Can't see non-RAID SATA on promise in XP

First of all, I just spent over an hour searching and reading the forums trying to find an answer, and couldn't, so I reluctantly have to turn to posting an issue that probably has been covered before.
Simple issue: When setting the Promise controller to "as SATA" in the AMI BIOS, I can't see the disks in Windows XP. However, when I set the controller to "as RAID", and configure an array on the disks via the Promise BIOS (ctrl-F), I see the RAID array just fine in XP. Promise Fasttrack 378/478 drivers were installed during initial XP installation.
Also, I note that while I don't get the ctrl-F prompt for the Promise BIOS array configuration when the Promise controller is set to "as SATA" in AMIBIOS, I do see the Promise chip identify the disks as D0 and D1 in a very quick message that flashes by.
Is there a different driver I need to load for the Promise controller if I'm n ot using the SATA and IDE3 ports for RAID? Some particular arrangement of settings for the other On-Chip I/O that I need to be careful of?
I'm stumped...

Yes there are 2 separate drivers.
The Promise U-SATA drivers are on the floppy as well as the MSI CD.
Generally the floppy is only used during the install of WinXP where XP is installed on the Promise controller.
In your case, you already have XP installed on another drive and want to add the Promise U-SATA driver. Using the MSI CD would be preferable because it should auto-detect your hardware and offer the correct Promise driver providing you have Bios>>Peripheral Devices>>Promise Controller-"As SATA" selected.
It took me a while to figure out that the CD offers different choices depending on how you have the Bios set up.
After the drivers are installed correctly, you may have to use Windows Disk Manager(or a 3rd party util. if you have) to partition/format the drives before they show up in Explorer.

875P can not see a single SATA HD - works only as RAID

My mobo is the 875P Neo-FIS2R (601-6758-040) & OS is XP sp2.
For many years the on board Promise controller supported well the RAID array(0 or 1), using a pair of Seagate Barracuda 7200.8 200GB (Model ST3200826AS).
Now, time passed and I want to increase the size of my HDs.
Instead of the 2 x 200Gb, I bought recently one similar Seagate Barracuda of 1000Gb.
But the mobo refused to "see" the new single SATA HD when is connected on promise's SATA ends!
There is not single SATA connection either with one of the old 200GB Seagate; worked only together as RAID!
I checked the hard disks on an other PC and worked perfect. I have tried the BIOS combinations without result
Dear PC gurus, advise please ...
George

Hay man, im just thinking, maybe those HDD are to big for the BIOS to detect them. what i'd recommend, is flashing your BIOS to the latest.
http://global.msi.com.tw/index.php?func=downloaddetail&type=bios&maincat_no=1&prod_no=544
look at the top bios flash fixes.
if you have never flashed a bios before i'd get some advise from the bios side of the forums. also that my not be the fault. maybe its just a limition of the MB.

Can't see non-sync titles on AppleTV

I used to be able to see the non-synced movie titles on my AppleTV as long as iTunes was running. Since the upgrade (2.2), I only see synced titles. I have the box checked to display the non-sync movies but don't anymore. Am I missing something new that was added?

IatricSB wrote:
Correct. Movies are checked. Only show synced is unchecked.
I don't see those that movies that aren't physically on the ATV. Even when they are being copied over, I don't see them until after they are finished copying. It's worked fine for months, but not since I upgraded.
I'd tend to agree with tmartine about restarting the tv. On your other issue where synced movies aren't available until they have fully synced, I suspect this might be intended under the new software. Previously if you started to watch something that was syncing it would stop and start streaming it, I can see the newer behaviour being wholly more practical.

