Help me PLEASE kt4 raid bios

Ive already read through loads of posts but im not sure where im going wrong. i have a kt400 ultra and i use my pc as a HTPC, so as i fill a HDD with films i go out and buy another. now ive filled all my IDE1 and 2 ports and i just baught another 120gig maxtor drive and just wanna use it, for the time being on its own if possible in IDE3. Dont really care about performance just want it to work. Now ive plugged my hdd in and booted the machine , Gone in to the RAID BIOS and auto setup defined an array, witch went fine, re-booted and the drivers for the raid wouldent install properly it said CODE10 i beleave. So i restarted the machine to see if that sorts it and now the RAID BIOS has dissapeared. ive tried changing the IDE Cable and tried all the HDD jumper settings. i can get the bios to come up if i disconnect the hdd, boot, shutdown re-connect the hdd and boot again then its there and it sees the array but the drivers still wront start in winXP. Are u just not allowed to run one HDD on the raid in with case ill go out and buy anoter SATA drive, Or is this some weird fault.
Thanks for any replys

Surelly you will agree with me that the most common post about arrays, is the one that says that the array controller seems don´t like spare disks no matter what says the instructions. 8)

Raid BIOS Gone (KT4 Ultra-BSR)

I recently bought a Serial ATA Hard Drive wanting to install it on the raid controller. But when I went to enter the Raid Controller's BIOS FastBuild Setup (at boot-time), it never shows up.
I have the KT4 Ultra-BSR, and I can see the RAID Controller enable/disable option in the Integrated Peripherals. I have it enabled, but it NEVER displays the RAID bios at boot-up. This is the second KT4 Ultra I've had and I know I saw the RAID bios on the first one I had. I have the latest system BIOS installed (1.30).
Has anyone experienced this and/or know how to fix it? Is there a way for flash the RAID controller to possibly fix it? Did the entry to the setup change from whats in the manual (ctrl-F4)?
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks

I've seen a couple other post like yours Shark. While that makes me feel a little more comfortable that other are having similar problems, I thinks mine's a little different. I don't ever remember seeing the RAID BIOS on this motherboard. I've tried turning it off and on in a row to see if mine would eventuall show, but I never see it.
Does anyone from MSI read these? I think something should be done.

Solaris possibly preventing RAID BIOS launch

Hello
I have installed a STLab A-230 2-Channel Serial ATA & ATA-133 RAID Combo and tried to boot into its RAID BIOS with no luck. The initial loading menu quickly switches to the multi-boot menu where you select to boot into Solaris or another OS. I am supposed to press Ctrl-Z, but it just switches to the boot menu without bringing up RAID BIOS. Please let me know if this would be to do with the installed Solaris and its uninstallation would solve it.
Regards,
Dai

You can use SMC for other purposes but it won't help your with RAID.
Sol 10 1/06 has raidctl which handles LSI1030 and LSI1064 RAID�enabled controllers (from raidctl(1M)).
Some of the PERCs (most?) are LSI but I don't know if they are chipsets used by your PoweEdge (I doubt it).
Generally you can break it down like this for x86:
If you are using hardware RAID with Solaris 10 x86 you have to use pre-Solaris (i.e. on the RAID controller) managment or hope that the manufacturer of the device has a Solaris managment agent/interface (good luck).
The only exception to this that I know of is the RAID that comes with V20z, V40z, X4100, X4200.
Otherwise you will want to go with SVM or VxVM and manage RAID within Solaris (software RAID).
SMC etc are only going to show you stuff if SVM is involved and VxVM has its own interface, otherwise the disks are controlled by PERC and just hanging out as far as Solaris is concerned.
Hope this helps.

