K9N Neo-F v.3: what RAID drivers for the floppy?

I downloaded the drivers that are suppose to be for the floppy install during the windows XP setup (using f6).  I found these by using the MSI website and searching for drivers for my motherboard model.  It specifically says they are raid drivers for floppy disk.  After unzipping this file, it creates a main folder called WinXP.  There are two subfolders inside that called "sata_ide" and "sataraid".
now, from my experience windows has to see these drivers on the root of A:\ during installation.  Righ off the bat, I can tell this zip file is improperly formated to be used with a floppy for windows XP installation.  The files within the two subfolders are named the same, so you cant just place all of these drivers on the root drive without overwriting them.
So, I made 3 floppies.  On one floppy I followed the directions given on the site where I downloaded the zip file:  Unzip the file and copy all files to the floppy.  This meant sub folders and all.  I created another floppy with ONLY the sataraid drivers directly in the root of A:.  I created a third with only the sata_ide drivers directly on the root of A:
I created my striped array using 2 WD SATA II drives.  Status is healthy.  Upon installing windows, I hit f6 and inserted my floppy when prompted.  None of the floppies I created worked.  I even went the extra step and formatted and created partitions on each drive.  Still no dice.
I need to know EXACTLY how to create the driver disk for this motherboard.  Links to the drivers or any extra information is greatly appreciated.  Anyone with experience in this realm on this particular motherboard, Id like to hear from you. 
Oddly enough, I was able to build a RAID/0 config using an LSI PCI Raid controller and two Ultra 320 SCSI Seagate Cheetahs.  Something I was told prior to that this motherboard would not be able to do.  Now here I am struggling using drivers given to me directly from MSI with HDD's the motherboard completely supports

  • Raid drivers but no floppy

    I have a new TD100x and it doesn't come with a floppy drive. I need to install raid drivers.
    Anyone have any tips before I start yanking fans out of the box to uncover a hiding IDE connector, if there is one.  The CD drive is hooked to something but it must be buried. The cable does have a secondary connector on it. I suppose I could try that.

    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    jordon - no worries.   asking questions is the best way to learn.
    slipstreaming software inserts the drivers at the same point windows does the F6 prompt for third-party drivers.   the difference is that the software flips a switch in windows telling it to do an automated install, therefore loading drivers from a repository.   it's essentially the same process vendors like lenovo use to build installation recovery media.
    the software allows you to include drivers, automate settings, and pre-write the license key to create a completely hands-off installation.   in doing so, it has become the best trick available to include AHCI or RAID drivers in the older OSes.

    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've used sil in the past and it was nearly identicle. Have fun

  • What about the vista drivers for the audigy seri

    now that the xifi vista drivers are out, when can we expect the (non-beta) vista drivers for the audigy series?

    Actually, you can use the X-Fi-Drivers for the A2ZS. Simply unpack the install-file (e.g. with WinRAR) and run the setup.exe in the "Drivers"-folder. The Audio-Console will be installed too, you'll find it in your "windows/system32"-folder by the name "CtPanel.exe". I use the x64-bit version of Windows Vista, so the AudioConsole for this version couldn't see the installed Audigy-driver for some reason. After I've copied the CtPanel.exe from "yourunpackedinstallfolder/Drivers/wdm/common/i386" to the System32-folder, the Console worked as it should.Because the Console has not the best variety of the options, I've also tried to install the creative-programms from my CD. I could install the "Speaker-Settings"-tool, and it works fine. But the Surround-Mixer seems not to work under Vista, mooving the sliders has no affects on the real volume. I hope, Creative will release the good-working Software-Suite for Windows Vista, I really don't want to argue with the Audio-Console.Message Edited by theLost on 03-08-2007:28 AM

  • Windows Update installed the drivers for the wrong sound card?

