D20 (4158-48G) RAID driver -problem / Win 7

Hello,
I've created an array (RAID1) using two identical 500GB hd's. Marvell's raid bios (?) gives me the long awaited info that the RAID1 is online and ready to be used. The problem is with Win 7.
I've downloaded "drivers" that I need from here: http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?sitestyle=lenovo&lndocid=MIGR-73716
When I boot my system, Win 7 tells me that RAID driver is not installed correctly. When I go to the device manager and try to update the driver from specific location W7 doesn't find the drivers at all.
No luck.
Getting pissed off
And as much as I have tried to use google and this forum to solve my problem - i'm starting to feel I'm all alone with this problem (
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Thanks!
the problem was that I followed too blindly Lenovos homepage and assumed that the right driver was located where I thought It should be.
I went to Support -> ThinkBrand -> Quick Path
Typed my model D20's model number (4158-48G)
Chose a link "Downloads & drivers"
From "Refine results" -box I chose "RAID" - and it only gave intel Matrix driver support..
The correct one was found from here:

K9A2 CF RAID / Driver Problems

Hi everyone, first of all here are my PC specifications:
Mobo: K9A2 CF (Bios v1.8 - RAID Firmware 2.5.1540.33-A)
CPU: AMD Phenom II 920 (no OC)
RAM: 2 x OCZ Platinum DDR2 1066MHz @ 800MHz (default @ 1.8v)
GPU: XFX GeForce 9600GT (no OC)
HDD: 2 x Wester Digital 7200.11 SATA II 500GB @ RAID 0 from ATI SB600
PSU: Satellite 600W
Windows XP Pro 32-bit SP3
The problem is the following, when i installed WinXP I insert RAID disk (downloaded from MSI website "miniport driver 2.5.1540.48"), select the RAID 0 drive (1000GB) and let it go...
First boot: fine... i can run every application without trouble. Then i proceed to install ATI SB driver from CD... all fine, ask me to reboot, i click yes.
Second boot: quick BSOD when WinXP logo shows... impossible to boot.
Then i boot with F8 and select "last known configuration" or something like that, it boots fine but ATI SB srivers are not installed. Every time i try to install them (i tryed version 8.54, 8.53 and the one that comes with the CD) i get BSOD during boot.
That leads to a posible wrong made driver by AMD, or am i missing something?
This problem happened in this thread also:
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=124382.0
Please help, should i send motherboard to RMA ?

by reading this thread i could see what stop error the BSOD was showing.
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=103936.0
and then i looked up the error here:
http://www.updatexp.com/stop-messages.html
My error was 0x0000007B and my 2nd parameter was 0xC000034.
Stop 0x0000007B or INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE
The Stop 0x7B message indicates that Windows XP has lost access to the system partition or boot volume during the startup process. Installing incorrect device drivers when installing or upgrading storage adapter hardware typically causes stop 0x7B errors. Stop 0x7B errors could also indicate possible virus infection.
The second parameter is very important because it can indicate whether the 0x7B Stop message was caused by file system issues or problems with storage hardware and drivers. Values of 0xC000034 or 0xC000000E typically indicate:
# Disks or storage controllers that are failing, defective, or improperly configured.
# Storage-related drivers or programs (tape management software, for example) that are not fully compatible with Windows XP Professional.
I read the possible solutions on that page but there aren't solutions at all... ¬¬

G700 Wi-Fi driver problem - Win 7

Hi all!
Im experiencing a weird problem with this model. I' ve installed Windows 7. Everything works except wireless. I've downloaded drivers from lenovo support site but they don't work. It starts installation and then a black CMD screen shows up and i just stops. I can't turn wifi on with fn buttons. I also tried to enable/disable wireless in BIOS, but still nothing. There is an unknown device showing up in device manager. It's probably wireless.
What to do? How to solve this? Anyone experiencing simillar problems? Help please.

Hi,
http://download.lenovo.com/consumer/mobiles/wlan120w7.exe
Please use this driver but:
Run this execute and it will extract the driver at the following location:
"c:\drivers"
Install thedriver via the "device manager" of Windows by using the Option "Update Driver Software".
Link to image 1
At the following menu you have to choose the option "Brwose my computer for driver software".
Link to image 2
In the following screen you have to enter the directory for the driver:
Link to image 3
Be sure to enable the option "Include subfolders"
By this way it works on my Computer.

