K9A2 *V1* Bios 1.8 - No drivers for Promise RAID controller.

Does anyone know which set of Promise Raid drivers work with the updated Promise firmware that is part of the 1.8 bios update?
Version 1.2 of the bios includes Promise version 28.1030.0021 which works with at least 1.1.1030.27 of the promise drivers.
Version 1.8 of the bios includes Promise version 28.1030.0032 for which I cannot find any working drivers; do they exist? (Vista cannot see the controller and is unable to locate a suitable driver. Trying to use existing promise driver fails since it will not recognise the device)
Just had a brainwave. On the MSI site, there is an updated driver pack for the Promise controller (this is a V1 board); this version is
Vista32/64 Ver.: 1.1.1030.47
Is this the version that is compatible with v1.8 of the bios (and hence 28.1030.0032)?

Give them a try, they if they work will show soon enough.

  • K9A2 Platinum bios 1.4 or 1.5 Promise RAID fail Boot.

    Ok I have BIOS version 1.3 running fine. I want to upgrade to a bios that officially support the phenom and its power usage. So back in may I try to upgrade to bios 1.4. No good the machine will not boot the RAID set that contains window XP.  :( Reverted back. Contacted support. Not much help... a few weeks pass. Contact support again they send me bios version 1.51. Same issue.  Reverted back to 1.3. Recently I tried the final release of 1.5 with the same issue. 
    Anyone out there using a phenom on the K9A2 and booting with the Promise RAID controller in a striped 0 set ? How did you get it to work with the current bios version. Tech support 'claims'  they have no problem with the bios and that they have tested it with the promise controller booting to XP.
    Thanks,
    Jon Harrell

    Considering the very large files that regularly run through the system and the extra cpus that windows inefficiently uses I doubt a software controller would impact the performance gains significantly. The units we have prep large format presentations and regularly handle very large files. Bandwidth is key. If this was the average desktop or even a web server yes 1 drive would most definitely be faster. But that would be a different subject.
    Although now we might just be considering scraping the whole MSI created mess, and purchasing a hardware solution like that of the quad sata raid in our server.
    But for now:
    Does any one know the perfect combination?
    e.g. Promise driver 1.1.1030.47 !work with Bios 1.50 (promise 2.8.1030.0032)

    The supplied disk only supports windows ;(
    Can any one advise options thanks  :P

  • I can`t install drivers for Promise IDE on WINXP.

    Hi, guys. I have a problem. I can`t install drivers for Promise IDE on WINXP. I `ve got an error "This device cannot start. (Code 10)". In Norton Ghost (DOS) drive on Promise work fine. I can`t install WINXP + SP1 on HDD on Promise controller. After pressing F6 and installing driver i `ve got an error Can`t find drive. BIOS 193 beta. Devices: IBM 120Gb 180GXP on primary master, Seagate 120 SATA 26AS on Third master. CD-ROM and DVD-ROM on secondary channel. Drivers 1.00.1.37 from ASUS and 1.00.1.29 from MSI. No result.
    And another one. Why very poor perfomance when copying large files (700Mb). When starting copying speed is 25-27Mb/sec, when finishing 5-8Mb/sec. All drives under NTFS.
    PS. Sorry for my bad english.

    That's correct  
    So if I do not misunderstand you, Windows hangs when accessing the drive?
    Is it only with this drive, then maybe it's an incompatibility between the controller and the ata electronics of the drive.
    Or maybe it's completely broken.. have you tried it on the ICH5 IDE controller?
    If it works there you should use this configuration.
    I've read about problem with some drives ... take a look into the threads on the top of this board (FAQ etc.).
    What I found out yesterday: You can use the Promise in RAID mode and define a RAID0 array with only one single drive. So you could use the Fasttrak driver from MSI, which is up to date.
    I haven't tried this solution (one disk in a RAID0 stripe configuration), but I think it should work...
    Maybe you give it a try  
    PS.: Before you switch to RAID mode, you have to change the Promise Driver... but be careful: windows won't boot with the wrong driver - your last chance would be "last known good" then...

