RAID arrays and Windows

Not sure where to post this one. You have been very helpful before so I’ll try again.
The machine is the Media Centre in my signature.
Installed two new Maxtor SATA drives, set up as RAID 0, clean install of XP MCE. Boots on the RAID array. Not a single problem. Installed MSI drivers, XFS video card drivers and KCorp PCI network adaptor for wireless link. Download and install all Windows updates. All OK.
On a later start up it spends long time trying to detect RAID array, then RAID error. Automatically reboots and detects a healthy raid array. Tries to open Windows but screen goes almost black but faint Windows loading page with the short activity bar showing no activity. If left it eventually springs to life. Tried starting in safe mode, no problem. Restore to an earlier restore point, no better.
The RAID problem is intermittent. The Windows problem looks as if it stalls for a variable length of time before it gets going.
Don’t know where to go next. Any suggestions?

fafner: I wanted a large disk to hold recorded TV progs, videos, CDs etc and 160GB is the max for this mainboard. I went for 2x160GB Maxtor drives. As I was using two drives I reasoned I might as well use RAID 0 to get a single volume and a faster machine. In particular I read somewhere that RAID 0 halved, or nearly so, the start up time. Who wants to wait a couple of minutes for the TV to fire up?
Fredrik: The XFX video card drivers are in fact nVidia drivers which are the latest.
Doctor Stu: I have subsequently installed XP on both drives individually. On one it worked well, on the other same old problem: either the drive not found in the BIOS after the heading ‘Detect IDE drives’ or the screen fades as Windows starts up. Checked both drives with Maxtor’s Powermax disk checking utility. Provided the drive was connected to the SATA1 socket and the other drive not connected both passed the Full Test. I could not get Powermax to recognise SATA2 even though both were detected correctly in the BIOS. My conclusion is that the problem was a dodgy connection which I hope has been rectified with all the swapping around.
Is there disk testing utility that puts the disc under load similar to Mem86 for memory?
Will I try RAID again? I doubt it even though it did start up in far less time.
My thanks to all.

Nvidia 64bit drivers and Windows XP64Bit

Lo ppl , im a newbie here.
Here we go :
Fresh install of Windows XP64 on my new Seagate Baracuda ,
Pressed F6 durring installation for Sata/Raid drivers - windows reported corrupt files.
Windows then carried on installing fine, rebooted and system loaded fine.
K - time for NVIDIA drivers (latest 64bit drivers from nvidia)
Installed system drivers first including IDE drivers. - Reboot
System loads till Windows XP64 screen, scrolly finishes, and then screen goes blank and h/drive light flashes but system does'nt finalize boot.
Tried Roll back on all Nvidia drivers - no help
2) - Reformat h/drive and whole proccess again. except instead of installing all Nvidia drivers, I just tried the Network drivers - same problem as b'fore
Rollback also failed
3) Reformat h/drive and whole proccess again. except instead of installing nvidia system files I installed nvidia display drivers for my Geforce. Same problem windows failed to post. And rollback also fails to repair problem.
tried system recover and that also did'nt work
I'm as hell.
Any help plz

Sorted my problem out - After reading 3hours of posts on this forum I came to the conclusion that keyboards and psu's are real NB on this mobo.
My 300W psu could this be the problem I asked myself
Well went out and got a 500W KME Gold unit not the best but not the worst
Reformated my HD and did win64 reinstallation
Installed new PSU unit
Booted up win64 and installed NVIDIA 64Bit driver manually from Device Driver Menu
Rebooted and wolla all works fine.
So I'm not 100% sure it was the PSU unit, I might temp a reformat again to verify if it was psu or way I installed drivers.
Now next ?
Why does'nt any of the utils on MSI setup cd run on win64 or are there 64bit versions available , or alternative progs that I can use on win64 ?

Raid Striped And Windows Xp Pro

I have set up a RIAD striped configuration on my K8T Neo with 2 SATA Hard drives (see full specs below)
Does anyone know why if I boot to Windows XP CD to do anything ie format other drives, recovery console ect.
The only drives I see are all the other drives EXCEPT my RAID drives !.
It's the same when entering the recovery console...the RAID drives ane not there !
How is one supposed to repair the windows setup or anything if the drives set up as RAID are not available ! and why is this .

Thanks for the replies guys.
Do I understand you correctly when you say i have to load the RAid drivers when booting from the CD just as though I was installing Windows?
I thought that as I already had the RAid set up and running Ok and indeed showing the Array when booting I would have thought the drivers were already there ?
Perhaps I'm wrong am I?
I need to re load the Raid drivers (F6) on booting to allow the recovery console to "See" the Raid setup do I?
Thanks

Adding Raid drivers to Windows 8.1 VHDX

I have a Windows 8.1 VHDX which I used to boot into prior to updating to 8.1.
The vhdx file sits on an SSD which is in a raid.
After the 8.1 update, I cannot boot into the VHDX.
If I move the VHDX to my non-raid drive, it boots fine.
Looks like the vhdx cannot find the raid drivers while booting, which is suprising cause it booted fine before 8.1
How do I add RAID drivers to my VHDX, so that I can boot to it.