T60p Driver Problem - Win XP Downgrade

Just downgraded to XP from Vista on my T60p (8743CTO). XP installs fine, but now I am missing the drivers for all my networking hardware so I am unable to get online to use System Update to reinstall everything else. In the Device Manager, Ethernet and Network Controllers are listed as unknown. I tried downloading all the availiable drivers from the Lenovo page, but none seem to fix the problem. What do I do?
Thanks.

Was this a "clean install" or did you use Lenovo's Rescue&Recovery downgrade disk set to install XP?
Either way, the most important part is to get the LAN (wired) working, then install System Update and let it do the rest for you (you will need Microsoft's .NET 2.0 for System Update to work!).
Right, so download the LAN drivers for the T60p from Lenovo --> here
Notice the "installation instructions" at the bottom of the page, follow the steps carefully, and you'll have a fully working wired connection. Keep in mind that the package will only decompress into a different folder on your C:\ drive, so the LAN drivers will not just install on their own. There's an extra step involved. The installation instructions on that page explain it all.
Next, download and install Microsoft's .NET Framework 2.0 from --> here
- Remember, without this, System Update will not work
Next, final step, download and install Lenovo's System Update found --> here
After installing that, you should be set. Start System Update and it will install the other drivers for your machine.
Hope this helps!

Satellite A100-920 - Audio driver problem - Win XP Pro

Hello all,
I am having an issue with an audio driver. I can't seem to find one that works anywhere, I have looked at multiple forums and the Toshiba website for suitable drivers with no success. I've basically hit a wall, so hopefully someone can provide a working solution. :)
Audio device:
Device: 82801G (ICH7 Family) High Definition Audio Controller
Manufacturer: Intel
(Details retrieved using a Ubuntu 9.04 Live CD)
Although a windows system labels it as "Realtek High Definition Audio Controller"? (I'm no expert with drivers, so maybe thats a stupid question...) :)
The computer is a Toshiba Satellite A100-920 (PSAA9E) running Windows XP Professional.
I have spent hours trying to solve this so I'm hoping this is the last mile. :) Thanks to anyone with any suggestions.
Best regards,
Alan

Hi
The sound driver is designed by Realtek!!!! So its a Realtek sound chip!
You need the Realtek sound driver and you can find it on the Toshiba European driver page as well!
You need also the SP3!
But the point is that SP3 has to be installed before sound driver!!!
If you have already installed the sound driver then remove it (uninstall).
You should also access the device manger and should remove the sound card from the device list!
Then reboot the notebook and after that install the Realtek sound driver again!!!

I have a MacPro that for some reason FCPX briefly "sees" my Raid drives then acts like the Events there don't exist. Seems like it wants to treat that drive like a "camera". Any ideas..help.. It sees the Main drive no problem.

I am having a problem with FCPX seeing my Raid drive as a Drive and not as a Camera.. Don't know what I might have done to change things..it was working fine and other than backing things up to external harddrive..not sure what happened. I reinstalled FCPx, checked the disk permissions and verified it with the disk utilities. any suggestions?
I am using a MacPro mid 2010.

D20 - 4158 with Marvel Raid + windows 7 failed to restart (Blue screen) after installation

I installed Windows 7 64 bit by providing the Marvell RAID driver downloaded from http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/downloads/detail.page?&LegacyDocID=MIGR-73716. The installation goes fine, when the computer restarts, the windows 7 logo flashes and then immediately the blue screen comes and then the computer restarts. This continues repeatedly.
I checked the Raid, we have one array with Raid 0 configuration. I could not find out why the OS installation goes fine but it fails to restart
Kindly provide some technical input.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

After double checking the link you provided....I'm confused on your setup. Can you reiterate which drives you have in the system and which ports they are connected to?
For a D20, you should have all HDDs attached to the blue ports. These ports route directly back to the Marvell controller. Then during the OS install, you need to supply the Marvell driver (not the Intel RAID driver that you specified in your link).
The only reason you would supply the drive you listed in your link is if you're attempting to run HDDs off the black ports on the system. This will work (but is not supported) for regualar HDDs in a non-RAID config. The D20 utilizes the ICH10, not the ICH10R, so there is no way to utilize RAID off these ports. The black ports are intended for ODD use only.
So I'm guessing you either have drives connected incorrectly, or you were attempting to provide the incorrect driver during the OS installation.

Problem with RAID drive purchased from Apple.

A RAID drive I purchased from Apple is not functioning- something about the battery. Can anyone explain this to me?
Thank you in advance!

Tom,
Some more information would help. Make, model, etc. Also, what exactly is the message? Is it an Alert? What does the console say?