    I need serious help with this one.
    It all started October 31st when I find that Windows Update lists an update for my sound card - a Sound Blaster Li've! 24bit internal card. I install it, reboot, and realize that my sound is not coming through the speakers (Note, sound was working before I installed this update. I'm not even sure if the sound card is processing to it). I realized that Windows Update seemed to have installed the drivers for the wrong sound card. It installed drivers for "SB Audigy" (it was originally SB Li've!), why they chose to be so generic - I don't know. I later find out that not even Creative's website has this updated driver, but apparently, only Windows Update is issuing this out.
    But wait, it gets even more frustrating.
    So I don't have System Restore enabled (big resource hog), and I need to go back to the older drivers. I originally do a driver rollback using the Device Manager, which made the drivers go back to what they were before - but still wasn't outputting sound. I think even though the older drivers were being used by Windows, the software that Creative issued wasn't picking up this fact and thought I still using the newer ones for Audigy. So I decided to uninstall everything and start with an actual driver installation executable from Creative's website (SB24_PCDRV_LB__04_0090.exe). What I found out was that if new drivers are detected, I can't actually install over them.
    However, if I uninstall the drivers using the Device Manager, it'll automatically install everything - the control panel, the preferences, drivers, etc for the new "SB Audigy" drivers that were issued Oct 3st once I scan for hardware changes. The reason I need to scan for hardware changes is because if I uninstall the drivers from the Device Manager, it'll remove the instance of "SB Audigy" from the list. This causes problems for the installer for the older drivers (SB24_PCDRV_LB__04_0090.exe) because now it thinks there isn't any hardware to install the drivers for (all because I haven't made the Device Manager actually discover my actual sound card, yet unless I press "Scan for Hardware changes" which as a result, will install the newer drivers from Oct 3st automatically. I hope this makes sense so far).
    So now I can't uninstall the newer incorrect drivers so I can install the older ones for the actual sound card. Normally I heard that you can change something in the new driver's installation executable to properly uninstall everything. Only problem is, Windows Update doesn't exactly tell you where it's downloading the driver/hardware installation files. I know in the Software Distribution you can find Windows Update stuff downloading there - but I couldn't find the SB Audigy driver update it keeps installing while "scanning for hardware changes" in the Device Manager.
    This was incredibly hard to put into detail, so I hope that it makes a little bit of sense. If you need clarification on anything please let me know and I'll do anything to help eliminate the problem. Just remember I have:
    Windows 7 x64
    Sound Blaster Li've! 24bit
    I think the only problem I'd like to solve is - how could I install older drivers if Windows keeps installing the newer ones even after I uninstall them? Because right now, I can't do much unless I know how to get rid of the installation files for the Oct 3st update so it won't have anything to use. Another way to rephrase the question is, how could I get the Device Manager in Windows to display my soundcard as "Multimedia Audio Controller" for as long as I need so I can run SB24_PCDRV_LB__04_0090.exe which will then detect that there is a sound card that can use the drivers and install them properly?
    Thanks for your help guys, I hope we can solve this. Because I've done everything I could. Hopefully I don't need to reinstall the operating system just so I can have sound working.

    Click on Start> ALL Programs > Creative > Creative Audio Console.
    Make sure speakers are set to 5. if that's what you're using. I like to Synchronize with Windows Control Panel. Turn EAX to No effects, and/or turn effects to 0%. On the CMSS 3D Tab, turn the Mode to OFF.

  • Anyone have an updated link to the unspported drivers for the X-Fi series?

    JAnyone have an updated link to the unspported drivers for the X-Fi series?dI honestly cannot believe what I'm reading about all the people having problems in Windows 7. Having just upgraded to it and being a loyal CL customer since I've been building PCs, decided to upgrade my Audigy 2 and bought an X-Fi Gamer only to be rewarded with the inability to install the drivers, and I find out I'm not the only one and it actually seems...very common...what? Are you even serious Creative? All these posts about people not being able to use your cards with Windows 7 and you don't do a thing? Anyway, if someone has a mirror for the supposedly working unsupported drivers that would be great, every mirror I've found is outdated. If someone has them and they work, great, but I'm seriously never buying one of your products again if this is how you do customer service. If not, newegg's return policy is great, Asus here I come, sooner or later

    Nsame here broo i won't buy ever product from creative company. I realy tought it's best music card ever ( and expensi've for normal beaing ) but they are just funny with their customer support. anyway just pm me with mail adres ill sent you unsuported drivers, or you can download them from my site (but pm me first i need to make that they won't charge you for downloading it )

  • Downloaded drivers for the MS6570 do not WORK - HELP!

