Question about Raid Driver Update V1.3.8.0

Hi.
Can anyone tell me whats the deal or what are the advantages of doing an update to the RAID driver Toshiba Windows XP MCE 1.3.8.0 ?
Also had another problem..i tried to install the refered driver and it made an error..my raid version is still the one i had prior and couldnt install this version.
Any help would be cool.
thanks

As far as I know the RAID driver need to be installed at the begging of the OS installation.
Unfortunately there are no any official documents about the corrections and advantages of any updates.
But I believe the newer driver could be compatible with more motherboards and controller.

  • Satellite A100-599 - question about display driver update

    Hi,
    I have a Satellite A100-599 with a NVIDIA 7600go graphic card and I have Bioshock like most of you the game crashes because of some problems with the graphic card drivers, no pb...in the meantime NVIDIA released some new patches to the Forceware and after I rechecked the Toshiba driver support database I saw a new release in the Display driver list for WinXp.
    One of them seems to be from 13/09/2007. I downloaded the drivers, installed them and after I checked the driver details in the Device manager list and to my surprise the details said the drivers are from 2006. I reinstalled the drivers and the same thing appeared. I checked the XML that was in the drivers archive and surprise ...the drivers are really the old ones from 2006. So my question is this: Do you have any Display Drivers for my model that work for Bioshock :D
    Regards,Marian

    I dont know if WE have. I think it would be took some long time to ask every single user: hey, do you have some drivers for blackmodjo? Ah, come on, please. Just a little bit of them... ;)
    No, I have a better idea. Its like cooking a meal. The ingredients: DriverCleaner Pro and the website www.laptopvideo2go.com and .... ta ta ta TAAAA a lot of patience
    To get some good "bio"shocked meal just follow this receipt:
    Go to
    http://www.laptopvideo2go.com/
    read before you do anything (YES, even before you continue BREATHING) the FAQ-section on that site (RECOMMENDEDRECOMMENDEDRECOMMENDED)
    and then download the drivers. Do it, yes...
    Then download drivercleaner by searching for it on www.google.com and THEN, read their Manual before doing anything else (Ok, you can continue breathing..)
    After reading their manual you will something like:
    1. Starting program, doing something, restarting machine
    2. starting in safe mode, starting that program, removing..yadayadayada
    3. Installing new driver
    3. Playing Bioshock
    4...
    5..no..6. Thanking me and giving me your first born.. ;)
    So, by cutting away around 40% of my humoristic stuff and following the constructive technical instructions from me you will be able to play bioshock.
    Greets :)

  • ####a question about jdbc driver

    A question about jdbc driver: for Oracle JDBC drivers which will not allow O/R
    tools to access columns over 4 kb. This affects some of the functionality of my
    application.A workaround is to use the my JDBC driver that acts as a wrapper to
    ensure that columns over 4 kb read and persist properly. my JDBC driver determines
    which actual driver to load based on the connection URL. If you pass in a URL
    that contains the string jdbc:oracle:thin, it will know to load oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver.
    If the URL contains the string jdbc:db2, it will know to load COM.ibm.db2.jdbc.net.DB2Driver,
    and so on.
    now i have set CLASSPATH for my jdbc wapper,when I Creating and Configuring a
    JDBC Connection Pool,i have to input my driver name such com.lawrence.driver.....then
    i did,all
    is well,then i restart my WLS,when load config.xml,some errors such as "No registered
    driver accept URL:jdbc:oracle:thin:@localhost:1521:lawrence",if i set driver name
    is oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver,all is good,no any errors.
    I find some questions like:
    1.for WLS8.1 ,it is only find some registed driver?
    2.why it cannot load my driver wapper when it is loading jdbc Connection Pool,but

