K8N 64bit sata raid drivers?

ANyone know where or how to get drivers for intalling 64bit windows on this motherboard. I cannot find any sata raid drivers for this board for w64. Thankyyou

Thankyou for your responses. I did try extracting the nvidia files to a floopy but I must have done something wrong. I did find a site that showed how to use the via drivers and make a txsetup.oem file, but that seemed to complicated. I know you folks will have an answer. Thanks again.

VIA SATA RAID Drivers

I lost the floppy disk containing the VIA SATA raid drivers for Windows Installation. My M/B is the KT600 FISR. So I kinda need the drivers as I am setting up a SATA drive.
Can someone please say where I can get the drivers, or email me the attached drivers.
My email is:
[email protected]
Thanks,
Sam

I am worried my floppy drive controller or something on the motherboard is not working. I tried the floppy disk containing drivers and Windows Installer said still said "Please insert the manufactuer's disk", I took out the disc and got the same message.
Then I booted up Windows Installer with the same floppy disk in a different MSI motherboard (a P4 mobo I have) and it detected the drivers fine.
Tried all the updated drivers you specified, and the floppy drive reads fine from Windows and is brand new (same problem with old one which I replaced only to find the same problem :
The mobo is still under warranty, should I give MSI / dabs.com a call?

P965 Platinum SATA RAID drivers to slipstream

Hey guys,
Once in a while I slipstream SATA and SATA RAID drivers into my WinXP Pro setup cd, so I will not need a floppy on any system. My setup cd now contains drivers for VIA VT8237, nForce3, Promise 20378 and Promise 20579 controllers. I would like to add Intel ICH8R drivers...
I know how to do it, that's not the issue. But on MSI's download section for my P965 Platinum I can find two drivers:
Which one is to be used to setup RAID arrays on the ICH8R? Both contain contents for a floppy, both folders and files look the same. It's just that they differ in size, so I'm not sure which one I need. Do I need to slipstream both drivers to setup a RAID 0, 1 or 5 array?
Thnx in advance...

Alright, thanks. Why the first one and not the second one? Is there a difference between the two? I can not slipstream both, as they are both named "iastor.sys"...
"I can not slipstream both, as they are both named "iastor.sys"..."
you no need to put them both, only one of them.
they are the same version, all files match except iastor.sys size (in same time both iastor.sys are "same version" too.. 6.0.0.1022)
"Why the first one and not the second one?"
just guess, because MSI put them as ICH8R SATA RAID Driver as primary. if you have any problems you can try drivers from second achieve.

WinXP Pro 64, any nForce3 SATA/RAID drivers?

Im looking to install Windows XP pro 64 bit and notice the only drivers that are missing in the download section is the Raid drivers for Nforce3.
Do i install the regular XP ones or does 64bit have them on disk already? http://www.msi.com.tw/program/support/download/dld/spt_dld_detail.php?UID=572&kind=1

Quote from: Supershanks on 15-August-05, 19:39:15
I'm confused your after nvidia drivers yet spec shows = VIA® K8T800 chipset.
If Nvidia d/load the nvidia64 drivers & make a new floppy with the updated drivers. to do this Right click the D/L driver File & select unpack/unzip. Navigate to the \Nvidia\nForce_vrsion ?? \IDE\WinXP folder copy everything except the raidtool Folder onto floppy.
luck
Why are you confused? i want to know why or if i can use regular XP pro raid drivers for my Nforce3 chipset on MSI neo platinum board if i install Windows XP pro 64-bit edition. There is no 64 bit download for them so , do i need any?

Using Latest SATA Raid Drivers When Installing Windows XP?

Getting my raid 0 setup on my K8N Neo4/SLI board wasn't as easy as it should have been. I ran into a few problem with my raid drivers that came with my system. While I was trying to install Windows XP, the system refused to restart itself even after the installation was done. A push of the reset button was necessary to help continue the install. Only after I installed the latest nForce 4 Forceware drivers was everything working the way it was supposed to. Since I would like to avoid this trouble the next time I decide to set up raid, how would I go about creating a floppy disk that contains the latest raid drivers to use for a Windows install? Thanks!