    Hello,
    I have a fresh install of Windows XP on the MS6570. I've also downloaded the drivers for the mother board from: http://www.msi.com.tw/program/support/dr...pt_dvr_list.php  
    and from:
    http://ftp://download.nvidia.com/Windows/nForce/5.10/nForce_5.10_WinXP2K_WHQL_english.exe
    Unfortunitly, everytime I run the setup program from the downloads, it begin the install process but than immediatly turns off the install, never beginning and finishing the install process. No error messages or anything. I've also just installed SP1 for Win XP from a CD I have thinking this may needed to be installed first, but still had no luck. I truely am thinking the driver downloads for the ms6570 are bad.
    Does anyone know of a way that MSI can put working drivers for the ms6570 so they can be downloaded or does anyone know of another site or can provid an FTP to working drivers?? I'm extremely desperate.
    I appreciate any info.

    I appreciate everyone's reply....
    Here is what I have done.
    I have installed a NIC on my PC, because my on board ethernet will not detect under Windows. I've also went and downloaded SP2 from Microsoft and installed that with all other critical updates. I downloaded the latest version of direct x 9.0c, and the the ms6570 diver's setup to run under win 2000.
    Still the results are the same as described above. The driver software downloaded will not run the complete install process. I've than tried to get Windows to detect and update any hardware drives that it can find from the internet and the only driver it found was for the sound card which now works.
    I appear to be with the same problem as originally described, and still feel that the drivers may be corrupted that are offered for download. Again.. I'd be happy to pay for a copy if anyone would be willing to burn me an original driver CD. I know the original driver CD does work as this is what I loaded the drivers for my motherboard in the past with.
    Thanks for any help again.

    It seems Lumia 620 doesn't benefit the "double tap to wake", other than that all announced apps and features will be available. I advise to check also some great beta apps from Nokia Beta Labs, kudos to the guys developing these.

    Read the Boot Camp Instructions, you have to download the drivers using Boot Camp Assistant

    Thanks a lot.
    Sincerely,

    There's been an update for OSX ML which addresses the issue for installing Windows 8 on bootcamp.
    It's NOT recommended that you Upgrade.. However, the way to get the drivers is:
    You'll need an external USB drive formatted as FAT for this.
    1) In OSX, start the Bootcamp Assistant
    2) Press Next
    3) UNTICK 'Remove WIndows 7 or Later Version'
    4) TICK Download the Latest Windows Support Software from Apple
    5) Insert USB drive
    6) Press CONTINUE
    The drivers should download, and copy a WIndowsSupport folder onto the USB drive.
    I did notice that Windows 8 still requires beta drivers for some aspects such as VGA (the Radio HD Card), which you can get on the AMD website.
    Futhermore, why are you using Windows 8 "32" bit when you blatently have a powerful 64bit?
    Anyway, hope this post helps ;-)

  • How can i get windows drivers for the 2013 MacBook Pro Retina?

    Hi there,
    today I have installed on my late 2013 MBP retina via the Boot Camp Windows 8.1. The installation was smoothly but some drivers are not present including the wifi driver.
    Through online research, I found out that in the current version of Boot Camp no drivers for the 2013 model are listed. Do you have one probably have an idea how to get it to run anyway?

    For feedback from experienced users,  post in the Final Cut Pro X forum here.
    They should be able to offer suggestions for training.

  • Drivers for the sunfire v20z network card.

    does any one know were i could find the drivers for the sunfire v20z network card. and does anyone know the chipset of the card?

    That's a software question.
    This is a hardware forum.
    You didn't specify, but I'll presume you are not talking about any add-on card.
    The necessary software packages for the onboard
    broadcom BCM5703 gigabit (bge) circuitry are native to Solaris x86 (4/04 and newer).
    Therefore they'll be on your OS installation CD's.
    Just install the OS and rock-n-roll.
