Ms-7220 NVRAID and Silicon Image driver installation.

Anybody know how to install the nVidia RAID Controller Software and drivers after Windows is up and running, same with Silicon Image for RAID and Non-Raid Controller Functions.
The only installation instructions for NVRAID installation is during Windows installation as Boot Device.  Silicon Image installation instruction, errors out when you give it the directory of the Silicon Image drivers stating they are not for your hardware configuration, but the file are the current MSI download for 64 Bit Silicon Image drivers.
Have this problem on two Ms-7720's one is the one in my signature and the other is about the same configuration, but parts may be by different manufactures.
nVidia SATA ports all work with single drives, Silicon Image does not work with any drives or are any drives detected by BIOS on Silicon Image controller, and both systems are the same.

When submitting a problem, include a complete list of your system components; include part numbers, all Power Supply Voltages, and their output ratings.  It is almost impossible to estimate what your problem is without knowing something about it.

Uninstalled all nVidia On board device drivers and software, then reinstalled and all of the above problems are gone.
In addition, found out that if you disable all on board nVidia devices and use only the basic Northbridge and Southbridge functions the MS-7220 is one solid running system.  Standard IDE/SATA device controllers is stable, everything else I tried that is nVidia Chipset hardware or nVidia software driven, uninstall and/or disable.  PassMark's Burn-In program runs with out errors only when the nVidia Chipset Primary functions are used.  Does not seam to be any instability problem with on board devices connected through the Chipset, I have been able to find.
syar2003, the unknown devices program found no unknown device and through it and other DMI diagnostic programs found that DMI did not have this unknown device listed, so the problem was Windows registry bogus entry, which was cleared when I uninstalled all nVidia Chipset Software and drivers.  Thanks for the link, though looks like a useful tool to have.
Therefore, looks like the problem was a Windows registry entry, caused all the enabling, disabling, installing and reinstalling of devices and software to do all the testing I have be doing on the MS-7220.  The nVidia Raid Controller is really a dog in stability, performance, data corruption and ease of setup and use, but I do not think that will surprise anyone.

  • Hangs when installing amd and silicon image drivers

    last night installed multipoint server 2012 premium evaluation to a 32GB ssd.
    all went well.
    then attempted to install amd graphics drivers for hd4850/hd6310  and also drivers for silicon image 3114 pci sata card.
    both installers hang part way into installation despite multiple attempts and reboots.
    even leaving pc over night failed to resolve hanging.
    please advise of work around.
    mainboard is asus e35m1-m pro.
    objective is working fileserver/multiseat websurfer.
    thanks and please have a great day/week/life

    Are those devices supported by Windows 2012 or are you installing drivers for an older version of Windows? If those drivers are for older versions of Windows, that might cause the problem. Have you checked with the manufacturer of those devices for known
    issues?

  • HP LaserjetPro M277dw printer and windows vista driver installation issues

    I ust got the hot off the press HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP M277 which seems to be a miraculous machine.  Just one problem.  When trying to download and install the printer driver it goes through the whole process and then tells you the driver will not work with this operating system.  
    Hmmm.  It says on the HP website that this is the correct software for this machine.  I have been through at least 10 HP support people up to Level 3 support and hours of online work with HP people trying to install the software.  The word I get back is that it will not work with my machine.  So I am wondering if I have a Windows Vista 64 bit machine, and the software says it is for that machine, but it wont load, what machine will it work with?  The last person I worked with just told me I will need to get a new computer.  I thought I just bought a printer that would work with my computer, and now I am told i have to buy a new one?  
    Any ideas on how to get the software to load?  I have some functionality, such as wireless network printing that one technician was able to get to work, but no scanning.  Another technician changed all the permissions for installing various programming segments to "everyone" but that didnt work either.  He had it so messed up that the it would not print anymore wirelessly either.  I had to restore to an earlier date after that guy got off my computer so i could at least get some functionality back.  
    So, without the driver, I cannot scan to this computer, and i really dont know what other good things i am missing out on because I have never experienced the correct configuration......please help if you can.  I need to send the machine back within a certain time period, and I really do think it is the solution for my business, if I could get it to work......Thanks!
    PS Direct connection to computer and downloading software that way does't work either.....cannot use the printer directly connected.....

  • Disable Silicon Image SATA Driver

    I just installed a SATARAID5 Silicon Image driver for my RAID 0, and whenever I start up my pc, the SATARAID5 Array Manager Pops up. Is it ok to disable this from my startup menu so it doesn't pop up every time I start up my pc?