Unable to enter KT6 Delta-LSR RAID-BIOS

I recently purchased all the components for a new computer. specs should be listed as signature since this is my first post here. I was waiting on some SATA adapters since I bought older PATA drives and was eager to get things going. I put the computer all together and installed Windows XP. No problems whatsoever. I get the adapters and go to hook up the SATA RAID. No problems there. Boot up the computer and enter the RAID-BIOS. Create a RAID 1 array and all is well. On next reboot, I get the following message. "Hardware Initiate Failed, Please Check Device! The Bios does not be installed. Please press to continue"
So, I check the BIOS, SATA doesn't even show up as a BBS boot device although it is enabled. Power Supply isn't the issue because all works well via PATA minus the RAID of course. I tried to clear CMOS and flash the BIOS, but all to no avail. I am near my wits end with this. Any help would be greatly appreciated. By the way, Legacy USB support has been turned off all throughout.
Has anyone encountered this problem or know a fix?

hi,
I have a similar problem....
my win2k recognized the hd (maxtor diamond 9+ 80gb sata) but win doesn't let me access or neither see the hd....
when i press tab after post I can't select any option so I can't create a array...
and maxtor says that sata hd (or maybe his ones) don't have jumper to set....
I don't know what to do....
moreover i have updated the bios with new one and I try later clearing the cmos but nothing to do....
someone can help me please????
thank you

KT4A Ultra-FISR: unable to enter Raid Bios

System ran fine for about two months. Yesterday, raid went offline (maybe due to recent data loss). Started the machine today to find out that I can't enter the raid bios anymore??? Machine displays the boot screen, then beeps and the XP-Logo shows up. No way to press 'Ctrl+F', no sign of the controller, although it's activated in the bios and installed in Windows. Resetted the bios (V3.0), switched drives but menu still won't show up.
Any ideas? Is there a new bios?
PLEASE HELP, TIA.

I am no good at this, but since you say your problem started when you for some reason lost the device or the BIOS(?), the computer cannot find the device, so it doesn't display any info about it.
My guessing is you should try to find it again. Would resetting the NVRAM help?
If that doesn't do it, try clearing CMOS. But follow the manual strictly, so you don't harm yourself or your system.

Installed a RAID card in my Dell Inspiron 3847. However, the RAID BIOS does not show up and I cannot install Windows 7 to it.

That is basically a summary of the problem The Dell Inspiron 3847 does not come with RAID, so I tried installing a PCI-express 1x RAID card. However, the RAID BIOS never shows up. The HDDs show up when I install the RAID controller driver in Windows 7 setup, but I cannot install Windows 7. I am using an IOCrest SY-PEX40008 RAID card with a Silicon Image Sil3124 chipset.
I tried pressing the hotkeys for the RAID BIOS listed in the card's manual, but it seems to just cause bootup to freeze. BIOS also does not seem to detect the RAID card HDDs as boot options.

%AppData% is the name of an environment variable.
On XP that variable points to C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Application Data\
"Application Data" in XP/Win2K and "AppData" in Vista/Windows 7 are hidden folders, use %APPDATA% in the File name field

Need help with how to reset bios and admin password to reformat hard drive in 8440p elitebook.......

need help with how to reset bios and admin password to reformat hard drive in 8440p elitebook? removal of cmos, resetting laptop, using cccleaner, windows password recovery and hiren's was noneffective, any help is appreciated. thanks

Hi,
As your notebook is a business class machine, security is more stringent - the password is stored in non-volatile memory and there are no 'backdoor' passwords. Your best option would be to contact HP regarding this.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

Mobo MSI KT4 Ultra, bios 1.30

?( Is this possible, if i connect two disks(master and slave) to ide3(raid)
slot and CDRW to ide1 slot, master(udma). Boot from master disk and reinstall windows xp
and Promise raid driver, so on......??!!
Disks are Seagate Barracuda IV 60Gb(identical). And is raid-0 any faster than typical ide100? Do i have to setup raid-1 if i wanna more speed(seektime etc)?
How to setup arroy?
And what is raid bios? What is newest and how to upgrade....?