  • Very basic questions about hard drives

    I'm upgrading from vintage Beige G3, so much of the jargon about internal drives is new to me.
    My MacPro will come with an OEM 160 GB drive. I will use this for my primary boot drive -- OS and Apps. All my data, photo files etc. will be kept on my second/third drives. I do not plan any sort of RAID setup. Windows is going nowhere near my Mac.
    For the extra drives --
    1) SATA? SATA II? What's the difference and is it critical?
    1a) What is a "raptor" drive?
    2) Does size matter (we're talking about GBs here, guys...)
    3) Reliability is more important to me than speed or noise. We're a long long way from any technical help or even UPS.
    4) Do new drives need to be formatted before using them internally?
    5) If I partition one of the extra drives so I can keep a clean, backup OS boot partition, I need to format it as GUID, correct? Or does that just apply to external firewire boot drives? Does it matter which partition will be the boot partition?
    6) I've read discussions about firmware requirements for some drives. What's that all about?
    I was leaning toward MaxLine Pro 500 GB drives, but have been reading (reading too much, perhaps?) and now have all the above questions/concerns. (Whatever happened to the good ol' days of "buy an IDE drive, insert, play"?)
    Thanks for your patience with these questions. I need to get it right the first time because of our remoteness!

    1. SATA 1 interface speed rated at 1.5 Gb/s; SATA II interface speed rated at 3.0 Gb/s.
    2. Drive ratings/performance is determined by many factors. You can best find out about individual drive performance by visiting http://www.storagereview.com/ to see their benchmark results on various drives. You will also find some helpful comparisons at http://www.barefeats.com/.
    3. As for drive specs see previous answer. Generally speaking within any manufacturer's category of drive models for a given size the fastest drive will be the most expensive. Manufacturer specs usually do not provide any idea about drive performance in real world situations. Only benchmark comparisons are really useful, and even those can be confusing.
    4. Yes, you can boot an Intel Mac from an APM partitioned drive. You simply cannot install OS X from the installer disc because it will refuse to install on a drive that has not been GUID partitioned.
    5. Some older Seagate 750 GB models were not working properly when installed in a RAID configuration on Mac Pro computers. Seagate provided a firmware update to fix the problem for those who already owned the affected drives.
    I don't know where you got the idea that Intel Macs were "picky about such things." Nor that installing drives in a beige G3 was a no-brainer. The old beige G3 required a lot of mechanical effort to mount a new drive internally. You not only had to connect all the various cables, but if you had two drives on the same ribbon cable each drive had to be jumpered properly - one as MASTER and one as SLAVE. Some older ATA hard drives had two different jumper settings for a MASTER - MASTER solo and MASTER w/SLAVE. Some beige G3 models wouldn't even boot OS X unless it was installed on a MASTER drive. And, you could not install OS X on a large drive except by partitioning the drive with an 8 GB partition for OS X that had to be the first partition on the drive. RAIDs may work or not depending on if you ran OS 9 or OS X. At least to me that wasn't the "good old days" unless you were comparing installing ATA drives to dealing with SCSI. I would say that in your particular case you were lucky, and you never tried putting two drives on the same ribbon cable. Oh, and I forgot about the size limiting jumper on most ATA large drives to limit capacity to 32 GBs because that's all that was supported by FAT32. Oh, yes, and the beige G3's disk controller did not support drives larger than 128 GBs.