  • How to retrieve data from Silicon Image striped disks on NVRAID?

    Hello,
    I used to have MSI K8N Diamond motherboard and had to claim it. They returned to
    me MSI K8N SLI Platinum saying they couldn't get K8n Diamond anymore. However, K8N SLI Platinum doesn't have a Silicon Image 3132 RAID Controller I had used for my striped disks, so I'm trying to use NVRAID. NVRAID config says RAID status is OK (healthy),
    but I cannot see any data on the RAID disk in Windows XP (it says the disk is not formatted). Can anybody help me with this problem? If the two RAIDs (Silicon X NVRAID) use different formats for writing data onto disks, is there any utility I could use to retreive my unavailable data from the disks, that used to be in Silicon Image RIAD?
    Thank you very much for your time.

    This is the problem with 2 threads that don't get merged, someone needs to merge these. 
    https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=100574.0
    Since this seems to be the more popular of the 2 I will repost below what I said in the other thread.  Personally I would try the destriper before attempting what Hans suggest as it is destuctive(not saying it won't work just saying it will write metadata to the drives, and any writing at this point can have bad consequences). 
    Quote
    So the NVRAID see the 2 drives as a striped set?  This is suprising.  You could try to run a data recovery tool like getdataback and see if it sees anything on this new NVRAID array.  But other then that your only chance to recover without using the above suggestion(get access to another SiImage which is probably the easiest)
    is try a software destriper.  Here is an example: http://www.runtime.org/raid.htm
    The destripers are only as good as their authors write them, they have to know where for example where SiImage puts the metadata, it sounds like this software will try all combinations it knows(non-destructive),but can possibly recover data in your situation.  You may even have to use a data recovery tool after the destriping depending on where you are at now.
    Whatever you do, don't go configuring anything as any writing to the disk could make data hard if not impossible to get back.
    I think it's easier to get another controller but in theory a de-striper will do it.  Good luck I'm curious to see how things work out. 

  • Beta Silicon Image 3132 eSATA driver

    Has anyone tried the beta Sil 3132 eSATA driver on Snow Leopard yet?
    http://www.siliconimage.com/support/searchresults.aspx?pid=32&cat=3
    This has been the one thing holding me back from upgrading because I require use of an eSATA drive for my work. I'm not sure if I want to trust a beta driver with important data, so I'm looking for some first hand reports of the driver quality.
    Any info would be appreciated.

    I was having kernel panics whenever I tried to eject my Meritline (Silicon Image) Sil3132 dual port ExpressCard in OS X 10.5.11 "Leopard" which I tried a couple of different drivers but couldn't eliminate these CRASHES... Very disappointing.
    When I upgraded my OS to OS 10.6.2 "Snow Leopard" Apple's installer removed my Sil3132 drivers so I did some "recon" on Google and found the newly released "SiI 3132 Mac OS X 10.6 & 10.6.1 BASE (non-RAID) BETA" v1.1.11 driver here: http://www.siliconimage.com/docs/SiI31321.1.11u_Sil_PkgBETA.zip
    Installed it, restarted and EVERYTHING WORKS!!! The key to removing the ExpressCard is to follow these simple steps:
    1. Eject the hard drives connected via the ExpressCard from OS X
    2. Power Off card from the Sil3132 menu in the top menu bar
    3. Remove card
    What is REALLY cool is the VERY inexpensive (a.k.a. CHEAP) RAID 10 configuration I created using two SimpleTech Duo Pro Drive eSATA / USB enclosures I bought a while back off DealMac.com. Each of these enclosures has its own HARDWARE RAID controller that EACH enclosure connects TWO Western Digital drives internally in either a RAID 0 ("stripe" for SPEED) or RAID 1 ("mirror" for REDUNDANCY) configuration. I set them up for RAID 0 for speed then created a RAID 1 ("mirror") of these two RAID 0 enclosures for a LIGHTENING quick 4-drive RAID 0+1... Advantages of both RAID 0 & 1, faster than RAID 5 and for me CHEAP since I already had 3 identical WD drives lying around from Mac Pro "pulls" and got a brand new 4th drove from CraigsList for $40!
    I "tested" it by writing my 24Gb Parallels 5.0 "WinXP Pro SP3.pvm" file and it worked perfectly. Now I'll use this RAID for a FAST SuperDuper or Time Machine backups... HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

    im able to enable dma/set Xfer mode/IO/ only in the pata drive, not in the sata drive..in kernel config ive enabled "scsi low-level->sata support->silicon image sata support" and also enabled "silicon image chipset support under ATA/ATAPI/MFM/RLL support"
    im right now using sata as root and the drive is stable..just need dma..thanks in advance

