Intel Raid1 SATA + Promise Raid1 IDE - Doesn't work! :-(

Hi,
I've been using 2 x 200GB Maxtor SATA drives on the Intel controller on an MSI 875P NEO FISR2 for months quite happily. I had a couple of 160GB IDE Maxtors lying around so i thought i'd make use of them on the Promise Controller. When i added the drivers and configured them for Raid1 all seemed fine. I formatted them in XP and started to use them. Things seemed a bit odd when i noticed that somthing seemed to be locking files after i'd copied a file over a network share to this PC using the Promise Raid1 IDE disks.
Whenever i clicked and selected or right clicked and viewed proprties for a file on this raid1 on the promise controller, if i tried to delete, amend or move the file XP would tell me that the file was in use by another person or program.
I've spent days on this and i know that no one else or another program is using this file. I can say this for sure as i totally formatted the PC and did a totally clean install of XP and created Restore Points before each driver was loaded. The problem only occured after i installed drivers for the Promise 378 controller (Driver version: 1.00.1.29
). I'm using the current ones off the MSI website (http://www.msi.com.tw/program/support/download/dld/spt_dld_detail.php?UID=434&kind=1). The ones off the original CD won't even detect the promise controller. I also updated the bios to v2.4. I have nothing else installed on this PC, no other drivers or programs, its Windows XP SP1. If i install the promise drivers i get this file locking problem, if i restore prior to installing the promise drivers then everything works fine.
Has anyone ever setup a Raid1 using SATA drives on the Intel controller and a Raid1 using IDE drives on the Promise controller at the same time?
This should be possible shouldn't it?
Having lost lots of data in the past, i'm over cautious now and like to have Raid1 everything! ;-)
Thinking maybe the latest drivers from the MSI website might be buggy i tried some others that i found for the same controller but now i just get an error code 10, the device cannot be started...

OS 10.8 just installed. "Hot Corner" to put new iMac 2.7 GHz Intel Core i5 to sleep mode doesn't work. Have tried cordless and corded mouse with same result. Momentary sleep, immediate wake. Any idea how to fix?

Set "hot corner" to put iMac to sleep. Doesn't work. Selecting the corner will momentarily put to sleep, but immediately rewakes. Have tried all four corners with same result. Have tried with wireless mouse and with corded mouse with same result. Any ideas as to how to fix?

You've been so great, I want to thank you for all the help over a very frustrating day. Last evening, I redownloaded and installed the fresh copy of Mountain Lion. The problem remained. After installing the new OS 10.8, any clicks on a web page (Firefox browser) didn't open the page, but instead made a copy of the page on the desktop. Felt it must be hardware degrading, so I set up a case with Apple support for today. Early in the diagnostics, I had swapped out for a corded mouse and the problem remained. As a last try, I changed out my wireless mouse for a different wireless mouse. That seems to have done the trick. My Logitech mouse is incompatible with OS 10.8.
Thank you again, so much!

Driver Intel USB 3.0 Driver for Intel 8 and U/Y Series doesn't work with a specific Kingston USB

Hello guys, just the other problem I'm facing with the 840 G2
I'm working in the MDT image for the HP 840 G2 and I would like to comment you one problem that I found with the USB 3.0 drivers. Based in your webpage, the last HP USB 3.0 official drivers are:
Intel USB 3.0 Driver for Intel 8 and U/Y Series Products
3.0.1.41 A from 15 dic 2014
I have found that those drivers doesn't work properly; if you insert a Kingston DTSE9 (32GB) the content of the usb will not be accessible randomly. The event viewer will display:
The driver detected a controller error on \device\harddisk1\DR13
To solve this problem you have to obtain the last version of the drivers from the Intel webpage:
https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/22824/USB-3-0-Driver-Intel-USB-3-0-eXtensible-Host-Control...
I have all the drivers properly installed and it seems that the computer is working fine, however I'm a little worry thinking if I should update all the driver to avoid possible problem like this one.
If you have found similar problems it would be nice to share it.
Thank you very much.