  • Question about Raid set up with (SB600) K9A2 Platinum V 1.0

    I am having trouble setting up my raid.  I am using Windows XP Pro and go through the usual set up procedures using F6 command then installing the drivers etc.  Once I get everything up and running installed on Raid 0 the computer works very well for a few days.  Then later BSOD.  The first was a 0000007b stop error, then I got the system back up again only to have it a few days then another BSOD 00000024 stop error.  This time I was not able to bring it back.  I thought my problem was linked to a RAM issue as I was using OCZ PC2 6400 DDR2 OCZ2G8008GQ (2X2GB).  The reason I thought this was when I went to the motherboard site for approved ram, this ram was not there, then on OCZ site it was also not tested, then I went to newegg and used thier motherboard ram compatability screener and it did not show up either.  So I bought the Giel ram and am now trying to set it back up again though I could not get it back still.  So I finally just reformatted the drives (using another computer and a hard drive enclosure)and am getting ready to reinstall everything.  I want to make sure I am using the right SB600 drivers for my application.  I should be selecting AHCI X86 or x64.  This does pertain to the operating system (I am using Win XP 32 Bit) or the processor (I am using the Kuma Athlon X2 7750 2.7Ghz)
    I believe I should be selecting the x86 drivers when installing windows.  Am I right?  I just want to make sure I do not screw anything up so as to bring on the horrible BSODs again.  I realize this could be some driver issue as well that could have caused this.  I did everything I could to make sure it was not the hard drives.
    The last question I have is:  In order to ensure proper operation of the dual channel ram, (I have read the book, still confused a bit), I must install the ram with one stick in the first slot nearest the CPU and the other in the first slot of the opposite color?  In this case Green/Orange slots.
    Mainboard: MSI K9A2 Platinum 790FX
    CPU: Athlon X2 Kuma 7750 AM2+ 2.7Ghz Processor
    CPU-Cooler: Factory Supplied
    RAM: 4GB (2X2GB) G Skill F2-8500CL5D-4GBPI DDR2-1066 Dual Channel
    GPU: AMD790FX
    VIDEO: PowerColor HD4830 512MB GDDR3
    HDD: 2 Velociraptor 150 10000 rpm drives WD1500HLFS
    DVD: ASUS DRW-22B1LT SATA Drive
    Floppy: YES
    Power Supply: CORSAIR CMPSU-650TX 650W ATX12V / EPS12V SLI Ready CrossFire Ready
    OS: Windows XP Pro SP1 (Updated to SP3)

    I was just trying to obtain the fastest load times/install times.  When the machine was first running it was very quick with no cpu temps running beyond 34C, no abnormal performance.  This is my wifes computer though.  Things began to go astray after she updated through windows update to SP3.  I am now using a slipstreamed CD with SP3 already on it.  She said she was clicking on the internet explorer "E" icon and it just shut off.  THen when it rebooted (it was still set that way in windows recovery) it started loading windows then BSOD 0000007b error.  I fixed it by finally getting into windows recovery and running fixboot, then fixmbr, then chkdsk /r /f.  It started working fine again.  Then later maybe two days later it happend again this time wihtout the restarting.  She was working on something else this time and it shutdown again.  This time when it tried ot reload windows I was getting the ntfs.sys issue with a 00000024 stop error.  I could not do the same magic with windows recovery any longer.  When I tried it indicated it repaired the boot, the mbr, but when I tried to run the chkdsk, it gave me disk read errors, such as "this disk has unrecoverable errors".  I used Western Digital test programs on the drives by removing them and installing them into an enclosure and taking them to a good computer.  One drive I could see in windows and it reflected 140G/B, the other would pick up but not in my computer.  It also showed the drive as having the entire quantity as the RAID together had of 298G/B versus the real size of the drive 150G/B.  I just figured that was the drive that was set up as LD 1 in the RAID setup (prior to windows) and possible was the drive with he boot sector on it???  I could get another drive and include it into the array, but then just figure I will have to worry about 3 drives versus 2.  She keeps improtant backup stuff on an external drive.  I will tone down the ram to 800.  Should I set the latency in Bios though to the 5-5-5-15?  or just leave everything at auto like I hade done before?  Though this ram is new and was not in the computer when this happened.  I had replaced the other OCZ Gold stuff and put in the G Skill stuff I have now.  I had previously stated Giel, but it is G Skill, sorry about that.  I may just do what you say, guess sleep on it and decide whether to just install the drives with OS/Programs on one and data on the other. 

  • Raid Driver Update..

