected, though it is.
Unplugging and replugging in the adapter after booting up it shows up in lsusb and I can then connect to the internet as normal.
Just wondering if anyone can give any suggestions as to why it isn't being detected during the boot process.
edit: if there is any additional information that needs to be provided let me know
edit: I think it may be a dodgy usb port, plugging the device in a different usb socket and everything seems to be working fine now ......Hope everyone has a good Christmas!
Thanks,
Quattrix

Partitions on raid-array not recognized on boot

Hey there,
I already had my share of problems with my raid setup and kernel/udev updates, but this one is new:
I have a raid1 setup with several partitions on the array which get recognized as /dev/md0p1, /dev/md0p2, etc.
My root-device is on /dev/md0p2 by the way.
After the last kernel-update I get dropped in the rescue shell at boot because the message "waiting 10 seconds for device /dev/md0p2" timed out. In the rescue shell I can see, that indeed the array is properly assembled (cat /proc/mdstat) is fine, but somehow the corresponding partitions (md0p1, sda1, sdb2, etc) are not linked in /dev or recognized at all (/proc/partitions).
However one execution of "blkid" seems to trigger some udev-event and afterwards all partitions and links magically appeared.
Has anyone any idea what causes this behaviour and how to fix it? It would be very enlightening to know which part of my system is actually responsible for setting up the partition-links (udev?).

Sorry guys, I've been inundated with problems lately.
Anyway, to answer your questions, yes I've swapped out everything.
As it stands right now, I have green lights on everything both sides even show up on IP and in ARD. The only issue now is that I can't see half of my RAID in DiskUtilities from my Xserve. I can format one side and not the other.
My server is an older G5 single 2GHz, build 7W98 and 2.5GB memory, (for reference).
Thank you for your input. I appreciate it.

Toshiba satellite windows 8/8.1 reset partition not 'detected' by window and cannot refresh.

it is not the first toshiba i purchase and i will not be able to purchase since i quitted my previous brand due to problems always surfacing (acer always break, toshiba was supposed to be decent).
But now i need to refresh window and i past over 60hours to try to fix the issue to arrive to this point : i need to refresh windows back to original state, and windows do not 'know' the recovery partition is right under its nose (doupt it is corrupted, i made a backup image of the current hard drive just in case, and right after i did trigger the refreshing back to factory, it worked, but windows 8.1 'broke' a few minutes aways from the final step to download windows 10...
Hard drive could not be recovered so i had to CMD/Clean the hard drive and re-install the old 'slowered/infected' image backup i had and now it refuse to detect the partition wit the window refreshing part.
Snapshot show the disks, partition at the end, the 11go size is the refreshing partition and wit another program it can be seen it is NOT empty...
Partiton 1-2-3 are the current system that slowered and need to be refreshed, i need to refresh and recover my recovery partiton...
i am also downloading windows 8.1 enterprise Iso
(9600.17050.WINBLUE_REFRESH.140317-1640_X64FRE_ENTERPRISE_EVAL_FR-FR-IR3_CENA_X64FREE_FR-FR_DV9.ISO)
Il burn it on a DVD to be able to use it as the recovery console is kind of down aswell due to the same issue wi the refreshing not being accessible. having some thecnician skills myself, if you specefy how to fix it i can, i been searching for solutions and doing them for the past week and there went all my vacations... but seriously, i am NOT going to pursashe another toshiba wen this current notebook lifeline end if i cannot get this fixed soon. i left others brands permanantly due to trouble it caused and forced me to become thechnician to fix them. i know it part have to do wit window 8 and 8.1 but why dint you just let us choice to get window 7 wen pursashing it back in the recent years ? oh and btw i dont know WHY my keyboard suddently inducing ''dual different keys'' even on the Bios, so if there is also some info/fix about this or even inform me of were and price to get the keyboard PIECE delivered so i can change it (no, extended waranty ended few months ago, and i am NOT sending the only comp i have by the mail i rather never fix it and change to another brand as i need the comp for my work all time, i cannot let it go for even few days)

Created partition not showing up (BOOT CAMP)

I'm in the process of installing XP, but now I'm stuck. I'm being asked which partition I would like to install XP on to, but the one I had just created spcifically for it is not to be seen. Only one (my main 131/250gigs) partition shows.
My brand-freakin-new iMac is completely updated (yes, the firmware too.)
Donwloaded the newest version of Boot Camp
Followed the steps
Created a 32gig partition for Windows
Popped in the XP install disc and restarted
Here's where I'm stuck, (along with the disc inside, mind you)
What now? And how the heck do i get the disc out?
iMac Core Duo Mac OS X (10.4.8)

If you restart and hold down the mouse button the disk should pop out.
Just an idea for you. There is an entire Apple Discussion forum dedicated to Boot Camp and Windows XP.
Whereas, not everyone here with an Intel iMac has installed, tried to install or has experience with BC & XP, everyone there has or at least has an interest. You may attract help more quickly there.
The Forum is at the bottom of the main Apple Discussions page under Windows Compatible Technology.

XP partition not detecting ethernet

I have recently installed XP2 partition using bootcamp. Everything works fine but the windows is not able to detect the ethernet connection!

While we all have MacBooks in this forum not all of us use BootCamp. There's a BootCamp Support Community where everybody uses BootCamp. You should also post this question there to increase your chances of getting an answer.