  • Shopping For A RAID Controller

    I have seen the Areca brand name on here many times, so I assume they are the best for what we do. But, there are so many models that I have no idea what to look for. I probably won't ever have more than 4 or 6 storage drives plus an SSD system drive. Maybe a couple of external drives and an NAS.
    If I have Windows 7 64-bit
    i7-2600k processor
    ASUS P8P67 Pro motherboard
    32 GB RAM 1600
    GeForce GTX 580 Amp! from Zotac
    AX850 PSU from Corsair
    Every component is reasonably fast, bu I am sick of the senseless limitations of this mootherboard. My drives are aging so they need to be replaced.
    Which specs are important for video editing? Which brand and models are most popular and shoould I wait for some new release?
    Another thought - If a RAID controller is over $400 US, Is it more cost-effective to upgrade to a more capable motherboard/processor with all the ports I need?

    What to look for
    Brand
    Areca or LSI
    Ports
    8 or more
    Card
    PCIe-3.0 8x
    Cache
    512 MB or more
    Multi-lane
    SFF-8087/8088
    Examples
    Areca ARC-1882 series or LSI MegaRAID 9285
    Warning: You have to realize that on your motherboard adding a dedicated raid controller will entail that your video card will throttle down from PCIe-16x to PCIe-8x mode, resulting in a 10 - 15% performance penalty, due to limitations of the chipset. A dedicated raid controller, especially with around 6 disks always outperforms an on-board raid by a wide margin. To see some benchmark results, look here:  Reflections
    To see what meets your requirements, also consider the raid level you want to use. If raid3 or raid30, then LSI is out. You can check out what controllers are popular here: Detailed Results but you have to be registered and logged in to access the page.

  • How to find drivers for XSERVE-RAID module bought 2 years ago?

    Hello,
    2 years ago, we puchased a Xserve raid module. About 3 months later, they came up with the Primse Vtrack. Now we are looking to add drives to our old X-Serve-Raid module and we can't find anywhere to buy them. Any idea? it is currently loaded with Hitachi Deskstar 250GB Drives (from teh sticker on the drives)

    I believe they are still available at a massively overinflated price as Apple Service parts. Over here in the UK the only places I have found them is on eBay and on http://www.scrumpymacs.co.uk/ (Scrumpy Macs) - email them if you can't find them on the site. They sell drives with ATA drives, or just the bare caddies.
    I've recently had to increase storage on a budget so purchased 10 caddies, then 10x500 GB drives for them from a 3rd party supplier which are the same drive used in 'legit' drive modules.
    Hope that helps

  • What is the proper setup in BIOS when using promise raid controller

    I am using the k7n2g-islr board and using the on-board promise controller.  Everything has been working ok, but all of a sudden I get a "disk read error".  THe Promise Bios picks up both my drives (one is serial ATA, the other IDE), so I don't think the hardware has failed (completely anyway).  So, in the main BIOS it doesn't pick up any drives there with autodetect.  So...my question is twofold.  First, should the main BIOS be picking up a drive or not?  Second, what should the boot sequence be to boot of the promise controller (i.e. HDD-0 or SCSI?).
    THanks in advance.
    Dave
    k7n2g-islr
    160GB Serial ATA (Boot)
    120GB IDE (secondary)
    WinXP

    The main bios page will not show any sata/scsi drives.....only ide drives....as for booting the first boot option should be either sata, or scsi...if that is the drive the os is on.

    save apropriate drivers to the floppy disk provided. mark on the disk which version they are and when they were released.
    1st enable all sata devices in bios. Enable NV raid and sil raid in bios if nessisary.
    2nd set boot priority to dvd/cd.
    3 save and exit
    4 put in xp/xp64 bit install disk
    5 as it boots up the lower left hand screen will say "hit f6 for additional drivers" or something similar.  Hit f6
    6 press S to load drivers from the floppy.
    7 put correct disk in.
    8 Select the nessisary drivers.  For NVraid there are 2 drivers to load from the disk. I did it by loading (1) then (2)
    9 It will eventually reboot. when it does hit f10 to enter nvraids config. Set up your raid set up. exit out
    10 continue with xp/xp64 bit install.