875P Neo FIS2R-Slow boot with Raid on Intel + Raid on Promise

Hello all.
Here is the configuration I'm trying to set up (and almost did)
SI 875P Neo FIS2R,MS-6758 BIOS v2.4
P4 2.6 GHz HT
500W 6fan total
2x1G Kit DDR 400
2x74 G WD Raptor Raid0 (Intel S1-2) Win XP inst
2x36 G WD Raptor Raid0 (Promise S3-4)
GeCube X1600Pro
DVD-RW (IDE 2 )
Win XP SP2 (All latest updates installed)
I followed the instructions as they are listed in the sticky (great job btw) and configured the 2 SATA 74G WD Raptor on Intel Raid controller(serial1&2) as Raid0 and install WindowsXP Prof sp 2 on it.
Then I configured the 2 SATA 36G WD Raptor on Promise controller(serial3&4) as Raid0 and added this Raid to the existing WindowsXP installation.
This set up is working very good once I'm logged into Windows with no problems at all.
The glitch is that I need 3 min waiting time till I see the windows loading logo.
I have all the latest drivers installed also IAA and INFs and my bios is as the default values except the changes mentioned in the sticky
Onboard Promise IDE - as Raid
ON-Chip IDE Configuration:
Native Mode
SATA Only
Keep SATA Active - Yes
Keep PATA Active - Yes
PATA Channel selection - Both
Configure SATA as Raid - Yes
I did the Win XP installation twice till now, taking care to install INFs and drivers in the right order but the result is the same...3-5 mins till I have a fully operational windows environment and after that all is running like a dream.
Now, I've searched in the forum and saw that many more people have the same problem but never read the solution to it, so if someone has ever found the way to solve this or has the same configuration please tell me how he did it. Even if someone knows that it can't be solved just drop me a line telling me so. Altough the system is running smoothly I find the 3 min waiting time unacceptable and frustrating. I've run out of ideas so please help me.
Thanks in advance

Hello Blazer and thank you for replying.
Answering one at a time...
are both raid arrays setup with the same stripe size?--> Yes Both arrays are configured at 16k stripes
do you see both the intel and the promise bios setup screens?-->Yes both screens (Intel(R) RAID... and Fast Built (tm) ...)appear almost instantly after MSI's logo screen showing my Raid arrays in Normal status. The delay starts after the Promise's screen till the Windows Loading logo screen.
how is the raid bootable drive identified in the boot from menu?-->
Boot Device Priority:
1st BBS-0 (Raid): Intel <name> (---> this is the OS drive on Intel controller)
2nd Disabled
3rd Disabled
Try other boot devices NO
I have also the option to select the the Drive on Promise which shows as BBS-1 (Raid) FT 378 Ary 1 but I have left it out cause it doesn't have the OS on it.
is the OS drive labeled as C: and seen as 200GB drive [as one] from the four drive array]--> No as it shouldn't cause these are two different Raid Arrays. The first Raid on Intel's controller with the 2x74G WD Disks indeed shows as one C: 137 G and has the OS on it. The second on Promise controller with 2x36G WD Disks also shows as one D: 70G.These are two separate Arrays with 2 disks each and they show as indented.
is network boot enabled causing a delayed boot?--> I don't quit understand what you mean. In case you mean what happens if I unplug the 2 disks from the promise controller then yes if I do that the system boots fast in the Windows even if I leave the Bios setting "configure promise as raid"!!!
My problem is similar with this post: https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=69994.0
other posts that have reported the same trouble:
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=94944.msg683258#msg683258

https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=66662.0
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=98005.0 ---> I wish it was that simple, I did it as with all other drivers
I hope that info helps you helping me.

Intel 80gb SATA SSD (problem)

I got the new 80gb SSD from Intel. I unplugged my IDE hard drives and plugged the SSD into SATA port 1 on the PM8M-V mother board. Installed Windows 7. Everything seems to work great.
The BIOS doesn't have any mention of SATA nor is SATA listed as a valid boot choice.
If I plug my original IDE hard drives back in, the computer boots right up to XP as I would expect. After updating the VIA drivers, I can now see the SSD in Windows XP.
If I just unplug my XP boot HDD, the machine doesn't get past the Boot from CD prompt and hangs. I was hoping it would find the OS on the SSD and boot Windows 7.
So, I can either boot the SSD with Windows 7 without my hard drives or boot the hard drives with Windows XP but I can't figure out how to boot from SSD (SATA) when my IDE drives are also attached. IDE drives are for storage (my OS will be on the SSD).
Booting Windows 7 from SSD is a dream though so I hope I can get this working.
Any Ideas??? Please???

It is confirmed that this board only runs on VIA controller for SATA and RAID.

I have a 2.2 GHz Intel Core i7 macbook pro that has lion installed when I recieved it, according to the support pages AHT is supposed to work over the internet if it wasn't installed, Mine wasn't and it doesn't work. Where can I download it from?