I can't see my Raid (Drobo) on my desktop with OSX Mavericks

Hello,
I just updated to OSX Mavericks. I now have a problem with my RAID array. It doesn't mount on the desktop. I tried updating software, contacting Drobo(out of warranty) verifying and repairing the disk, physically "mounting the disk" in Disk First Aid. I get nothing. In Drobo's program, the disk is functional and healthy. It just won't mount. I didn't have this problem before I installed Mavericks. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance,
Al Harding

found this
With the help of Drobo's technical support who pointed me to this MacRumors thread, I've resolved the issue. It turned out that somehow my drive got set to "invisible", which is a filesystem attribute. I don't think this setting is settable via the Finder, so I'm not sure how it got set like that.
To confirm the issue, I had to install Xcode and then install the command line tools, then run this Terminal command:
GetFileInfo /Volumes/Drobo/
where /Volumes/Drobo/ is the path to the volume in question. This command returns all the attributes set for that volume. If the list of attributes includes a V (capital V), it means that the volume is invisible.
To fix it:
SetFile -a v /Volumes/Drobo/
with a lowercase v, to remove the invisible attribute.
After a reboot, everything was back to normal.
Note: depending on the drive and your permissions, it's possible you will need to run these commands with sudo, although I didn't.

Using IDE3 in non-RAID setup

Hi
I have a few questions regarding my setup which I hope some users who have or have had the same configuration can answer for me? I know that this post may turn out to be a bit long but I really would appreciate some help and answers from users who have been down this road please.
System:
MSI 875P Neo FIS2R (no overclocking)
Intel 2.40C Ghz P4 (800Mhz)
BIOS 1.7
Nvidia FX5200 AGP 8x
LG CDRW on IDE1 (Master)
LG DVD on IDE1 (Slave)
IDE2 - Nothing installed
Maxtor 20GB ATA133 on IDE3 (Master - Non-RAID)
Maxtor 80GB ATA133 on IDE3 (Slave)
With thanks to "mdc007", I have just setup my two Maxtor drives which were previously installed on IDE1, on IDE3 as master and slave, using the following method:
Enabled Promise controller in BIOS, setup Promise IDE "as S-ATA", boot into XP, install S-ATA drivers from Device Manager and reboot. Made sure drivers were installed. Turned off computerm connected Maxtor hard drives to IDE3 and turn on computer. enter BIOS and select Maxtor master drive as first boot device and then F10 to save and exit.
Everything worked just fine but I noticed on the POST screen that I had 1st IDE master/slave (CDRW/DVD), 2nd IDE master/slave (not installed), 3rd IDE master/slave (not installed), 4th IDE master/slave.
The drives on IDE3 are shown in Device Manager and I have a SCSI RAID Promise 378 S-ATA in Device Manager. The drives also appear to be opering correctly in XP.
Q: As my hard drives are on IDE3, why are they not shown on the POST screen?
(Note - both drives were shown on the next screen with UDMA6)
Q: Also in the mainboard BIOS, the drives are not shown connected to IDE3. Why? I tried choosing "AUTO" but that made no difference.
Q: With reference to the HDD LED, I was aware that the LED did not work with S-ATA drives on the Promise Controller at the moment but, although the HDD LED is on during POST, it shows no activity when booting into to XP or once on the desktop. Is this correct?
Q: With reference to the Intel IAA and IAA RAID latest software versions, I tried installing these and got a message which said something like "no compatible devices - software not supported on this chipset". Has anyone got this software to install or am I installing the incorrect version?
Q: I downloaded the correct version of IAA and I can't understand why it won't install so, which chipset is the message referring to?
Q: I have seen mention of the Intel 82801EB Ultra ATA Storage Controller, which my 875P has, and also the Intel 82801ER. Which board has the 82801ER?
Q: With reference to the "On chip ATA(s) Operate Mode" in the BIOS, with my setup as shown above, I would appreciate advice from users who have this setup working ok, about which options are best to enable/disable in this area:
* Mode: Legacy or Native?
* ATA Configuration: Disabled/P-ATA only/S-ATA only/P-ATA + S-ATA/Both
* S-ATA Keep enabled: Yes/No
* P-ATA Keep enabled: Yes/No?
* P-ATA Channel Selection: Primary/Secondary/Both?
* Combined Mode Option: P-ATA 1st Channel/S-ATA st Channel?
(this option depends on what other options you have choen above)
* S-ATA Ports Definition: PO-1st / P1-2nd - PO-2nd / P1-1st
PO-3rd / P1-4th - PO-4th / P1-3rd
(this option also depends on what other options you have chsoen above)
Q: With reference to PNP/PNP Configuration Option in the BIOS, with my new setup, should PCI IDE Bus Mastering be enabled?
BTW, about an hour after running my drives from IDE, I attempted to install the new drivers for the WinXP Promise SATA378 IDE Controller (from v1.00.16 to v1.00.29) and after reboot, the pc just kept rebooting and i had to choose "last known good configuration" and then once in windows, I got my first 'blue screen' with a message something like "IRQ less or equal to" etc, etc. Don't know if that relevant or not?
Regards