  • I Need USB Controller Drivers For My HP Pavillion g6 2235ca Notebook Running Windows 7 Pro 64bit?

    So it has been at least a couple of months that I've been using my laptop with only ONE working USB port.
    The other two do NOT work. If I go to Computer on the Start menu, and right-click on Computer, then Manage, then i go to Device Manager, there is a yellow exclamation mark next to Universal Serial Bus (USB) Controller.
    When I try to update them, Windows 7 tells me that an update could not be found blah blah blah...
    This problem happened ever since I installed Windows 7 64bit over Windows 8 64bit.
    So, can someone help me find drivers for this USB Controller? Or is this some kind of hardware failure or issue?

  • Cannot download drivers for my network adapter - Gigabyte X58A-UD5 Motherboard

    Hey everyone, I recently got tired of my wireless connection for obvious reasons and decided to run an ethernet cable from my modem to my computer. I once I plugged in the ethernet cable nothing happened; I was confused and checked my network adapters
    and my Lan adapter isn't there, no problem I'll just go download the drivers for it. I downloaded DriverTuner from the gigabyte site, and ran it found I didn't have drivers for an "Ethernet Controller" or a "Standard Duel Channel PCI IDE Controller".
    So I download and attempt to install the drivers and get the error message "You have to run the 64-bit version of DPInst.exe on this machine - Contact vendor". (That's my problem and question - sorry for the story thought it might help.)
    I've tired all number of ways to fix this, including attempts at running DPSisnt.exe, which I have no idea how to run any help would be appreciated, and am I even on the right track? is there something simpler going on?
    Thanks :)

  • Satellite A500 - Remote Control Drivers for Windows 7

    Hi everyone,
    I've bought the Satellite A500, very happy with it, but I've completly change the os (vista) for the windows 7 RC, it works just very fine, the only thing is I can't find any drivers for the remote controller included with the laptop. It just doesn't work, no answer at all... I didn't found any driver for the A500 anyway, even for Vista...
    I just know that the remote works fine because I can use it on the media center of my Xbox 360 !! :p
    But from the laptop, no answer at all... I've looked for everywhere, tried to install the remote driver for others Toshiba Model, even the beta one for 7, but still the same problem...
    Your help is welcome, thank You for any answer.
    Coch, France.

    Hi
    > I didn't found any driver for the A500 anyway, even for Vista...
    It looks like the A500 is very new on the market and I believe the drivers (Vista) will be released in the next time
    You will have to wait a little bit
    I think that the Vista driver would be compatible with the Win 7.
    I have installed Win 7 on my notebook and most of the vista drivers are working.

  • Need drivers for Satellite M115-s3094

    Hi,
    I have a Satellite M115-s3094, I had problems with my OS which was Windows XP MCE but I could not fix it. So I got fed up and loaded in windows XP Professional, but a lot of my drivers have gone.
    The drivers I require are for Ethernet controller, network controller, PCI device, flash memory, SM bus controller, USB controller, video controller....plus I have no sound. It is an Intel centrino duo...as you can see I am missing a lot of drivers.
    Could anyone tell me how can I find out what kind of drivers I need and where do I get them from? Would Win XP SP2 installation help to install any of these drivers?
    Any help at all would be very much appreciated...
    Thanks to all..

    I have the same problem. I just need the drivers for the Ethernet controller and PCI device. I assume that the PCI device is the wireless card.
    I have tried all of the drivers on the Toshiba website, but none seem to work.