    According to Jeff Garzik's sata pages the drivers for the Sil 311x chipsets have beta status.
    I had worse luck with my no-name PCI Sil-SATA controllers: as soon as I connected a hard disk the kernel would not boot anymore when using libata drivers. I can only use the allegedly deprecated IDE drivers,  these work fine for me.
    The libata drivers should set the proper DMA modes automatically, but things are slightly different with SATA. Anyways, 20MB/s is proof enough that some sort of DMA is actually there. Performance would be much worse without any DMA at all.
    If you really want to use the libata driver you should try a 2.6.12rc kernel, libata has seen quite a many updates since 2.6.11
    Cheers,

  • LV Driver - Installation - LV32 bit and LV 64- bit

    Hi,
    I am making build spec for LV driver, I did the following experiment,
    Experiment,
    Create a installer on LV2014 32 bit
      2. Path for source destination:
          C:\Program Files(x86)\National Instruments\LabVIEW 2014\instr.lib
    Now, I install this driver on another system having LV2014(64 bit) and now it takes path
             C:\Program Files(x86)\National Instruments\LabVIEW 2014\instr.lib and install my driver into it.
    it creates a specifed path and put drivers there, it dont care that LV32 bit is not present on system.
    Result
    My drivers are not present in function palate Instrument I/O section but if I copy this to
    C:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW 2014\instr.lib, It works fine.
    Experement 2: if I change the proper path for 64 bit during installtion(so called at step 3 if Exoeriement 1) following is the result
    My questions are,
    How can make driver installer user friendly for both 32 and 64 bit LV user?
    Is there any solution that installer will take path automatically with respect to LV 32bit or LV 64 bit (whichever is present)?
    Is it mandatory to appear driver in Instrument IO function palate, it must be present in instr folder ? What if I want to choose any other folder to install this this driver and still want to make appear my drivers in Instrument I/O Function palette ??
    Thank you.

    Hi
    thank you all for answers
    @Dennis : Agee with with you to use a regular solution for distrubuting drivers.
    @natasftw: just tired and enconter this when I was installing this on LV - 64bit system

  • My Mac Book Pro has just had a new memory and solid state drive installed. After the installation, the Lightroom tools all became grey. There is no longer any color on the screen other than my picture. Even the color sliders are grey.  Can you please help

    My MacBook Pro just had a new memory and solid state drive installed. Since the installation, the Lightroom tools are now all grey. Even the color sliders are grey. Please help!

    My guess is that your operating system got updated to Mavericks and that you are running an old version of Lightroom:
    Sliders are white, look different | Mac OS X 10.9 Mavericks
    Be aware of a Lightroom bug with color management in mavericks that makes shadows too deep in the Develop module: Jao's photo blog: Serious color management bug in Mac OS 10.9 "Mavericks" and Jao's photo blog: Further quantification of the Mavericks color management problem.

  • Backup and Restore image fails 3TB Advanced Format Drive Windows 7-32 SP1

    Windows native backp fails to create an System Image, or a Complete PC Backup.
    This occurs in Windows 7, 64 bit Professional, Windows 7, 32bit Ultimate, Windows Vista Business, 32 bit. It occurs in 6 different computers I've tried. All the backup drives are 3TB. I have tried Seagte USB and Hitachi USB drives. 4 of them. The Windows
    7 Ultimate, 32bit machine has SP1. All operating systems are using the current Service Packs, and all of the MS Updates including all of the recommended harware drivers. All of the systems are using the latest BIOS, firmware and OEM drivers as well.
    It looks like the issue may be causes by a deficiency in Windows related to the Advanced Format drive spec. All of the computers that qualified had the AF hotfix applied; Advanced Format Drives 512e 4k, Vista
    and 2008 - KB2470478, Windows 7, and 2008 R2 KB982018
    Error messages follow:
    The Backup Failed.
    Error message: One of the backup files could not be created. (0x8078002A)
    The request could not be perfomed because of an I/O error. (0x8007045D)
    This deficiency seems to apply across the board to different hardware manufacturers of external hard drives.
    From what I have heard, Western Digital may have a format utility that addresses this issue, but only for WD drives.
    Help.