I Have a 2.2 GHz Intel Core i7 macbook pro, I recieved it with OSx 7.2 lion installed, I need to us AHT (apple hardware test) according to the support page that I copy here
Additional Information
Apple Hardware Test is included on the DVDs that are shipped with some Macintosh computers. If the copy on your hard drive becomes unavailable, use the DVDs to run Apple Hardware Test.
For Intel-based Apple computers that shipped with Mac OS X v10.5.4 or earlier, Apple Hardware Test is located on the Mac OS X Install Disc 1 and should be included with your computer.
For Apple computers that shipped with Mac OS X v10.5.5 to 10.6.7, Apple Hardware Test is located on the Applications Install Disc 2 and should be included with your computer.
For some Apple computers that shipped with OS X Lion, if Apple Hardware Test cannot be found on the hard drive, an Internet-based version starts up instead.
This doesn't work as the additional information statement says it should above. Could someone at apple give me an idea of where to get it or what the "REAL" solution is, since it doesn't work on an internet version which was confirmed today at the Genius Bar in the Apple store.
Please help me

Thanks, while it worked on yours it doesn't work on mine, any other ideas?
Are you holding down the "d" key, all by itself, just after the system shuts down for a restart?
And how long did you hold it down?
I held mine down for about 40-50 seconds. Then I lookat at my routers WAN light and it was flickering so I let up on the d key.
If that does not work then maybe there is something wrong with your MBP. Is that the reason you want to run this test, something isn't right with your unit?

[SOLVED] Xmonad: trasparency doesn't work with compton intel

Dear All,
I am having a strange issue with Xmonad and I am not sure whether it is a problem of my Arch or Xmonad configuration. I decided to ask on Arch forum first, as my other computer running Arch has exactly the same Xmonad setup and it works fine. I would appreciate assistance from some Xmonad or Arch proficient users on this.
Basically, I have this piece of code in my xmonad.hs:
myLogHook :: Handle -> X ()
, logHook = myLogHook dzenLeftBar >> fadeInactiveLogHook 0.8
On the other computer this makes all the unfocused windowses slightly transparent. I find this feature very useful as it helps me focus on the window I am working with.
For some reason this doesn't work on my laptop. My laptop is using xf86-video-intel since the lspci gave me
%lspci | grep VGA
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller (primary) (rev 03)
Also I am invoking compton-git from AUR but I have also tried with xcompmgr in my xinitrc and it gave exactly the same result - no transparency whatsoever.
I looked through my log file, but couldn't find anything relevant (please let me know if you can think of anything). How do I proceed with this issue? Do I try different composite managers? Do I try different drivers? Is there anyhting in X setup that I should include? Please let me know if you have any ideas.
Last edited by AlmostSurelyRob (2013-06-18 10:18:08)

I am very sorry. I've just discovered that neither compton nor xcompmgr were installed. It's not only solved, it should be marked as [NOT RAISED]. I was migrating my configuration and overlooked some erm... details.

You can't open Dictation & Speech preferences because it doesn't work on an Intel-based Mac.

I cannot open or use Dictation & Speech in System Preferences. When I try to open it I get the error:
"You can’t open Dictation & Speech preferences because it doesn’t work on an Intel-based Mac."
I have tried repairing the disk from the installation CD and repairing the permissions and I have also tried re-installing Mountain Lion but the feature still does not work. Any ideas?

Open Finder, press Option key and select Go > Library. Open Preferences and delete com.apple.systempreferences.plist. If you can't open, do a backup, format and install

I'm using OS 10.6.8 and Mail 4.5. When I receive mails with attachments which are visible the save button doesn't work. Some contacts have problems opening files sent by me using Mail too. This was never a problem on pre-Intel. A real Mac **** up !

Can you drag and drop the attachments visible in the email to the Desktop OK or does that fail ?
Re the sending: Are these recipients on Mac's or PC's as the file type could be an issue, if on Mac's then try setting the Mail Preferences Composing setting to Plain Text not Rich Text and see if that improves things.

Typeit4me doesn't work with Intel iMac?

I've tried installing the most-recent version (2.3) twice now, and regardless the Typeit4me icon does not appear in the menubar - as it should - it does not show-up under the Input Menu section of the International System Preference, and no typed shortcuts prompt any typing.
Does anyone know of a fix, or a patch to allow it to work with the Intel iMac?
Thanks.