    MSI released a new Raid Driver for my 990FXA-GD80, the older ver. is from 2009.. if I'm remembering correctly.
    Can I update the driver version without a restore? Possibly using 'Repair'?
    Thanks

    xmad..
    I'm running perfectly.. but, seeing an update (none for years).. I am curious if there is a benefit, or what the update features are. The older Raid driver installed now, was released before the surge of SSD use. So, like a Bios update.. should I, shouldn't I is the question? 
    Thanks,
    Have a great New Years

  • Question about hard drives older xraid

    We have an "older" XRaid stocked with 14 250 GB drives, connected to an xserve with fiber channel. Our premium Applecare agreement for the XRaid expired a few months ago. Prior to that, when a drive would fail, I would simply get a replacement from Apple, but I always kept a good spare drive in a drive module so that I could swap it in while waiting for the new module. I expect some drives to start failing as they get older, and buying drives in Apple drive modules is very expensive (over $600 for a 250 GB drive, if you can even find them). So my plan is to just buy bare drives and pop them into the existing drive modules when needed. My questions are:
    Are these drives ATA's or SATA's?
    What is the maximum drive size that each drive can be? Can I pull out all 7 drives on one side or the other and replace them with, say, 500 GB drives? (obviously I would have to re-init the array). Any help would be appreciated.

    >Are these drives ATA's or SATA's?
    The XServe RAID uses ATA 133 drives.
    > What is the maximum drive size that each drive can be?
    That depends on the firmware version. If you haven't updated the firmware since you got the machine, then 250GB is as big as you can go. If up update the firmware you can use 750GB drives (the largest drive currently available in the XServe RAID).
    > I pull out all 7 drives on one side or the other and replace them with, say, 500 GB drives?
    If you're not worried about warranty/support or the integrity of your data, sure. Lots of people have reported success doing this. Just be careful regarding the drives you get. Do NOT jump on the cheapest, nastiest drive you can find - there's a reason why that 750GB drive costs $99. All drives are NOT the same. You need to make sure you get server-rated drives. Most consumer/home drives are rated for something like 50,000 hours MBTF at 20% utilization (your home machine isn't always on, and is often idle even when it is on). By comparison, server drives have a much higher MTBF at a higher utilization (as much as 500,000 hours at 80% utilization).
    If you don't care about drive failures then you can use the cheaper drives, just be prepared to deal with the failures.
    Also, make sure you get identical make/model drives for al disks in the array. Mismatching drives in an array is going to cause a huge performance hit since the drives are not in sync.

  • Question about Raptor drives

    I have a Mac Pro, obviously, and am considering using a Raptor drive for my boot drive.
    I am new to Raptor drives, so can someone explain a few of my questions so I can determine if it is worth my money and time?
    Basically, I am a photographer, shooting RAW, using Aperture and CS3. That is my main use of rthe computer. The files I shoot are from the Canon 1Ds Mark III and are huge (21 megapixel each).
    If I use a Raptor drive as my boot drive with my OS and apps on it, how will this affect my red write speed on my other 3 internal drives (which are all Seagate 1 terabytes).
    I also have an external RAID system for my ever growing library from Aperture as well. I shoot about 3 terabytes of images per year.
    Is a raptor drive going to help me? Or because I won't sroe much on the main boot drive, is this silly?
    Please, when explaining, or asking me for more information, try not to use TOO much tech speak. I know very little about this stuff.
    I am learning ...

    Then let me caution you against getting sucked into the speed-demon vortex. The minute you say Raptor, you immediately attract users who typically pay closer attention to their stop-watches than they do their retouching skills. Most don't even use Photoshop, which is why I recommend every photographer consult with MacGurus.com. The owners are photographers.
    My new MacPro is FAST, especially when compared to my G4 MDD. Would I notice the millisecond differences if I had a Raptor for boot? No. I don't own a stop-watch. I sold my Raptor on eBay.
    For photographers, memory seems to be the first key to speed. You may be better off budgeting for memory than trying to figure out how to put your OS safely on a Raptor so you can (not) see how much faster your system boots. Certainly, the more storage, the better. Be certain you understand the risks with RAID.
    MacGurus has some great literature for photographer workstations. Don't hesitate to give them a call and speak to Rick or Brian if you need detailed answers. They are one helpful business, probably the best resource for photographers in the marketplace.