To answer a few of your questions,
Reason you can't see the devices on the Promise controller in the Bios is because the Promise controller has its own separate Bios(that's the one you get into by hitting control-F. The only link the main Bios has to it is the 1 setting(disabled, SATA, Raid). Also, you'll see the Promise devices listed in the boot devices setting although with unusual prefixes like "BBS Device 0" or something like that.
Note that the 1st-4th channels listed in the standard Cmos Features are for the Intel controller only(IE: 2IDE channels + 2SATA channels)
I know that the HDD light DOES NOT work for ANY SATA devices. I haven't used my IDE3 yet but it sounds like it doesn't work for that either. As far as I know, there is no work-around for this. Unbelievable, isn't it?
For your setup:
Native Mode for WinXP
Pata Only (you're not using the SATA's)
Keep SATA enabled: Yes(only if you are overclocking and can't lock AGP/PCI frequency. Don't know why, but this has worked for many of us.)
Pata enabled should be greyed out with above settings.
Pata channels: Just primary if that's all you're using but "both" would work too.
Combined Mode: greyed out
SATA ports def: greyed out or leave default.
Not 100% sure on your other questions but I think IAA is not required on this board and IAA-Raid version will only install if you have the controller configured for Raid in the Bios. I don't think you need either with your setup. I don't have either installed atm.
I'm not sure of the difference between the 82801EB & ER but device manager lists all the 82801EB devices for me and everything seems fine.
Hope that helps out a little.
Didn't see Danny's post above when I wrote this but I pretty much agree with everything. I have Bus Mastering on but only because it sounded like a good thing and everything seems fine with it on. (I think I read somewhere that it speed up data transfers when you're running in DOS-IE: Booting Ghost or Drive Image etc off the CD/Floppy). Never really tested though.

How to get Sil 3114 to be NON raid on Neo4 platinim

Ive searched all day to try and find this answer with no luck. I even saw a post or 2 on the forum here that were not totally resolved. I want to use the orange usb sil3114 as a normal non raid sata. It shows up now during bootup because i enabled it in the bios, but it wont work as jbod because when I go into the utility that is not an option so the drive I connect to it wont work.