If you can boot to it when it is hosted on Hyper-V or the non-RAID drive and the RAID is attached at that point, you can simply install the RAID driver package at that point to provide support for
the array. If you are booting to VHD natively you can just install the package but if you are doing so through Hyper-V, you will
have to offline the RAID array in the host OS and attach it directly to the virtual machine. Either way the VHD will need to be located on the non-RAID drive for the operation.
You can also use the registry setting to enable the RAID driver if it was previously installed and somehow switched back to AHCI, you will need to set the Start key under the driver service (probably iaStorV, but this may vary depending on storage chipset),
located at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services, to 0 for on (from 3 for off). Check with support for the storage chipset manufacturer if you are unsure about this
setting.

My solution for No Audio -- Conexant drivers and Windows 7 x64

My son and I have the L2000 laptop that came with 32 bit XP and used the Conexant chipset for Audio. I had been using an SB Audigy PCMCIA card so I am not sure when Audio was really lost; however, he noticed it when I upgraded his PC. I scoured various forums looking for 64 bit Windows 7 drivers for Conexant audio but to no avail. Microsoft and Conexant both said that HP should supply the drivers. By the way HP, the Conexant website says that they do not supply drivers even though they make the chipsets "at the request of the OEM's." Another post said that HP was not going to supply these drivers for Windows 7. The solution from HP for my model and Windows 7 was the "HP Software Advisor" which was 67MB and totaly useless. It appears that this is a very common problem. Anyway, here is what you do:
First you need 2 files which ironically enough come from HP, they are SP35558.exe and SP35558.cva They contain the Conexant drivers for Vista x64. (I subsequently have found the 32 bit drivers and the procedure should be very similar except the files are SP34789.exe and SP34789.cva). Type the following into your browser address bar ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/ About half way down you will find the sub-directory with these files. Just right click each one and save to your desktop.
Double click SP35558.cva and tell Windows to use Notepad to open it. Scroll about half way down to "[Operating Systems]" and after "WV64UL=OEM" insert:
W764HB=OEM
W764HP=OEM
W764PR=OEM
W764UL=OEM
( For 32 bit systems use W732HB=OEM, etc.)
I next went up about 10 lines to "[System information]" and added
SysId3=0x3091
SysName3=HP Pavilion ze2000 series
SysId4=0x3096
SysName4=Compaq presario M2000 series

SysId7=0x3093
SysName7=Compaq Presario M2000 series
SysId8=0x3093
SysName8=HP Special Edition L2000 series
I got this information from another cva file on my PC at C;/swsetup/ This is the directory where HP updates default to.
After modding the cva file, I saved it to C;/swsetup/sp35558/
I then executed the SP35558.exe file. It did not work the first time -- I missed a line in my cva file. However, I then manually installed the Conexant drivers as follows and voila I had sound, nice crisp clear sound.
Under Device Manager, right click "Multimedia Audio Device" under "Other" and choose "Update Driver" Then" Browse your PC" and "Choose from a list". Select "Sound, audio and game controllers", then Conexant, then "Have Disk" . Browse to C:/swsetup/sp35558/ and open "cp6308Ba.inf" (64bit remember). Now choose "OK" and ignore any warnings about incompatibility, WHQL, etc. Give it plenty of time, you might think you are in a loop, but you are not. Congratulations, you are done.

The use of the cva file is to streamline the driver install and it is kind of cool if it works. If you cannot find it or you are not successful the first time or you do not want to bother with modding anything, do not worry, the manual install will work for sure.
Run sp35558.exe to extract everything and let it strike out. Then go to Device Manager and update the driver manually as follows:
Under Device Manager, right click "Multimedia Audio Device" under "Other" and choose "Update Driver" Then "Browse your PC" and "Choose from a list".