    Hi David,
    Did you have found any error message？
    Check if all the files have been created on the hard drive.
    Check the Volume shadow copy service in services window. To check follow these steps:
    i.                   
    Click Start and type services.msc in the search box
    ii.                 
    Search for the Volume shadow copy service
    Make sure the start- up type is automatic.  Steps to set the services to automatic
    i.                   
    Search for the service
    ii.                 
    Right click on the service
    iii.               
    If the service is stopped then Start the service
    iv.                
    Select Properties
    v.                  
    And in the Start-up type select Automatic
     This is the most definitive answer I can find so am taking this as the answer.

  • How can I get the Microsoft enhanced Point and Print compatibility driver installed on Win7 LC master?

    We recently migrated from a Windows Server 2003 to Windows Server 2012 print server. When recomposing a linked clone pool with the old 2003 server, drivers were taken care of for the printer when the user printed for the first time after desktop recompose. With 2012, any printer using the Point and Print driver doesn't seem to obtain the driver again from the 2012 server. All of our clients are running Windows 7 which means the Microsoft enhanced Point and Print compatibility driver is not installed in the OS natively.
    I apparently need to figure out a way to get this installed on the host image so it trickles down to snapshots when recomposing the linked clone pool but I haven't been able to dig much information on doing this. Does anyone out there have any insight on how to accomplish this? If I recompose a pool now for a user who is using a new Point and Print driver, they get the following message that is resolved by removing the printer from their account and re-adding it:
    "The 'Microsoft enhanced Point and Print compatibility driver' printer driver is not installed on this computer. Some printer properties will not be accessible unless you install the printer driver. Do you want to install the driver now?"
    I figured the easy solution would be to just install a printer using the Point and Print driver and then remove it...leaving the driver behind (unless it cleaned up after itself). The problem with this is in my testing, even after removing and re-adding a printer that set off installation of this Point and Print driver on the client, any other printer that was using it still required the remove/re-add process in order to work, else I got the same message. That tells me that the driver may be custom for each printer installed?
    Color me a little confused. I do NOT like the way that Server 2012 handles printers. I've come across a few other issues as well (such as duplex capabilities not being remember on the print server for a printer) that I never had with the 2003 server.
    Thanks!!

    I was able to get it to work using your instructions off of here and your other thread
    Thank you!

  • Recovery and Disk Image

    For those of you who have spent hours reinstalling the many programs that you have after a crash of you system, I would suggest buying an external drive that has disk imaging software.  Windows 7 comes with this feature. I was fortune enough to have done so and after encountering suspicious activity/possible virus, I loaded the disk image and restored my system with ease.
    These programs regularly backup data and disk images based on your scheduling.
    I have the Maxtor Onetouch 4 Mini. There are many available and at prices suitable for your needs.

    Did you buy your machine second-hand? That's really the only way you would have to purchase OS X 10.8.x from the App Store... but, yes, if you have a USB thumb drive with a bootable installer (such as made with Lion DiskMaker) you can boot from that and reinstall OS X.

  • Internal and External Optical drives troubles

    Right, I have a Mid 2007 model Mac Mini (Hardware UUID: 00000000-0000-1000-8000-0016CBAFC309) with 1Gb of RAM, a 120Gb hard drive, and an PIONEER DVD-RW DVR-K06 as the Apple shipping internal drive, and that originally shipped with Mac OS X 10.5.x, but now running Mac OS X 10.6.2.
    Yesterday — after the installation of the recent 2010 001 security update — when I tried to burn a copy of the Ubuntu Studio disc image fora friend of mine, that the Mini point blank refused to cooperate.
    And gave the following message when I’ve tried to burn various files to DVD with both the usual contextual menu “Burn to Disc” option, or with Disc Utility, OR with the open source software burner, Burn.
    “The disc can’t be burned because because communication between the computer and the disc drive failed (error code 0x80020022).”
    This occurs whether I use either the interior or external optical drive, whether I have the exterior hard drives I use for storage plugged in or not, and both before or after a permissions repair.
    How do I get around this?
    I’d like to keep burning my home movies to DVD: it did work fine, up until that update!
    What is going on?

    I don’t know if any one from Apple is reading this, but I thought I’s put this up, on my blog …