Download the manualhere. Then refer to from page 6-2, you will know how to configurate the raid.
My friend has the same mainboard as yours, so I just refer him for the information you need.

K8N Neo2 SATA Raid problem finally solved

Hi guys,
finally got my SATA Raid 0 array to work.
Problem was that XP didn't find a correct array on installation although i used F6
to load drivers from disk. Sometimes it didn't detect any hard disk, sometimes
it showed two hd's and an array and so...
The whole spectrum of errors mentioned here over the last days and weeks...
I tried different bios like 1.1, 1.2, 1.2b5, 1.3b5 and i got the newest drivers
directly from nvidia as mentioned in some other thread. Nothing worked.
One should think that nvidia would have the latest drivers... but that was the
major fault.
As mentioned in a different thread i downloaded the unified nforce drivers from
nvidia's homepage and extracted the ide drivers to a floppy. I used these drivers
in all of my attempts and it never worked..
Yesterday i downloaded the MSI Nvidia nForce3 System Drivers package 5.03 from
http://www.msi.com.tw/program/support/download/dld/spt_dld_detail.php?UID=607&kind=1
and compared the version numbers to the files from the nvidia package.
The relevant files nvatabus.sys and nvraid.sys are version 5.10.2600.412 from
nvidia while the MSI versions are 5.10.2600.446 !!
I put these files on the disk, set up my bios (default 1.1) from scratch, started XP installation,
hit F6, loaded the new drivers and voila... one 230 gb array ready for installation
Took me FOUR days to figure this out. THANK YOU MSI support team,
wherever you are.... (definitely not working on an updated hp)
So to put it in one line:
What really worked for me were the drivers from the MSI nforce3 driver package 5.03
No messing around with beta bios, no voltage tweaking or SATA 3/4 preferred
or DIMM Slot preferred crap.
Of course you have to set up an raid array as described in rsheppicks raid setup guide
Only thing about bios versions is that only in bios 1.1 i got an array shown in the
hard disk boot priority list
So i hope this helps you guys out there that are having troubles setting up SATA Raid.

OK now! Dag, I was going crazy. I had two brand new Raptors and was trying to hook them up in a RAID 0 config. I am no dummy. It would hang at detecting arrays. I could not figure it out for the life of me. I will not talk about all of the combos that I tried. My buddy told me to try datalifeguard from WD. I did. Well, one HD showed no serial number in the extended test. An error message popped up. Said the drive was not working. So, Newegg sends me a dead drive and wastes days and days out of my life. I hooked up the one good drive just now. What do I see? For the first time in my life, I am seeing the raid bios! This almost cost me a divorce. Seriously though, the wife would come in and rub my shoulders like a fighter after a few hours of getting my azz whipped by this new rig. I am now going to make the floppy with the newer drivers like was done here. Just incase. I am in Raid bios now in the other room. Time to go set up XP on one drive for now. I refuse to wait for the RMA'ed second Raptor.

2 SATA RAID drivers come with Neo4?

I don't get it.. The Neo4 comes with 2 floppy disks. One SATA RAID Driver from Silicom Image, and one from nVidia.
Why 2, is one better than the other?
And why do I need to install it? I don't use RAID, I only have one SATA disk in my system. Yet "RAID Driver" comes up as uninstalled in my Device Manager?

My motherboard has 8 SATA ports http://images10.newegg.com/productimage/13-130-484-02.JPG see? 4 orange 4 purple.
But I only use SATA1 (one purple)
Why do I need to disable the others, do they clutter up system speed? do they steal power?
Which one should I use for my single harddisk, does it make any differnece if I use orange or purple? It's like choosing red or blue pill, I have no clue.