  • P67A-GD65 questions about RAID, Overclocking, Sleep, etc

    Just got this motherboard a couple of months ago.  Running Windows 7 64-bit Ultimate.  BIOS 1.G0 and yes I am aware that there is a newer version.  It's my first MSI board and I have a few questions.
    1) I am interested in setting up RAID 0.  I have 2x brand new Western Digital 7200 RPM drives that I would like to put into RAID 0 for my OS (and backup to another drive of course).  Which ports should I use?  The integrated Intel RAID controller or the third party (JMicron or Marvell?), which I have currently disabled in the BIOS to increase boot time.  The drives are SATA 3.0 if that matters, not 6.0.
    2) I have a Core i7 2600 non-K installed.  Would I still be able to use the included MSI tools to overclock, even if the multiplier is fixed?  Should I use OC Genie or Afterburner?
    3) What are the BIOS settings that I need to tweak to be able to come out of sleep by moving the mouse or pressing a key on the keyboard?  I tried enabling the "Resume by USB/PCI/e" options but it always makes it so that the computer comes back out of sleep immediately after Windows starts the go-to-sleep process.  
    4) I am using this is a server.  Is there any BIOS/hardware level power management that I could implement since it's a machine that will likely be powered on 24/7 except for when I decide to put it to sleep?
    Edit: and before anyone decides to post some link about the difference between hardware and software raid, I ALREADY KNOW.  I am just wondering based on which controller I'll get better performance out of, Intel ICH10R vs Marcel SE9128.  All of the forum posts I've seen online are only with regards to SSD drives and not mechanical, which will yield different benchmarks.

    1) RAID preference is individual. Since you disabled 3rd party for loading time, will you want to sacrifice loading time now? Do you need to connect more drives to the system as a standalone data drive or just those needed for RAID?
    2) Overclocking Q&A, please refer to Overclockers section.
    3 & 4) I would use S1 and tweak settings in OS Power Management for hibernation settings. Since it is a server on 24/7, usually, just the monitor will be off and screensaver on. The rest are not needed to be powered off or put to energy saving.

  • Question about hard drive, need help lol.

    Hey I'm kinda new to the MacBook world and have a stupid question. I am getting a late 2009 MacBook unibody (white polycarbonate, model MacBook 6.1... I believe) I am switching the original 250gb 5400 rpm hard drive out for a Seagate Momentus XT 750gb 7400 rpm hybrid hard drive. I want to keep everything on the original hard drive and just pop the new hard drive and start fresh with Snow Leopard. I'm going to purchase the SL cd from apple but I do not have the original  grey start up cd that came with it (my girlfriends little sister lost it). Do I need to call apple for that cd in order to start fresh on my new hard drive or is everything I need on the SL cd?
    Also how do I go about wiping the whole computer when I put the hard drive in and use SL? I want to essentially have a completely clean laptop with a new hard drive.
    Thanks for your help in advance.

    The SL disc you get from Apple will do everything you need. When you nstall the new hard drive there will be nothing to wipe, the drive is the only piece of that Mac hat stores anything so you don't need to worry about that. Post back and let me know how that hybrid drive works out....I'm interested.

  • A logical question about why we update firmware

    just being real here
    we all like the latest and greatest products, especially mobiles, and we all know they have their share of isues. but yet still we buy even though the device we owned previously worked fine or almost something like 90%.
    the question is why do we buy these devices, then depend on firmware updates that sometimes improves speed, or maybe add a couple apps, but doesn't solve the bugs. why do we even bother to update. do we have to. if our phone is working ok, why go through the update process, lose all our installed apps, and then start encountering problems we never had before.
    it is just a strange price we pay for technology. remember before firmware updates were available, our phones worked great. no worrying about wi-fi connection problems, or camera bugs, or widgets not loading, or phone constantly crashing and rebooting on its own. why can't we get a phone that works 100%, especially when we shell out up to $600us or sometimes more.
    when i new update is released i am hesitant to go through it, but in the end still do. sad but true. so the question is, WHY?
    Message Edited by coopere on 06-Jul-2009 05:13 PM
    everything happens for a reason
    check out my blog @ http://mycellife.blogspot.com/

    Good question ;-)
    That question is more philosophical than mobile-related I think. That´s how people work and that´s how our market system works. People always want to have the newest gadgets, the latest technologies etc. Sometimes they´re better, sometimes not, but whether a product succeeds in the marketplace is not always about quality.
    Demand creates offerings. If there wasn´t any demand for newer mobiles, there wouldn´t be any.