http://www.msi.com/index.php?func=proddesc&maincat_no=1&prod_no=165
Reading below carefully I get the impression, that BIOS will not see the disk.
SiL chapter is no 6 in the manual. Since you have so many disks already I dare not give any advice of my own:
Before installing the SATARAID5 software, Silicon Image Serial ATA host adapter
driver must be installed. Insert MSI driver CD into the computer’s CDROM drive and
select Silicon Image SATA RAID Drivers.
The Java 2 Runtime Environment is required for the SATARAID5 GUI. The Java 2
Runtime Installer and executable package must be downloaded from the Sun
Microsystems website at http://java.sun.com/j2se/downloads.html. The computer
must have an Internet connection set up before installation can proceed.
Save the installer file to a known location, such as the My Documents folder. Using
Windows Explorer or by clicking on the My Computer icon on the desktop, select
the installation file and open it. The installation will begin. The installer program will
download the needed files from the Internet.
Creating JBOD
Since BIOS no longer reports non-RAID drives to the system BIOS, if a non-RAID
boot drive or data drive is desired, a JBOD
can be created so BIOS will report it to the system BIOS.
1. To create a JBOD, Select ”Create RAID set”
2. Select “JBOD” and press Enter.
3. Select JBOD drive from the physical drive list and press Enter.
4. Select JBOD size with and keys.
5. After the JBOD size is set, the message “Are You Sure?” will display before
completing the configuration. Answer “N” to abort the creation of the JBOD, or “Y”
to proceed with the JBOD creation.
Resolving Conflicts
When a RAID set is created, the metadata written to the disk includes drive
connection information including the channel on the host adapter to which it is
connected. If after a disk failure the replacement disk was previously part of a
RAID set or used in another system, it may have conflicting metadata, specifically
in reference to the drive connection information. If so, this will prohibit the RAID set
from being either created or rebuilt. In order for the RAID set to function properly,
this old metadata must be first overwritten with the new metadata. To correct this,
select “Resolve Conflict” and the correct metadata, including the correct drive
connection information; will automatically be written to the replacement disk.
1. Select “Resolve Conflicts” and press Enter.
2. Select the “Conflict” entry in the Logical Drive Status window and press Enter.
3. Note that some conflict resolutions may result in the drive letter assignment
changing; for example the RAID set may have been drive D: but after the conflict
resolution, it may become drive E. Be aware of this when performing a conflict
resolution. To maintain the same drive lettering, the SATA cables connected to the
drives may need to be swapped, or in the case of a SATA-based removable drive
unit, the order of the drives within the chassis made need to be changed.
Press ‘Y’ to accept the change and resolve the conflict.
4. The conflict will be resolved. The RAID Set will appear in the Logical Drive
window.
Reserved Drive and Setting Size for RAID Set, Spare Drive, or
JBOD
Once a physical drive has been used to create a RAID set, spare drive, or JBOD
by BIOS utility, BIOS saves user selected set or drive size in the reserved area of
the physical drive. There is no way to remove the reserved area information even
after the user deletes the set or drive. For this reason, after a set or drive is
deleted, BIOS recognizes the physical drive as a reserved logical drive and it will
not report the drive to the system BIOS.
When user selects to create a RAID set, spare drive, or JBOD, he or she has to
select size for the set or drive. BIOS will set a default size for it and user can use
the and keys to change the size. If the physical drive has never been used to
create a set or drive by the BIOS before, the full size of the physical drive will be
set as default size. Otherwise, BIOS will set default size to the size it saved in the
reserved area of the physical drive before.
If the user wants to increase the default size, BIOS will display a warning
message in the help window and for user’s response
before changing the default size.

[Athlon64] CAN'T SEE SINGLE SATA DRIVE / K8T NEO no Promise controller

I have a K8t NEO -the cheapskate version with no PROMISE SATA controller or on-board Firewire
I have been running on XP SP2 on 2 IDE drives, everything is ok. I added a SINGLE SATA drive and turned the VIA SATA controller on in BIOS. I did the MSI Live Update and have the latest VIA SATA driver, latest chipset, latest BIOS, latest EVERYTHING. At boot, the VIA SATA controller reports my Hitachi SATA as Channel 0 Primary" in the SATA devices table. Going into the SATA RAID menu it tells me "You can't make RAID with just one drive" which is true, of course. But the point is the controller SEES the drive.
I've run MSI Live Update and have the latest BIOS, latest SATA XP driver, latest EVERYTHING.
Windows XP doesn't see the SATA drive.
In XP I see a VIA RAID CONTROLLER in Hardware / Device Manager which is DISABLED. When I right-click then click ENABLE on the VIA RAID CONTROLLER the machine reboots immediately. I tried safe mode, same thing. I tried BIOS settings of "No PNP O/S Installed" and "Yes PNP O/S Installed" and reset the NVRAM. No change.
I think there must be an IRQ conflict.... I have a sound card (on-board sound is turned OFF in BIOS) and AGP video card, and that's it- no WiFi NIC or anything else to eat up IRQ resources. I use the Realtek on-board ethernet.
I tried my Windows 98 partition and that booted, detected the new hardware (VIA SATA) and I installed the driver from the MSI CD and Win 98 is happy with the SATA drive..... it sees the drive just fine.
How do I make Windows XP see the SATA drive?

