Can't install Intel Matrix Storage Driver on Vista 64 bit P-35 NEO-2 FR

I downloaded the Intel Matrix Storage Manager File to support E-SATA drivers. In the notes section it states "NOTE 1: If the system is running Windows* 64-bit version,
the Intel(R) Matrix Storage Manager driver supporting
64-bit should be used."
How do I install the Intel Matrix Storage Manager Driver for my P-35 so my board will dectect E-sata connections? It's telling me that the installation can't continue becuase my computer does not meet the minimum requirements. This cannot be.
Here's the link for the file I downloaded from MSI for Intel Matrix Storage Manager Driver

This is a Windows Problem. The generic SATA AHCI Drivers that come with Vista are pretty much crab and don't always work (that is why you get a bluescren, usually with a 0x0000007b stop error).
The cleanest way to solve the problem is to reinstall Windows Vista with AHCI Mode enabled in BIOS and integrate the Intel ICH9R SATA AHCI Drivers in Vista Setup. Another way is to try a repair installation after you have enabled the AHCI Mode (doesn't always work). A third way is to force Windows to use the Intel Drivers via a registry patch. I am not sure how well that will work with Vista. The procedure for XP is described here:

Can't install Intel Rapid Storage Technology driver on Yoga 2 11

The Lenovo driver list for the Yoga 2 11 includes Intel Rapid Storage Technology (IRST) Driver for 64-bit Windows. However, attempting to install this results in the message, "No Appropriate Driver to be Installed". Likewise, attempting to install the Rapid Storage Technology driver from Intel's site results in the error, "The platform is not supported."
Windows Device Manager shows WDC WD5000M22K-24Z1LT0-SSHD-16GB for the disk drive name, so it appears that the drive should support the RAID configuration for SSD caching. This is consistent with the specs for the laptop.
Is it normal for the drivers to not install? It seems odd, given the placement on Lenovo's driver list. I'd like to set the Acceleration Mode to Maximized as described in Intel's User Guide.

Hi Jakobsjoqvist,
Welcome to Lenovo Community Forums!
I’m really sorry to hear that you had trouble installing Intel Rapid Storage AHCI driver in your Lenovo Thinkpad T430s.
I would suggest you to try uninstalling the driver and run the Intel Driver update utility which will auto-detect the missing drivers and will install the latest version for you.
Hope this helps!
Best regards,
Mithun.

T520. Can't install Intel HD Graphics Driver

The graphics driver provided by Lenovo is a customzied version, and it is very laggy especially when quickly moving mouse over links. I noticed this issue in many Lenovo's Intel graphics driver releases, and the solution was always, download and install HD graphics driver from Intel web site.
This works fine for the past couple of updates untill now, after upgraded latest Lenovo driver (v9.17.10.2843, same laggy issue), I am no longer able to install the driver from Intel (v9.17.10.2875, http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?agr=Y&DwnldID=22083&lang=eng&OSVersion=Windows%207%..., the installer simply prompts message "this driver is not made for your laptop model blah blah...". This is the first time I saw this message, looks like Lenovo or Intel blocks the generic version of driver being installed on Lenovo laptop?
Any advice?
Thanks

Hi sh2sg,
Are you able to roll back to the previous driver version?
Even though it may not have the responsiveness you want, it might be the best driver available right now.
Other options may be to increase RAM (since they share the RAM) or, if you have a warranty, have it looked at by Lenovo's service tech or the repair depot.
Let us know which option you choose and how it works out for you.
HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!
Be AWESOME Everyday!

Intel Matrix Storage Manager disables Windows Update and Windows Validation on Windows 7 64-bit

I have a Lenovo ThinkPad R61 8918CTO on which I did a clean install of Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 (64-bit) on a new Seagate Momentus XT 750GB drive. The installation was trouble-free, as were all of the post-install Windows Updates.
Then I installed ThinkVantage System Update 4.03 and used it to install most of the available Lenovo updates. Big mistake. I'll spare you a detailed account of the hours I wasted troubleshooting, rolling back to previous restore points, and doing more troubleshooting, but it turns out that installing Intel Matrix Storage Manager driver v. 8.9.2.1002 caused Windows Update and Windows Validation to fail.
Symptoms: Windows Update control panel can't check for updates and reports that the Windows Update service isn't running when it actually is. Online Windows Validation fails and the standalone Windows Validation utility won't install. Microsoft programs that require a validated copy of Windows (e.g., Microsoft Security Essentials) won't install.
Solution: Roll back the driver for the relevant SATA controller to the previous driver.
I've reinstalled ThinkVantage System Update 4.03 and hidden the proposed Intel Matrix Storage Manager update; since then, I've used it to complete my Lenovo updates without issue.
I hope this post will help other people with this problem find the solution a lot faster than it took me!