K8N Platinum - SATA RAID issue

Hey there everyone, I have recently decided to reinstall XP on my system and I require the drivers that were included on the two floppy disks that came with my Mobo. I have recently moved houses and lost both of the disks in the process. I have tried a variety of drivers from the internet but to no prevail. I cannot remember what the disks were labeled as but Im hoping somebody out there has them!

read Moan Guide
do you mean K8N Neo Platinum board? if yes you can find drivers which you need here:
http://global.msi.com.tw/index.php?func=downloaddetail&type=driver&maincat_no=1&prod_no=574
if no be more specific for the exact mainboard model.

P55-CD53, how to install SATA AHCI drivers and Matrix Storage Manager?

Please excuse my noobness as this is for my first PC build and much of it is Greek to me, but could someone please inform/educate me as to what the following drivers (link) are for and which need to be installed after a fresh installation of Windows 7 Pro x64? Do I need to install all of them because some of these appear to be redundant, just from different manufacturers, or am I mistaken? I have a single 500GB HDD but will probably add more down the road.

After booting from the Windows 7 disc, I selected Repair Windows, Load Drivers. Which specific controllers do I need to install for the P55-CD53 MB since there are multiple controllers listed for each of the four SATA compressed files?
Considering the multiple files and multiple controllers, is there no one out there with a P55-CD53 that has AHCI mode enabled that can give dumbed down instructions on how to do so?
The manual states "Select the appropriate RAID controller and press enter." Well... which one is the appropriate controller? Am I suppose to load the driver for all the AHCI controllers if that's even possible?
For the Intel P55 AHCI / RAID Drivers compressed file, these are the controllers available within F6flpy64\iaAHCI.inf:
Intel(R) ESB2 SATA AHCI Controller
Intel(R) ICH 10D/DO SATA AHCI Controller
Intel(R) ICH10R SATA AHCI Controller
Intel(R) ICH7M/MDH SATA AHCI Controller
Intel(R) ICH7R/DH SATA AHCI Controller
Intel(R) ICH8M-E/M SATA AHCI Controller
Intel(R) ICH8R/DH/DO SATA AHCI Controller
Intel(R) ICH9M-E/M SATA AHCI Controller
Intel(R) ICH9R/DO/DH SATA AHCI Controller
Intel(R) PCH SATA AHCI Controller
Intel(R) PCHM SATA AHCI Controller 4 Port
Intel(R) PCHM SATA AHCI Controller 6 Port
Also, regarding the dual BIOS controls for SATA/IDE/RAID settings previously mentioned, I believe SATA ports 1-6 are controlled via Intel and 7,8 are controlled via Jmicron. Considering my HDD is currently plugged into SATA 1, Jmicron probably isn't necessary for the moment.
Edit:
Turns out that none of the drivers for the controllers listed in iaAHCI.inf could be installed. However, I went ahead and installed the drivers listed for all the controllers in iaStor.inf. I reinstalled Windows 7 to get rid of the BSOD. I then installed the chipset drivers and Intel Matrix Storage Manager.

MSI K8n Neo2 platinum and drivers chipset, 5.03 or 5.10?

Hello,
J reinstalled my K8n neo2 with XP SP2, A64X2 4200+, XFX 7600GT ....
On MSI website there is 5.03 drivers for this motherboard. There is no 5.03 on nVidia website drivers archive?
On nVidia website there are 5.10 and 5.11 drivers. j look here that 5.11 is not very stable.
So, what is the best: 5.03 or 5.10?
Excuse j write not very good english!
Thank.

The 5.10 works fine - 5.11 has cause network problems for most people. There are better (V4.79) IDE/SATA/RAID drivers available if you want to do your own mix: DL the 6.37 Beta from here http://downloads.guru3d.com/download.php?det=971 and replace the IDE subfolder in the C:\NVIDIA folder from unpacking the 5.10 nVidia driver pack with the IDE folder from the 6.37 Beta, then run the Setup.Exe in the 5.10 subfolder. 6.37 Beta was nVidia's early attempt at a unified nForce3/4 driver pack but they gave up the unified idea without ever publishing one. There may even be better "mixes" available but this works for me and I've been running a RAID-1 with them for 2 years now with no faults.