CS3 dds drivers and Windows 7 64bit issue

I have photoshop CS3 working however I can't load the dds drivers. I've tried everything see below. Anyone been able to load the Nvidia dds drivers?
What is the proper proceedure to effectively install the DDS files in CS3 in a windows 7 64 bit environment?
I tried the 32 bit and 64 bit files and when I use the 32 bit file i get an error opening up photoshop that says missing D3x9_43.dll, and I don't have the option to save in a .dds format. If I uninstall the dds 32 bit program the missing D3x9_43.dll error goes away.
When I load 64 bit version no errors but I still don't have the option to save in .dds format. Kind of frustrating..................
I've just uninstalled and cleaned CS3. I've done a new fresh load of CS3. What are the correct steps from here?
Which file should I download? etc.
Thank you in advance.
Ok, I've tried everything I can find.
I let the 32 bit dds program load to a seperate folder and manually transfered the files to the proper folders in Photoshop and still get the same results as above. I tried renaming them and removing the 32 extensions and still no go. I did the same thing with the 64 bit program and still no go.
The 32 bit program said it was still looking for the D3X9_43.dll file for some reason. I haven't tried downloading that file since I don't know where to put it.
Can someone please help me. Has anyone got the DDS files to work with CS3 and Windows 7?
Thank you
Bill

Got it fixed. I loaded the drivers from my old XP machine. drivers are from 2007. Don't remember where I got them from but they worked. I can save dds files again.
Thank you for the reply.

Problems with drivers and Windows after restoring

Hey All, I hope you can help because I have myself a confusing problem.
I have a Satellite A500 series laptop running Windows 7 Premium.
I recently had a hard drive fail. I have replaced the hard drive and used the restore/recovery disks provided to me by Toshiba.
My problem is, during the recovery I am informed that two drivers do not have the necessary Digital Signatures. These are the Realtek RTL9191SE Wireless LAN 802.11n PCI-E NIC and the TOSHIBA Firmware 64 bit Drivers.
Once recover was complete I tried to use the computer and had several issues that may be connected:
1. I cannot get any Microsoft updates- which includes any of the troubleshooting options etc. Apparently the service is not running. Even if I got to the website I can't get anything.
2. My Microsoft Office produce key code (printed on the botton of my laptop) is "incorrect"
3. My wireless will not work because there is no digital signature validation (code 52)
I know my wireless if functional because if I press F8 during boot up I get the option to ignore signature validations and can get on the internet. From there I did download and install an updated driver from the TOSHIBA website, which had no effect (I got the same error, even after uninstalling the other driver). Even while ignoring signatures I cannot update windows or use any of the computers troubleshooting or assistance.
I have tried restoring a second time to no avail (got the exact same errors). Any suggestions to getting this computer back to "out of the box?" Or at least functional enought I can surf the web and work on my Excel charts?
Thanks
Loren

In another thread, a similar problem was solved by installing the Intel driver iata_enu.exe from here.

That's supposed to take care of a change in the hard drive's properties.

CA-42 cable drivers and Windows 8 (x64)

Hi,
Are the CA-42 cable drivers compatible with Windows 8 available?
The ones that I have on a CD worked with Windows XP, but I don't think they'll be good for Windows 8.

In the Windows Control Panel » Software, what is the version of your Nokia Connectivity Cable Driver: 7.1.182?
In the Windows Device Manager, was a Modem generated for your Nokia 6610i?
This rules out PC Suite and Nokia Suite, and allows us to concentrate on the USB cable driver. If no modem was listed for your phone, please, attach your Nokia 6610i and have a look at the USB devices. Is there any yellow mark? Context-click on that and refresh its driver. If that does not help: Are you sure, you have an original Nokia CA-42?
I can't see a "Software" category in Control Panel in Windows 8, so I can't check the version of my Nokia Connectivity Cable Driver.
Do you mean "Uninstall or change a program" in Control Panel?
No modem in Device Manager after connecting the phone. Does it need to be created? As far as I remember from Windows XP, no modem was created and the connection was initiated and worked OK.
No USB devices with a yellow mark, either.
The cable is, in fact, DKU-5, but it worked fine with this 6610i on Windows XP.
I read on other forums that you have to install virtual COM port emulation drivers for this cable.
I have the drivers on the original CD that came with the cable, and they were installed on Windows XP (x32) a few years ago and worked OK, but I don't think they will be compatible with Windows 8 (x64). Am I right?
Please note that I don't need a connection with a PC to use internet. I just need to transfer data (mainly text messages) from the phone to a PC

5640 drivers and Windows 8.1 ... some hardware issues

have the latest bootcamp drivers installed on my mbp in windows 8.1.
When i put the computer to sleep, then wake ... wifi will not reconnect.
Normally, on the wireless connections pane, directly above the list of wifi connections, the toggle switch says "WIFI". But after waking up from sleep, the toggle switch says "WIFI 2" ... in either instance, the toggle switch is set to on.
anyone know if this is a bug with the bootcamp drivers, windows or something else ? right now I have to pretty much restart to get wifi connected and working in windows.
the second issue I noticed: my keyboard backlighting doesn't come on instantly when the welcome screen comes up. in fact, it doesn't illuminate until i start toggling the dedicated illumination keys. strange behavior.
i've tried reinstalling the driver package from the 5640 zip, still experiencing these problems.
anyone have any info on what these issues might be caused by or anyone experiencing them as well ?