This happened after installing a new advanced format drive with 4k-byte sectors, I'd guess. If the storage driver doesn't report the physical sector size to Windows, update fails.
I just ran across this myself (again) putting Win 7 on a T400.
I don't know why this is still going on. It may be that the update lists for older machines still have pre-AF-drive drivers listed.
FYI, another fix is going to the Intel site and installing the latest Matrix Storage Manager AHCI driver. This may be more desirable than rolling back to an older driver in some cases.

MSI X58 Platinum SLI how get beyond Intel Matrix Storage v 8.5.0.1030 Option Rom

I would like to know if I can get beyond Intel Matrix Storage v 8.5.0.1030 Option Rom
I am also running a X58 Platinum SLI Bios v3.90

The Intel Matrix Storage Manager Option ROM is pretty much a more or less independent BIOS Module. It would be MSI's job (the job of MSI's BIOS Engineers) to provide an official BIOS Version that includes an updated version of the Intel Matrix Storage Manager Option ROM Module.
Alternatively, it is possible to exchange that particular module via a relatively simple BIOS Modification (given, that one has a copy of v8.5.0.1013).
Follow NovJoe's suggestion to contact MSI first. If they (for some reason) have second thoughts regarding an Intel Matrix Storage Manager Option ROM Update, we could consider the option of modding a BIOS for you.

Need help with XP instal. stuck at: Intel Matrix Storage Manager Driver

I've bought a new 2.0 ghz laptop with vista blah blah but i want to change to XP.
I've
bought a new copy of XP and am ready to go then first issue was during
installation the screen says can't find harddrive installed.
I
then found some thread somewhere which i've lost that said to buy an
external floppy drive and downloaded that floppy driver thingy that i
need to get past that stage from the toshiba website..
FYI driver name: SA200 ACHI F6-1017-XP
That
worked fine.. when it said press F8 if you agree to install XP i nearly
wet myself.. anyhow after it formatted the drive it then asked me this:
Insert the disk labeled:
*Intel Matrix Storage Manager Driver*
into drive A:
* Press ENTER when ready
WTF are you talking about laptop? can someone please help me past this stage?
:-( :-( i only want XP installed.
So far its been like 3 weeks since i've been trying to install it

Here are detailed instructions I found earlier:
Installing a Retail (street copy) version of Windows XP on a Vista Toshiba Laptop.
- If the Toshiba laptop has a seperate BIOS for XP and Vista, download and flash the XP BIOS over the Vista BIOS.
- If XP Setup does not detect the SATA Hard Disk, simply turn on "SATA Compatibility Mode" in the BIOS if applicable. If this option is not available, follow these steps:
1) Download the Windows XP SATA F6 driver from the Toshiba Support/Downloads Website.
If an individual F6 driver is not available, download and unzip the Intel Matrix Storage Manager driver. The Intel Matrix Storage Manager driver package should contain some folders under the "F6flpy" folder. For example: ICH7M_32bit for an ICH7 based chipset when installing Windows XP 32bit.
2) Copy the F6 driver files (iastor.inf, etc..) to a blank floppy disk. The actual files must reside in the root directory of the Floppy Disk. For example, A:\iastor.inf, A:\iaahci.inf, etc..
3) Use a Toshiba USB Floppy Drive with the Toshiba notebook. (some non-Toshiba USB Floppy Drives may not function properly during XP setup)
4) Boot from Windows XP CD-ROM, start the installation and ensure the floppy disk is inserted in the USB Floppy Drive.
5) When XP Setup prompts you to press F6 to install a Storage Driver, immediately press F6.
6) When XP Setup prompts you to select a SATA driver, select the appropriate driver and continue. For example: ICH7M Intel(R) 82801GBM SATA AHCI Controller, ICH8M Intel(R) 82801HEM/HBM SATA AHCI Controller
7) Keep the Floppy Drive attached and Floppy Disk inserted until XP has completed its installation. Do not Partition or Format the Hard Disk during XP Setup. The SATA drivers from the Floppy Disk are copied and stored on the Hard Disk during XP installation.

Intel RAID error in Device Manager after updating Intel Matrix Storage Console

The latest in my catalogue of problems arose after updating Intel Matrix Storage Console (IMSC) ...
Lost my RAID volume, but both drives were OK. However, IMSC seemed to be freezing, so I thought I'd install the latest version from Intel. Once installed, it gave me errors saying a plug in was not found, followed by messages saying that the SATA and RAID drivers were not installed. Device Manager thinks the drivers are OK, but the yellow triangle with the ! is shown against the Intel RAID driver. Tried un-installing and re-installing the controller, updating the drivers, different versions of IMSC and still get the yellow triangle with the !
I have been having trouble with the RAID0 set up for weeks so wonder if it has finally died? I'm out of ideas. Can anyone help?