[Athlon64] 'No disks detected' when installing WinXP64bit on striped SATA RAID

I've been using my RS480M2 board with a dual boot config (WinXP Pro 32bit and WinXP Pro 64bit) using a Maxtor Diamond Plus 80G SATA hard drive configured as an IDE/ATA. I set the controller as "IDE Controller" in the bios. Everything has been working just fine and I must say that I really do notice a big performance improvement on the WinXP64bit compared to the WinXP32bit.
I then purchased another Maxtor 80G SATA with the intention of setting up a SATA RAID 0 (striping) config to see if I will get more performance gain. So I changed the controller to "SATA Raid Controller" in the bios. Then I used the Sil3112A GUI (by pressing F4) to configure my 2 SATA hard drives as RAID 0. I tried installing WinXP Pro 64bit but the SATA RAID drivers I've tried just do not work. The Windows setup would indicate that there are no disks detected. I already tried the 32bit SATA RAID driver, the one at Silicon Image site, a few ones at PlanetAMD64, etc. No luck!!!
So I just installed WinXP Pro 32bit using the provided Sil3112 SATA RAID driver floppy diskette that came with my board. And it installed without any problems. All is well. So the problem is: WHERE THE HELL CAN I GET A SATA RAID DRIVER FOR WINXP64BIT???
To anyone who has the solution to my problem, kindly email the driver (or link) at [email protected]
Thanks.

Sorry for the late reply. I finally got to install Windows XP Pro 64bit onto my RS480M2-IL configured as SATA RAID 0 (striping) with 2 80G DiamondPlus SATA hard drives. The sata drive that worked is the one on this link:

SATA RAID and K92A Platinum

OK Guy’s
I need your assistance here. I just purchased a MSI K92A Platinum motherboard and having the darnest time setting up RAID 0 (or any RAID period). Before I go any further this is my setup.
SATA 1 Western Digital WD2500JS 250GB SATA
SATA 2 Western Digital WD2500JS 250GB SATA
SATA 3 LITE-ON 20X DVD SATA MODEL LH-20A1S
SATA 4 Western Digital WD2500JS 250GB SATA
SATA 5
SATA 6
Floppy drive installed
Memory: Kingston Hyper 2GB 1066 (x2)
Processor: AMD 6400+ (3.2)
Video: Ge Force 8800 GTX
In the basic (CMOS) screen I see all my drives. When I move to the advance screen and select RAID. All the drives including my DVD disappear from the basic (CMOS) screen. In the RAID utility, I see all three hard drives (minus the DVD drive). I created my RAID 0 with two of the drives and left the last drive free for future use. The problem arises when I reboot and try to use my DVD drive with Windows VISTA. After the initial boot from the Windows CD, I followed the on screen instruction by selecting the install tab. It would prompt me for my license number and move to the next screen. After that it would return with the error unable to find DVD/CDROM (no further installation possible). Just remember it had booted off the CD in the first place. Not sure what is the problem. Unfortunately I can’t install WINDOWS on a RAID drive until I figure out why when I select RAID that my DVD is not seen correctly after booting .
All things being equal, I have no problem installing WINDOWS without defining a RAID device on this motherboard. All the drives are seen including my DVD. A little history I just came from using an ASUS MSN-SLI Deluxe motherboard and I did not have any of these problems. At this point is seems ASUS had the easiest RAID utility. Final note, hardware is good and tested. Any response would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance
Richard

No, you can use as many as you would like. It's just that RAID 0 with three drives is not possible on the Promise controller (red ports), as it has only two ports. Therefore you will need to use the SB600 controller, which is somewhat picky about SATA RAID drivers...
Anyway, the Promise controller is already disabled. Set your SB600 controller to RAID in your BIOS, then enter the FastBuild utility using CTRL + F when prompted. Build the array to your likings and save the settings, then boot from your Vista DVD. If you're lucky the drivers from the MSI CD (for Vista) will work. Otherwise you will have to start trying SB600 SATA RAID drivers from other manufacturers, those from DFI are known to work quite well.