Have you tried starting XP with CD and entering recovery, log on as admin and see if SATA drive is there? Remember to "F6" with a floppy drive of SATA drivers for
-XP-... I'm assuming you already have as you said all is uptodate. When the boot BIOS for the VIA SATA apprears and you press "TAB" I believe it is, you can mess with the SATA functions. Sorry if does not apply to your compy or you've already done all this.... BTW you CAN run a RAID array with one HDD, at least thats what I did on my Promise controller.
In my Device Manager under Disk drives it looks like this (notes bracketed are noting position):
Promise 1+0 Stripe/RAID0 SCSI Disk Device (Bus Number 0, Target ID 1, LUN 0 (G:\ 1-160GB IDE Seagate/notice ONE drive)
Promise 2+0 Stripe/RAID0 SCSI Disk Device (Bus Number 0, Target ID 0, LUN 0) (F:\ 2x200 SATA)
ST3160023A (Location 1 (1) VIA IDE D:\)
VIA SATA RAID 0 SCSI Disk Device (Bus Number 0, Target ID 0, LUN 0) (E:\ 2x120 SATA)
WDC WD800JB-00CRA1 (Location 0 (0) VIA IDE C:\)
Under the boards BIOS, is the SATA drive listed under the BOOT table??? In my system it lists the above 5 partitions (7 HDD's total), floppy, 2 CD/DVD drives, etc...
Oh also in Device Manager IS the VIA SATA controller appearing in the "SCSI and RAID controllers" tab??? I have set mine to just SATA before and of course now it says "VIA SATA RAID Controller"... for you it should read "VIA SATA Controller". Remember there are 2 different drivers for the SATA controller, one for SATA and one for SATA RAID. Look on your floppy disk or if you saved out the updated driver. I made a new floppy with the latest XP drivers. When booting from WINXP CD, and promted for "F6" and press it, later it will show you TWO different drivers after reading the floppy disk for XP. You obviously want the non RAID driver... hope that helps somewhat... g'luck

Help Promise 378 Sata (non raid) Windows install

Ok I am now atempting a fresh WinXP install on my new WD Raptor.
The Problem being that XP setup does not see my Sata drive.
After F6 it gives me the following choices...
"Win2000 Promise Sata378 Controller"
"WinNT Promise Sata378 Controller"
"Win Server 2003 Promise FastTrak 376/378 Controller"
"WinXP Promise FastTrak 376/378 Controller"
The Obvious selection #4 has been tried multiple times, it never see's my Sata drive.
Options 1&2 give error as I did not copy Win2000 and WinNT folders on floppy.
Is XP based on NT or 2000? I dont remember.
Floppy was made according to "makedisk.txt in the 378_55.exe.
Ive tried multiple Bios settings under "On chip Ide configuration"
If you read my earlier post I had a problem with my current Windows install loading raid drivers by default. I think Xp setup is doing the same thing. How do I get it to load Sata drivers instead?
Thinking Promise or MSI (whoever) should have gone to the trouble of configuring seperate files, ie. 378_Raid.exe 378_Sata.exe!
Yes I have Changed boot order to the sata drive. Order is floppy, CD, Sata, Other (yes).
Tried legacy and native modes, Sata only and both etc. etc.
Still think the problem is with the floppy. Probably the "txtsetup.oem" file. But Im not enuff of a wizard to edit it proper.

Check the sata configuration in bios.
I set it in auto (it has auto,disabled enhanced and one more option,i don't remember)
or a 848p neo2-v board and it worked!
If you don't see it recognised by your bios it won't be recognised by windows either!
So don't bother letting it start the boot from cd unless you can see your drive in the bios.
What i suggest is that you continuously press delete at boot,
go into bios, change some settings, press F10, reboot,press delete again and if you still
don't see your drive,try others settings,press F10 etc.
Go into boot from cd,that is, xp installation ONLY AFTER you can see your drive in bios.

Can't access XP PRO on Via SATA with Promise SATA enabled......

Here's the deal.....I just bought a WD 250GB SATA drive. I currently have 2 WD raptors on VIA in RAID 0(dual boot w/win XP PRO). I installed new SATA using Promise controller and set it up as 1 disk RAID. This works fine with my IDE harddrive(Dual boot w/XP home), however, when I try to boot for the Raptors(VIA sata) I get can't start windows missing or corrupt file (windows root)/system32/hal.dll. Now, when I disable the Promise RAID, XP PRO on VIA RAID boots fine. Do these 2 controllers not work together? or am I just missing something??? Your help is appreciated....