  • Question about creating and updating new columns in a table

    Hi, I have a couple of questions that would love some answers to
    Please bear in min that questions relate to datawarehouse / Just large tables with say about 50 million records
    1) How do you create new columns in a big table
    2) how do you update the new columns
    3) would you create an index on a column in a table with 200m rows when the only two possible values are stored in the column (e.g.Y, N) - give your resason
    my aswers to these would be
    1) simple alter table ...
    2) simple update statements
    3) No need to create an index
    I might be wrong on these in the context of datawarehouse
    cheers
    css_jay99

    If the number of Y vs. N is about 50/50, you only have to parse through 50% of the
    overall amount of columns.Fnord. If the ratio of Y to N was 1:20 then the index would be useful for searching for values of Y only. Or if the column is nullable and the bulk of the entries were null then it might be useful. But a 50/50 split? FTS is much more effective.
    So, it does depend on the data distribution, but in most cases such an index would never be used (or should never be used).

  • Quick question about showing drive space

    Hi,
    Just got a quick query about showing remaining drive space on the desktop.
    Before I wiped my Pismo and reinstalled Tiger (bad kernel panic), my hard drive and any other connected drives (pen drive, iPod, iDisk, etc) showed up on my Desktop with the name and drive capacity and remaining space underneath the icon.
    Now I've reinstalled, the drive capacity and remaining space don't show up on the Desktop, and I can't find how to turn it on. I've been through Preferences several times and can't find an obvious switch. Have I missed something? I'm running Tiger 10.4.8 with the machine spec below.
    Thanks in advance,

    Sometimes, for no obvious reason, the Finder can be slow to update. And sometimes it updates instantly. Why? "Only the Shadow knows...." or maybe the Apple programmers.

  • Please help with RAID driver update.

    I need a little help with updating my RAID drivers. I have P55-GD65 motherboard and some SATA2 hard drives connected in RAID arrays. I am running Win7 64bit.
    I already downloaded and installed:
    “Intel P55 AHCI / RAID Drivers Ver: 8.9.0.1023”
    from the MSI support web page. The setup file installed the “Matrix Storage Manager” and  the “Matrix Storage Console”
    On the same web page I see another download link:
    “Intel Matrix Storage Manager Driver Ver: 9.5.0.1037”
    It looks like I already installed the manager with the previous driver. Do I need to install this one too? What is the difference between both?
    Also when I open the “Intel Matrix Storage Manager Driver Ver: 9.5.0.1037” I see 2 executable files:
    “iata_cd.exe” and “iata_enu.exe”
    I read the “Readme.txt” provided, but I couldn't find information on what is the difference between the EXE files and which one I should use.

    Use either one.  It doesn't matter in a functional way.

  • Question about NAS drives

    Im looking to get some network attached storage for my home. I have a 20 inch iMac that is hard wired and a 15 inch macbook pro (not 802.11N). I have a linksys 802.11N router that i have set up. I want to attach a NAS, and was thinking about this one
    http://www.westerndigital.com/en/products/Products.asp?DriveID=279
    My questions.
    1) Would it be fast enough?
    2) If i put my itunes library on it and stream that to my Apple TV (when it gets here) will there be any buffer time?
    3) I use FCP a lot and would use it as my capture disc, will that be fast?
    4) Are there any other drives i should look at first?
    As you can see im really worried about speed so anyone that can help please let me know. Thanks