Nvidia RAID Driver Disk

Nvidia RAID Driver Disk
The problem is with trying to Install Windows XP [Upgrade]. (Clean Install)
K7N2 Delta2-LSR
I tried using the nForce3 SATA RAID Driver For Win2k/XP after pressing F6,
during XP Install.
They don't work, and after trying a couple of times - got an error reading.
This Motherboard has an nForce2 Chipset, so I read the Manual.
It showed how to make an Floppy SATA RAID Driver Disk.
I tried to copy the SATA RAID Drivers from the MSI Driver's CD - but
got Disk Full.
Then I downloaded an Program to Format Floppy at 1.72MB, and copied
all the necessary files to Floppy.
Tried using it after pressing F6, but got Error - Unrecoginized Format.
(The Floppy did read OK, MS-WIN ME)
BTW I thought this Motherboard used nForce2 SATA RAID, why they include
nForce3 SATA RAID Driver Floppy - I wonder.
Any way to get SATA RAID Driver's that will fit on FDD 1.44MB ?
[size=18]TheCyberDude[/size]

[size=18]UPDATE[/size][/b]
I looked at the nForce3 SATA RAID Driver, and the Folder raidtool was not on it.
They Manual said to copy all files (Including Folders) to Floppy.
(This wasn't posible, because of size limitation - 1.44 MB)
So I made an SATA RAID Driver from the MSI CD, except I didn't copy the
Folder raidtool.
I tried to install Windows XP Again, it Took the SATA RAID Drivers OK -
but after it said Setup loading files and the STALLS at Setup is Starting
Windows.
Tried it again, except this time I got this error:
(File txtsetup.oem caused an unexpected error (1024) at line 1747 in
d:\xpsprtm\base\boot\setup\oemdisk.c.)
If I don't Press F6, it shows the partitions:
39080 MB Disk 0 at Id 0 on bus 0 on atapi [MBR]
C: Partition1 [FAT32] 78160 MB (77280 MB free)
39080 MB Disk 0 at Id 0 on bus 0 on atapi [MBR]
Unpartitioned space 39080MB
I was able to Format with NTFS (Successfully), but it wasn't recongized.
(Figured that it wouldn't - Because I was able to get SATA RAID Driver's loaded Successfully)
Just wanted to see what it would do.

Unable to capture to external RAID drive FCP 7

Here are my specs:
Model Identifier: MacPro1,1
Processor Name: Dual-Core Intel Xeon
Processor Speed: 2.66 GHz
Number Of Processors: 2
Total Number Of Cores: 4
L2 Cache (per processor): 4 MB
Memory: 4 GB
Bus Speed: 1.33 GHz
Boot ROM Version: MP11.005C.B08
Running:
OS X 10.5.8
Final Cut Studio 3 (recently upgraded from Studio 1)
At the end of last year I had a problem with capturing and upon research it seemed to be that the most recent update of QuickTime was not compatible with Final Cut Pro 5, which was causing my machine to not be able to capture at all. So we upgraded to Final Cut Studio 3 (FCP7) and part of the problem was solved but an issue still remains.
For over 3 years we have been using an external Raid drive as a capture scratch and we still have over 5 TBs free. The Raid is connected by SCSI. Earlier last year I was able to capture to the Raid drive without any problems but now the capture will freeze whenever that is set as the capture scratch. If I set the internal drive as the capture scratch it captures without any issues.
The problem is that using the internal as the capture scratch can only be a short term solution. The drive is only so large and I have a problem with finder if I try to move files from the internal drive to the external. Finder freezes up and I can't even force quit properly. So being able to once again use the external as the main capture scratch is the only real solution. The external is fully functionally and communicating with the Mac.
Any help with resolving this would be appreciated!

Off the top of my head, because I haven't worked with SCSI in years--
"The problem is that using the internal as the capture scratch can only be a short term solution. The drive is only so large and I have a problem with finder if I try to move files from the internal drive to the external. Finder freezes up and I can't even force quit properly. So being able to once again use the external as the main capture scratch is the only real solution. The external is fully functionally and communicating with the Mac."
Are you trying to move files while you have FCP open? The fact that simply moving files is giving you finder issues and freezing you up, says that all is not well with the scsi raid. You should not see that at all.
You might try powering down the mac and the raid, unplugging and letting the machine sit for a while to discharge the capacitors. Then try reseating the scsi card. (pull it out carefully and plug it back in.)
On another note, when you upgraded fcp, did you do a clean install?