In the beginning it is difficult. Take it slow. You can work out yourself by using the web as the medium to provide you more information about RAID. There are plenty of search engines to help you.
Here is one article you can read: http://www.anandtech.com/storage/showdoc.html?i=1491 It is not idiot proof kind of article though. You need basic knowledge about storage devices.
There is a guide here to be able to help you. But DO NOT ATTEMPT if you don't understand it.

D20 Marvell raid bios update.

Ok i have a pair of Lenovo D20's here one is a 4158-W5K & the other is a 4158-B6U I just noticed that one unit has a different Marvell bios than the other one. Is there any way to update them to the newest raid bios? Any help would be appriciated.
Mike

Can you confirm the FW level for each individual system?
I don't think we normally push FW updates for the Marvell controllers in 20 series out to the field as there is some risk in customers messing things up and rendering their systems unusable. It's a small risk, but it still exists.
Do you have a reason to have the systems on the same FW levels (i.e. are you encountering a problem on one that you're not seeing on the other)? Most of the FW updates for the Marvell controllers were pretty benign in nature as I recall. Small bug fixes here and there really.

Dv6809wm nvidia Ethernet Controller driver help me please.

My notebook is a dv6809wm. I am Korean, but also the This is South Korea.
After installing Windows 7, nvidia Ethernet Controller, driver can not find.
Windows xp, Vista, 7, installed it several times, nvidia Ethernet Controller driver can not find. Chipset nvidia 630a, installing, and even install sp37730, the Internet should not.
What should I do? You help me please.

This used to be a sticky post but should have your answers. Install the AMD chipset driver for the dv65zz and higher AMD models. This is a Vista driver and may have to be run in compatibility mode but will provide ethernet functionality:
http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebook-Operating-Systems-and-Software/Windows-7-Upgrade-Guide-for-dv6...
It is a long post but the AMD chipset driver is near the top. I see you already tried SP37730 and it is not working for you so you may have to do a manual install by pointing the driver installer to the subfolder where sp37730 unzips, containing the ethernet and make it take the ethernet driver .inf file.
You may also want to try one of these drivers:

Use the ones labelled: 3. "Special MCP65-67 nForce Driverpacks for Vista/Win7"

SATA RAID conflics with POMISE T3 RAID Bios

I've read quite a few of the RAID setup issues concerning the "Extra" RAID settings under "integrated peripherals" for the K9A2 Platinum. My problem seems to be a bit unique. I can't get both the SATA RAID and the Promise "Fast Track" to work together. If I enable the Extra RAID Controllers the Fastrack Bios does not recognize my SATA RAID.
This simply means that for some reason the motherboard SATA RAID conflicts or disables the PROMISE RAID Bios and vice versa. So I have not been able to activate my eSATA ports or use anything connected to the SATA5-6 ports without going into the CMOS and setting SATA DEVICES to IDE and then turning on the EXTRA Raid Controller under "Integrated Peripherals" in the CMOS. Unless I'm wrong. I am almost sure that this scenario is right.
The second issue is that I cannot get my ram to go in DUAL CHANNEL mode. But I will post that issue another time.
thx

With Vista Ultimate SP1 on my machine the USB Flasher Tool kept on crashing when the BIOS was at v 1.2 on the KA92 mainboard.
The DOS window came up fine but it appeared that every susequent module that was brought up for detecting the motherboard caught some kind of conlfict and terminated causing Vista to summon the program terminated message box. Eventually the dos prompt would state that it could not detect the motherboard and close. All in red text. This happened only when I flashed the BIOS with v1.2. I wanted to go back to 1.3 just to verify that the BIOS version was the cause and the only reason I got back to 1.3 or 1.4 easily was becaus it was backed up by the tool so all I had to do was rename the backup.bin file(s). Again everything went as expected with the USB Flasher Tool until I loaded the v1.2 BIOS. It could not even detect the mainboard.
The only reason I didn't need the tool anymore was that it backed up the versions of the bios for each time that I had flashed the bios previously.