Intel Matrix Storage Console - Satellite A300 1BZ

Hi
I have a A300 1BZ and I've noticed that the Intel Matrix Storage Console is informing me that I have 3 SATA ports (0,1 and 2).
It informs me that ports 0 & 1 are in use (I have 2 hard disks fitted) and port 2 is not being used.
What I want to know is it possible that this little A300 can accommodate a 3rd hard disk?
Feedback appreciated!

I've just looked at my friends P300 the Intel software lists 4 sata ports available, one is being used for a hard disk and the other is being used for his DVD/CD drive, 2 are unused.
Maybe my 3rd port is for the option of having SATA optical drive as my current CD/DVD drive is ATA!
Makes more sense!

12 sec wait for the boot process / intel matrix storage problem ??? /

Hi!
One day pre-installed Vista, reinstall the clean, fast way to start the operating system. All very good! However, this is also the past such was the ThinkPad logo, and the Windows Loader interval between 12 seconds, so that nothing happens. Now I noticed that after this happened, when uploaded to the Intel Matrix Storage drivers, immediately before the machine started to boot. Had met someone like that here? Not so very disturbing, but it's better if the machine starts quickly, and then 12 seconds can be enough.

Intel matrix storage manager

Hi, i just got a new t400 and I'm curious why it comes with the intel matrix storage manager, which seems to me to be a program that you only need if you have a RAID system, and since a typical laptop only has one harddrive I dont see any point why I should have this program installed ?
I would appreciate some advice before I remove the program though.
Thanks,

The matrix driver is used for the turbo memory function.. if you do not have a second hd, or turbo memory installed it is quite possible you do not need to have this driver installed.

[Solved] RAID 0 with Arch Linux and Intel Matrix Storage Manager

I just bought a brand new DELL Studio desktop and it has 2 500 HD's which I would like to run in RAID 0. I've setup the BIOS to run the RAID 0. Now I want the arch linux installation to recognise the volume. I followed the guide on the wikipage
http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ins … _Fake-RAID
but /dev/mapper doesn't show anything after modprobing the modules and installing dmraid. My controller is a intel matrix storage controller, so what module should I modprobe because sata_sil isn't the right one.
Regards

you have a separate /boot partition, so your menu.lst must say :
root (hd0,0) # the partition including /boot
kernel /vmlinuz26 ... # without leading /boot
initrd /kernel26.img # without leading /boot
(in grub, / is the root of the partition that was set with the root command, your vmlinuz26 and kernel26.img are in (hd0,0)/, not in (hd0,0)/boot/)
did you install from core CD or from FTP ?
there was a dmraid update few weeks ago that modified device names that dmraid creates :
it add "p" before the number of the partition (your iws...Volume0 don't change, but your iws...Volume0# change to iws...Volume0p#)
if you installed from core CD, you will only need to add this "p" when you will upgrade dmraid (or the full system)
(you will then need to edit both /boot/grub/menu.lst and /etc/fstab)
if you installed from FTP, you need to add this "p" now, as you installed last version of dmraid

Can i install iCloud on a drive other than C:?

I am installing i Cloud on a Windows 7 but do not have an option of putting it any where but C drive. How can i install it to another drive? I keeep my operating system on a small partition and install all my programs to a larger partition.

Install it normally, launch it with the Shift key held down, and create a new library on the desired drive. The iTunes application contains system components and therefore must be installed on the drive or partition containing the OS.

Can I install a 1TB Hard Drive into a late 2007 17" MacBook Pro?

Can I install a 1TB Hard Drive into a late 2007 17" MacBook Pro currently running a 160 GB Hard Drive?

It depends upon exactly what you want to do with your Mac. My old Late 2007 17" MacBook Pro only has 4GB RAM and it works fine. It is a little slow if I am doing anything involving heavy computing (rendering video, compiling programs, etc.) but it works just fine. In most cases, the increased RAM will help performance, but the cost can be fairly high with an older machine like you have.

Can I install a bigger hard drive on my HP Laptop dv9230us

Can I install a bigger hard drive on my HP Laptop dv9230us

Yes and in fact it can accept 2 hard drives. Any 2.5 inch wide SATA laptop hard drive 9.5 mm thick will work and those are available up to 1.5 TB I believe. To add a second hard drive you need a caddy and connector piece sold here:
