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 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.

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.

10.9 update effects on software RAID drives

Hi everyone,
I would like to update my mac pro from 10.8 to 10.9 . I backed up everything but my major concern is that I have 2 HDDs that are RAIDed by the OS (software). The OS is on a seperate PCI SSD from OWC.
Is there any change that the software raid drives won't mount properly after 10.9 update?
Thanks,

Hi.
I tried the upgrade yesterday on a Mac Pro with a stand alone system drive and a mirrored RAID set currently being used as a scratch disk.
System disk is fine, but the scratch disk gives me the 'Initialize Disk?' dialog
So DON'T just upgrade to 10.9 when you are using a software RAID.
I didn't loose valuable data, it was primarily a lot of Final Cut render files, but I still wanna find a way to do the upgrade with having to copy and de-RAID the disks.
I'll be posting when I have any information on whats going wrong/how to do the upgrade and if any one gave any info, please share.

Can BIOS update "lose" RAID Drive?

If I flash my BIOS am I going to lose my raid drive/e.g. build it again and install windows?
Any help appreciated.
I currently have 1.1 BIOS and my CPU Voltage is unstable - CPU VID=1.37+3,3% V, but it runs between 1.34 and 1.42
Winchester 3500+/223@4HT, Multi x11

Quote from: TheBigMan on 22-July-05, 01:37:03
You will lose the configurations in BIOS but not the RAID.
The RAID will stay the same you will not lose any data. You just have to configure the BIOS (not the RAID one) to recognize the discs as RAID, as you configured them the first time.
Hope that is clear...
Be well....
Thanks for the reply. Do you think it will solve the above described unstable voltage for the CPU. I currently use 1.10 BIOS

Unable to capture to external RAID drive FCP 7

Here are my specs:
Model Identifier: MacPro1,1
Processor Name: Dual-Core Intel Xeon
Processor Speed: 2.66 GHz
Number Of Processors: 2
Total Number Of Cores: 4
L2 Cache (per processor): 4 MB
Memory: 4 GB
Bus Speed: 1.33 GHz
Boot ROM Version: MP11.005C.B08
Running:
OS X 10.5.8
Final Cut Studio 3 (recently upgraded from Studio 1)
At the end of last year I had a problem with capturing and upon research it seemed to be that the most recent update of QuickTime was not compatible with Final Cut Pro 5, which was causing my machine to not be able to capture at all. So we upgraded to Final Cut Studio 3 (FCP7) and part of the problem was solved but an issue still remains.
For over 3 years we have been using an external Raid drive as a capture scratch and we still have over 5 TBs free. The Raid is connected by SCSI. Earlier last year I was able to capture to the Raid drive without any problems but now the capture will freeze whenever that is set as the capture scratch. If I set the internal drive as the capture scratch it captures without any issues.
The problem is that using the internal as the capture scratch can only be a short term solution. The drive is only so large and I have a problem with finder if I try to move files from the internal drive to the external. Finder freezes up and I can't even force quit properly. So being able to once again use the external as the main capture scratch is the only real solution. The external is fully functionally and communicating with the Mac.
Any help with resolving this would be appreciated!

Off the top of my head, because I haven't worked with SCSI in years--
"The problem is that using the internal as the capture scratch can only be a short term solution. The drive is only so large and I have a problem with finder if I try to move files from the internal drive to the external. Finder freezes up and I can't even force quit properly. So being able to once again use the external as the main capture scratch is the only real solution. The external is fully functionally and communicating with the Mac."
Are you trying to move files while you have FCP open? The fact that simply moving files is giving you finder issues and freezing you up, says that all is not well with the scsi raid. You should not see that at all.
You might try powering down the mac and the raid, unplugging and letting the machine sit for a while to discharge the capacitors. Then try reseating the scsi card. (pull it out carefully and plug it back in.)
On another note, when you upgraded fcp, did you do a clean install?

What can I do about driver updates that will not install because of an "unknown error".

I have an HP p6530 Pavilion that is taking a while to startup. Not real long but longer then it should. I tried to install driver updates from Intel for the Chipset and RAID but when I download and install it will not finish the install because of an "unknown error" and then setup exits. I could really use advice from anyone that can help.

Have you tried to disable your virus protection and any running programs in the system tray? Turn off any programs that are not necessary before you run the updates. Make sure you run the updates as administrator (right click on the driver install program and click on run as administrator).

Sol 10 driver update issues!

Hey All;
I'm trying to install Solaris 10 1/06 (x86) from DVD onto our HP ProLiant DL585--we have 4 scsi disks, and I've configured the basic raid 5 array in the controller interface.
The problem happens when I try the driver update that's required in order for solaris to see the controller and disks. When we get to the 'select and installation type' menu, I'm picking "5 Apply driver updates", then choosing the floppy w/ the DU image from HP. That seems to go fine, but after it's extracted the driver to the miniroot system, I choose e for end (or maybe f for finished) and it goes straight into the interactive setup--there isn't an option to pick the solaris interactive text.
The problem with that is, the install hangs, and the solaris install manager screen says "failed to start the java VM" etc etc. It openes and interactive shell window, where I can run format and confirm that the disks are recognized now, but I can't seem to get any further. There is a note on the HP driver readme that says to select option 4 (solaris interactive text (console session), but I seem unable to specify the install option after doing the driver update.
Anyone have any advice for me? It's driving me slightly nutty at this point.

Now if you want to continue installation with option 4 then, install the drivers, and continue with the installation.
Hit escape when you see the �Proposed Window system configuration for installation� screen.... to go to the �Current or Proposed Window System Configuration� screen. Select �F3� in the �Current or Proposed Window System Configuration� and the install will proceed as a text install.
hope this will help.....

RAID drive help in Lion

Since updating to Lion, cannot connect to external RAID drive . Am I missing a setting somewhere?

I should be more specific. What I have: Audio =   24.21GB
                                                               Movies = 86.6MB

What I am wondering is what is in the other (23.32GB) How can I determine what file these are, and if they are required.

Yosemite doesn't recognize my built in RAID drives

I have a MacPro circa 2010-2011. After installing Yosemite, it lost contact with and could not (or would not) locate my RAID drive. Built into the machine. Also, I have a backup drive built into the machine, so I was able to revert. But I'm concerned about updating if I lose all of my data.
Has anyone else experienced this issue? Anyone have a solution?

This is all without hardware Apple Pro RAID controller?
How many drives? it would be an array volume, not "drive" and it can have multiple partition slices.
Have you considered www.SoftRAID.com version 5 at all?
Much easier to manage and handling of arrays, errors, and to manage partitions.
When it comes to arrays and a new OS I would be prepared to delete and use the new OS to reload after creating new volume(s).
As for RAID, this should be for media - not the system, the system being on a fast SSD and arrays - even when talking 15K drives in the past, aren't worth the added problems unless it is a mirror array and you need 24/7 for some reason where a clone (which you need anyway for backup) that can be popped in and be on your way in under 30 minutes.
Yes there was someone a couple weeks ago that had trouble.
Do a clean system install with all the other drives removed.
Save the installer before it deletes itself so move it to another safe place.
Use Setup Assistant after Yosemite is up and running and has all the current updates applied.
(that is also a good time to clone the system too, btw)
I don't see mention of type of drives and model and capacity, or type of array.
Yosemite makes some changes to how volumes are handled.

Nvidia RAID Driver Disk

Nvidia RAID Driver Disk
The problem is with trying to Install Windows XP [Upgrade]. (Clean Install)
K7N2 Delta2-LSR
I tried using the nForce3 SATA RAID Driver For Win2k/XP after pressing F6,
during XP Install.
They don't work, and after trying a couple of times - got an error reading.
This Motherboard has an nForce2 Chipset, so I read the Manual.
It showed how to make an Floppy SATA RAID Driver Disk.
I tried to copy the SATA RAID Drivers from the MSI Driver's CD - but
got Disk Full.
Then I downloaded an Program to Format Floppy at 1.72MB, and copied
all the necessary files to Floppy.
Tried using it after pressing F6, but got Error - Unrecoginized Format.
(The Floppy did read OK, MS-WIN ME)
BTW I thought this Motherboard used nForce2 SATA RAID, why they include
nForce3 SATA RAID Driver Floppy - I wonder.
Any way to get SATA RAID Driver's that will fit on FDD 1.44MB ?
[size=18]TheCyberDude[/size]

[size=18]UPDATE[/size][/b]
I looked at the nForce3 SATA RAID Driver, and the Folder raidtool was not on it.
They Manual said to copy all files (Including Folders) to Floppy.
(This wasn't posible, because of size limitation - 1.44 MB)
So I made an SATA RAID Driver from the MSI CD, except I didn't copy the
Folder raidtool.
I tried to install Windows XP Again, it Took the SATA RAID Drivers OK -
but after it said Setup loading files and the STALLS at Setup is Starting
Windows.
Tried it again, except this time I got this error:
(File txtsetup.oem caused an unexpected error (1024) at line 1747 in
d:\xpsprtm\base\boot\setup\oemdisk.c.)
If I don't Press F6, it shows the partitions:
39080 MB Disk 0 at Id 0 on bus 0 on atapi [MBR]
C: Partition1 [FAT32] 78160 MB (77280 MB free)
39080 MB Disk 0 at Id 0 on bus 0 on atapi [MBR]
Unpartitioned space 39080MB
I was able to Format with NTFS (Successfully), but it wasn't recongized.
(Figured that it wouldn't - Because I was able to get SATA RAID Driver's loaded Successfully)
Just wanted to see what it would do.

D20 (4158-48G) RAID driver -problem / Win 7

Hello,
I've created an array (RAID1) using two identical 500GB hd's. Marvell's raid bios (?) gives me the long awaited info that the RAID1 is online and ready to be used. The problem is with Win 7.
I've downloaded "drivers" that I need from here: http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?sitestyle=lenovo&lndocid=MIGR-73716
When I boot my system, Win 7 tells me that RAID driver is not installed correctly. When I go to the device manager and try to update the driver from specific location W7 doesn't find the drivers at all.
No luck.
Getting pissed off
And as much as I have tried to use google and this forum to solve my problem - i'm starting to feel I'm all alone with this problem (
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Thanks!
the problem was that I followed too blindly Lenovos homepage and assumed that the right driver was located where I thought It should be.
I went to Support -> ThinkBrand -> Quick Path
Typed my model D20's model number (4158-48G)
Chose a link "Downloads & drivers"
From "Refine results" -box I chose "RAID" - and it only gave intel Matrix driver support..
The correct one was found from here:

HP Laserjet 1200 and Driver Updates

On the "Download Drivers and Software" support page for the HP Laserjet 1200 printer, there is an option, "Automatically check to see if your driver needs updating".
A machine that I am supporting is having a MS Word collating issue (sometimes works, sometimes doesn't) and I don't know if its a driver issue or not. The machine is XP SP3.
If I click on this link, obviously it will check the drivers, but:
1) Will it give me the option to automatically update the drivers if it finds they are outdated, and
2) How do I roll back to the old driver if the update introduces problems?
Since this potential driver update isn't going through the normal MS XP driver update routine in Device Manager, I'm leery that I won't be able to recover if something goes wrong.

I am sorry, but to get your issue more exposure I would suggest posting it in the commercial forums since this is a commercial printer. You can do this at http://h30499.www3.hp.com/hpeb/
I hope this helps.

NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT driver update?

How is this done? I can update it in my Boot Camp installation running WinXP but how do I update it under MacOS X? Is it included in the regular OS updates or do I have to do something else? I noticed the other day that there's an update for the 8- series ( which would be what I have if I'm not totally mistaken ) among others.

I don't believe there are any driver updates for OS X.