K9A Platinum Raid Drivers = Information

Just figured I would let everyone know that for some reason MSI has two Raid Drivers listed for this. The "IDE" Raid Drivers are the actual ATI Raid Drivers.
Why they have SI Drivers, the "SATA" raid drivers, listed is beyond me. I grabbed them first thinking they were what I needed only to discover "after" I was home from my Fiance's w/ a Laptop with no floppy that they were the wrong drivers.....

Does anyone know where I can get working drivers? Because without them, I can't get the Windows installation to detect my hard drives.

K7N2 Delta & SATA RAID

Good day, I have not been sucessfull in gettind the onboard SATA working, and when I tried a promise SATA (non raid) controller card, the system halted at the 378 screen, I guess they were conflicting.
Now that I still want SATA I would like to know if this card:
http://www.monarchcomputer.com/Merchant2/merchant.mv?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=M&Product_Code=150917&Category_Code=HDCards
would conflict as well?
Thanks

BigMak,
There are several things you need to do to use the onboard SATA RAID:
1) Set SCSI in the Boot Order of the BIOS
2) In the SATA RAID Contoller you need to setup a RAID Array with your SATA Drive.
3) When you start the WinXP install you need to hit F6 and install the SATA RAID Drivers.
If you are going to use a PCI SATA Contoller, you need to put it in PCI Slot 3.
Take Care,
Richard
P.S. as for your question in the other thead, I do love my Raptor Drives.

SATA RAID problem on K8N Neo2 Platinum (nForce3 ultra) & winXP x64

I entered on MSI driver dowload page, put my model, and i found out that the RAID driver for win x64 wasn't released (nforce3 ultra), but in the same page was the driver for the nforce4, so I supposed it was compatible. I made the driver disk. press F6 and he askme for the drivers, ok, i introduce BOTH drivers, he detects perefctly the SATA RAID (stripping) format the disk, copy the files and ask me for some .CATof teh raid driver that wasn't on the zip file.... omit files, reboots, completes the instalation, but on the first boot of win x64 when it's just about to show the windows screen, a bue windows, and resets the pc so fast that's unreadable. fail safe start.. same crash.
I Installed win on an IDE and it run prefectly... In th other hand... without installing any driver the windows instalation recognices the SATA drives, but not the RAID. Maybe I just got to install the raid driver but not the SATA driver... the nforce3 driver form nvidia.com is pretty old... The real funny is that when i installed winXp x64 BETA i hadn' any problem... (winXP 64 doesn't admit the 32 bit driver=
Which driver i'm supposed to install? to INSTALL winxp64 on a SATA RAID and make it boot from there?
Thaks a lot

HI! i'm the one wih the raid problem on a k8n neo2....
That's what a i Did.. i unpacked the exe and copy the files in a floppy... question is: if i do that, windows instaler askme for some files that aren't in the .exe, anway it reconices the raid and everithing goes fine until the first BOOT on windos... it shows a blue screen, butremoves it so fast that i cant read it or pause the system. But i know it's a raid problem because if i install it on a ide disk it works.
The nforce3 drivers are almost a year old, and i'm not sure if nforce4 is compatible...
I think the're compatible because if you enter in msi driver download page and select my model, they put the Nforce3 and nforce4 for win64 and my model is only nforce3. The thing is they havent released the nforce3 for WIN 64.... So.. It's normal that win asks me for some files that ain't in the .zip file (i extracted the files o course) and Which driver should i put the Nvidia one year old nforce3 or the new nforce4. (the nforce3 for 32 bits is rejected by windows) or... i have to wait the new nforce3?
thanks for helps