When you enable the Promise controller, you're no longer able to boot from the VIA Raid. You need to use the Promise RAID/SATA to boot from, or an IDE device. Windows will see the VIA RAID controller, so you can setup a data-storage partition (or something like that) on the VIA.
Now, you probably want to move your Raptors to the Promise controller, just to make use of both controllers and to boot from your Raptors. If so, you can try the following.
1. Backup your disks - there's a 50/50% chance that this will not work, but it's worth a try and I managed to do it several times;
2. Now, boot up your system and install the Promise drivers (you have to play with this a bit, I don't know anymore how I did it last time. I think you have to enable the Promise controller in BIOS without connecting any drive. You'll still be able to boot from the VIA controller);
3. Shut down Windows and PC;
4. Connect drives from VIA controller to Promise controller;
5. Start system and enter Promise RAID Setup utility (watch your screen to see what keys to use - I'm at work now, and cannot check it for you);
6. Setup a RAID-array (exactly like you had it on the VIA - you may want to check using VIA config tool in Windows for block size, etc.);
7. When you setup this raid, the Promise uitl will give you a choice, how to proceed. One of these choices is to only initialize the array. Choose that one. The other option will destroy your data;
8. exit and reboot and hope that it will work. somethimes it does, sometimes it does not.

BIOS/OS won't see 3rd HDD as non-RAID!

This is driving me bananas.
Mobo: P35 Platinum
CPU: Dual Core E6600
RAM: 2GB
HDDs:
2x400GB (RAID0)
1x250GB
Windows Vista 32
BIOS: AMI v1.8
My problem is that since I set the BIOS to RAID, it won't see the 3rd drive (250GB) as non-RAID. Intel Storage Matrix also sees it as a RAID drive that is not working properly. Can someone please tell me how to make this stop? Thanks

unfortunately this is an issue wth all intel chipsets. Once RAID is enabled, it is enabled to all ports. Athough some same a seperate channel that is run through the JMicron chipset and are usually just 2 ports and they would be different colored on the motherboard. If you have two off colored ports then put the single drive on those ports and the raid on the others. This has been an issue for quite some time now and think Intel has finally changed it on the X38 boards now that SATA optical drives are in cheap abundance.
als, setting the third drive to a single raid trick won't work on intel boards like it does with nvidia. Intel wants two drives or more in the array or it won't work.
You may need to pick up a cheap SATA controller card. I bought a couple already and they were under $15. They even have PCI-E X1 cards out now and they work for me just fine.
good luck
-=Mark=-
ps.. I just looked up your board and it seems to have a 5th sata port that is light blue and offset from the other 4 purple main sata connectors. Try the single drive on it, I'm sure it's designed for optical drives, but should work with your hard drive, well that is if you don't already have an optical already plugged in.
psss.. I just found this info on the board.
• SATAII controller integrated in ICH9R and Marvell® 88SE6111 chipest
- Up to 300MB/sec transfer speed.
- Supports four SATAII ports and two eSATA ports by ICH9R.
- Supports AHCI controller with SATA RAID 0/1/5/10.
- Supports one SATAII port by 88SE6111.
So it runs through a Marvell chipset. I didn't know they even made an SATA chip. all I ever see was NIC chipsets.

[RAID 0 issue] - K7N2 Delta ILSR:how can i save my RAID-0 SATA DISK datas

Hi all, as a new member, i have to underlign the fact that this forums' members are very active and helpful ( personally, i thank the front usb issue post author ).
I've an XP on a single SATA RAID-0 disk ( Promise Fasttrak 3xx duno ), since a few days, i think that the DRAM controller is KO because the mobo doesn't accept DDRAM anymore ( DDRAM is OK on other PC ). The Mboard makes long & regular beeps and i have no Video ( no BIOS & no POST ), the D-bracket indicates no memory module or memory damaged ( case 4, led 4 is the only green ).
If u have an idea to help me..
If there's nothing more to do, how can i recover the HDD's datas ? They are very important..i've heard that the disk should be plugged on the same raid chipset ( the better is the same Mboard )
Please can you help, and sorry for my French-english
EDIT: I'll fulfill w/ more specs this WE.

Just plugging/unplugging the memory somethime solves the problem. You could have had a bad insertion or just dust in the slot. Good luck with your working computer
I already answered your RAID concerns. RAID0 with only 1 HDD is no RAID at all, just a software trick to force the controler to use the drive.

If your drive is raid0, but only 1 drive, it is no RAID at all, so it should work like any disk on any computer and be recognized normally.

Can't see non-RAID SATA on promise in XP