Multiple users on single computer mounting same RAID drive

Hi I'm a newbie:)
I have multiple users on a single computer which need to mount the same RAID drive on a different networked computer. I have no problem making the mounts, the only thing is that when each user makes its mount the drive appears multiple times when doing an ls /Volumes. Ie, the first user mounts sparkle and it appears as sparkle. The second user mounts sparkle and it appears as sparkle-1. The third user mounts sparkle and it appears as sparkle-2. In the finder they all show up as just plain sparkle, but for running scripts, the hyphen-# screws things up. Does anyone know of a way to have the same drive mounted without the hyphen-#s?
Many thanks!
Megan

What kind of scripts? I don't think there's any way around the naming problem, but you could use regular expressions. I don't see why sparkle* shouldn't do the trick, or add sparkle-[0-9$] to whatever constuct you have.

Using a expresscard FW800; G-Raid drive unmounts on it's own

I'm using a NitroAV Fw800 dual expresscard to connect my 500gig G-Raid drive that i use for video editing. I have never had a problem with it using Tiger.
Ever since I upgraded to leopard it is behaving strangely.
I mount the drive and all is well, (this is an example of the problem I'm having with it) I used the drive to provide 3.8 gigs of info to burn a disk recently. It burned fine and when it was done the drive just sat there, turned on, mounted for a few minutes and then it unmounts itself.
When it's doing something it behaves fine, when I leave it alone for a bit it unmounts itself and I get the error saying that it has been removed without ejecting it first.
If I connect it via the built in FW400 port, it stays connected and I have no issues. other drive I have are FW400 and they behave perfectly.
I have never had this problem before. what could it be?

I spoke with the company that manufactures the expresscard (NitroAV) again and they said it is a foul up associated with upgrading to Leopard and not installing fresh and reformatting the hard-drive.
Has anyone else had this problem?
Is there anyway to have Apple address this problem?
thanks for any help.

Windows 7 - HP Laserjet 8500 print driver problem

I have tried everything imaginable to correct this HP 8500n print driver problem with no success, please help!
I cannot correct or get rid of a reoccurring “Incompatible Print Settings” error dialog box message that repeatedly states that “There are one or more conflicting settings. One of the settings is: Output Bin: Mailbox 1, Accessory Output Bin: Not Installed”. The radio button options are “Restore my previous settings or Keep this setting, and I will change it later”. This same dialog message repeats 13 times for all the other various conflicts each time you click on printer properties to change to 2 sided printing or any other printer settings. This printer does not have any of these features attached or set into it.
I am a volunteer that manages a number of computers on our small church LAN, 2 computers operating on MS XP-SP3, 2 on MS Windows 7 Home Premium and my 2 problem computers that came pre-installed with Vista Home Premium of which I have performed an HP OEM upgrade to Window 7.
I have isolated this print driver problem to the Vista operating system and even when computers are upgraded to Windows 7 does not correct this driver error. I have also tried every possible print driver variant of the HP 8500, HP8550, PCL, PS to include the Microsoft versus HP versions with no success. In each case I get this error yet neither of the XP computers or the computers that had Windows 7 as a original operating system have no problems with their print drivers for this printer.
Yes, I have repeatedly searched and upgraded the operating system and print drivers. In desperation I have even tried to find the correctly behaving Windows 7 print driver and transfer it to these Vista upgraded to Windows 7 machines. However I could not isolate the driver location.
The only thing I can conclude is that this errant HP print driver was resident within Vista and remains resident even after a HP OEM Windows 7 upgrade. Additionally, all of these computers are configured to access this printer via its static IP address on the network. The XP computers are 32 bit, all of the Vista upgraded to Win 7 and OEM Win 7 computers are 64 bit machines all with respective OS.
Can anyone please help me correct this problem?

Hi,
Unfortunately I can't see your uploaded image yet as it is awaiting approval from HP.
From what I can see you are correct that HP does supply drivers for this printer and that the drivers for your printer are already included with Windows 7. On the machines affected, try the procedure below to see if it helps at all
Next download revo uninstaller on the link below and install it.
http://www.revouninstaller.com/download-freeware-version.php
Disconnect the printer from the PC.
Run Revo and see if it finds any HP Printer Software installed. If it does, right click the software icon and select uninstall. During the process you may be asked to delete registry entries. If you are, just select all and click delete. Do the same for any left over files and folders. Once completed, reboot the PC.
Re-connect your printer to the PC and follow the guide below.
http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Document.jsp?&objectID=c02536257
If this helps you will need to repeat the process on each of the affected machines.
Best wishes,
DP-K