Well, Typeit4me doesn't - that I'm aware of or have ever seen anyway. Of course, the MouseWorks software for my trackball doesn't work (that is a System Preference), but at-least I can see that.
Any idea on when such items will be able to work? I'm a little surprised Rosetta doesn't help here too.

SATA doesn't work

I have a weird problem. I jave OS X lion installed on my SSD. It doesn't work when it's installed in to the computer but when I boot it via USB it works. Something is wrong with the SATA connecton. What could it be? It's deffinetly a hardware thing. Could it be expensive to fix?

Here is the system info:
Model Name:
MacBook Pro
Model Identifier:
MacBookPro5,5
Processor Name:
Intel Core 2 Duo
Processor Speed:
2.26 GHz
Number of Processors:
1
Total Number of Cores:
2
L2 Cache:
3 MB
Memory:
8 GB
Bus Speed:
1.07 GHz
Boot ROM Version:
MBP55.00AC.B03
SMC Version (system):
1.47f2
Serial Number (system):
W893622466H
Hardware UUID:
D7A7BB3C-92AA-5D12-94B1-CE5F12A15CE3
Now something weird started happening. I had a spare HDD with os lion installed lying around (not an SSD) and tried installing it in to the computer. It didn't work. Then I tried USB and it worked. Then I tried my SSD again and now it won't even work on USB. I think I'll really have to have it serviced :/.

SATA - Promise to VIA

I have a single SATA drive on the promise drive. I have read that its only advantage over the VIA SATA controller is that the LED works. But I keep hearing that the VIA is faster overall.
Now, on SiS_Sandra, my SATA gets 43 MB/s. That seems slow. esp because my ATA133 drives (2 meg cache) get 50 MB/s.
I am thinking about switching to the VIA. Will that be hard to do??? ideas??

Gonna take look myself. I remember that the setup was daft. Hope u take comfort in the fact that it should work.
Nevertheless, 1 disk is an array, made up from 1 disk

I recently bought the 27" IMac. I have to force shut it down, the menu shut down doesn't work, and most of the time it will start back up on it's own several hours or even days later. Any ideas?

Note: No iMac PPC is 27". PPC is for the iMacs that were new until the beginning of 2006. They are all Intel now.

K9A2 CF IDE / PATA and SATA issue where IDE is master boot

Hi everyone,
I have built myself a pc using the K9A2-CF mboard and had trouble installing any OS on my SATA HDD. Both windows and linux installers said the drive was locked and i couldn't install anything into the partition. (I have a lot of data on this drive that I want to keep.) I couldn't even edit the partitions on the sata drive unless i deleted the master partition.
i bought a cheap 2nd hand PATA IDE disk, which i then installed winxp sp2 onto. (after some trouble as both drives were 'locked' meaning i had to delete and recreate the IDE partition) this eventually worked (IDE MASTER & Nbr1boot sequence). I even got my SATA drive working from windows.
This worked fine, but i switched off the PC and next day found it wouldn't work as the bios couldn't find the IDE drive anymore (takes a few mins to not find it too).
When I removed the SATA disk it worked ok. then when i reinstalled the sata disk it might work but then after a cold boot it doesn't. Any ideas?
I'm pretty sure that if i reformatted the sata drive then it would work. I wish i spent an extra tenner on a second sata. is there anyway the ide boot disk and sata storage disk can play together? i updated the bios to 1.5, played with ide jumpers. I even tried using a SATA to IDE connector that i used on my old PC but all it did was to display what looked like a graphics card code on it. (...GDDR4)
thanks in advance,
Colly

ok guys i'm sold on the psu. i do remember at one stage when playing around with settings and connections that the graphics card wouldn't send anything to screen. my tv card is stuttering too so it may well be psu reated (athough that could be the s/w).
Fredrik, I can't find your guide, can you post the link please?
I'm out of the dabs 7day warranty but if i buy another psu from them then maybe they'll take it back. ok then with my h/w spec:

- Maxtor 320GB HDD SATA
- Seagate 20GB HDD IDE
- DVDRW SATA
- WinTV 1110 HVR
- Wireless-n n/w card
...and considering i will at some stage put a phenom in there (and i gotta make use of that memory speed someday ), what psu should I buy? I've noticed that it's not really the wattage that matters but the amps down the rails? this is a budget pc btw so i've got about £45 to spend - or is that not enough?
thanks for your help - much appreciated!