I have also been having this issue on my newly bought Late 2013 Retina MacBook Pro (rMBP), running Windows 8.1 Pro (using native EFI) with Boot Camp's latest drivers (version 5.1.5640). After waking up from sleep, the "Broadcom 802.11ac Network Adapter" becomes the "Broadcom 802.11ac Network Adapter #2" and subsequently "Wi-Fi" becomes "Wi-Fi 2," requiring me to reconnect to all of my networks since Windows seems to tie saved wireless networks to the driver.
Here is what I've found so far (note that when I say "Wi-Fi 2," I mean the driver is using the Network Adapter #2 instead of the original, numberless one):
This only happens to Windows--the Mac side is fine.
This only happens when Windows is put to sleep; hibernation and Fast Boot shutdown do not change the driver. I'm actually using hibernation right now as an alternative to sleep mode because it works fine.
Sleeping a second time within the same Windows session keeps "Wi-Fi 2" as "Wi-Fi 2."
I need to restart to get the original driver to work again. Shutting down *may* work, though, but since hibernation keeps "Wi-Fi 2" as "Wi-Fi 2" and doesn't change the driver back, I doubt it. Maybe non-Fast Boot shutdown would also fix it, but restart works well enough.
Essentially, sleep mode is unusable in Windows, since this network shuffle makes it so all networks need to be re-added.
Now, I have also noticed that booting into Windows with the Thunderbolt to Gigabit Ethernet adapter causes the Network Adapter to become "Broadcom 802.11ac Network Adapter #3" (and thus creating a "Wi-Fi 3" entry on the connection manager). I'm assuming that the Ethernet Adapter would also cause the Network Adapter #2 to appear if it were uninstalled previously.
AND, in the Windows Event Viewer, I see this, and I wonder if it is related to the above because the Wi-Fi adapter uses the PCI-express bus on the Late 2013 rMBP:
"The system firmware has changed the processor's memory type range registers (MTRRs) across a sleep state transition (S4). This can result in reduced resume performance."
What the heck is going on here??
I have tried messing around with the Device Manager's various Power Management tabs, as well as the Link State Power Management stuff in the Windows Control Panel. Nothing worked, and I have since set everything back to normal and changed every "Sleep" option I could find to "Hibernate." This isn't an ideal workaround due to the writes this makes to the SSD, so if anyone has a fix or can help figure this out that would be most appreciated!

Mac OS X 10.7, JTDS Drivers, and Windows Authentication

I'm trying to connect to a Microsoft SQL Server using JTDS 1.2 drivers loaded to SQL Developer via the third-party JDBC drivers preference. This configuration works with other applications, and I'm able to contact the server, but the Windows Authentication connection option in Oracle SQL Developer doesn't seem to be working. Is anyone else having this issue? Is there some place in this application that I can set my DOMAIN? The closest match to a similar problem that I have found is in the last post of this thread:
Can not connect to sql server on port 1433
...but I'm unable to find the connections.xml file that this poster is referencing. Any help is appreciated.

Thats awesome! Thank you, that was exactly my problem... however now I keep getting an error that says "The user is not associated with a trusted SQL Server connection". I've tried about every combination. I put my windows login and pwd, and I assume "windows authentication" should still be checked, and port and domain both filled out. The only thing I change in the connections xml file is to change the customURL entry to jdbc:jtds:sqlserver://myserverhose:myportname/;domain=mydomainname. Any thoughts? I'm worried it may just be a setting SQL server I can't change.

Help with HP G60 458DX Sound Drivers and Windows 8.1

T42 drivers and windows 7

I have a t42 and just upraded to windows 7. works great other than a few major problems. Drivers.
Not sure how I need to get them on here. there are 5 or 6 listed under unregistered devices. they are a biometric compressor, multimedia audio device, network controller, and then the other 3 are just listed as unkown.
the ethernet port is working fine, it is the wireless that is listed under that device, and the most crucial thing that I am trying to get working, and the sound is also a big issue.
When i go to search for the drivers automatically via internet, it alomst imediatly comes back telling me there are no drivers found.
Well when i go to the drivers download page for the t42 and go to the wireless drivers, first there are like 6 diffrent kinds listed and I have no idea what one i have on my t42. A few of them say windows vista/7 should automatically find the drivers, but of course that isn't working. also a few of them don't even have a vista/7 download.
what do i need to do here guys?

In addition to the suggestions above, try force installing this Vista driver v11.05.0 API for your WLAN card, I also have a T42[but with a different card] and when I tried Win 7 on it, I too have to have force install the driver, it worked like a charm in the end.
While extracting the above package, make a note of the location where it gets copied in C:\Drivers.... because you would need to run the actual setup from this location in order to successfully install the driver.
I hope it helps.

MOVED: K9VGM-V (RAID Controller) and Windows Vista Upgrade

This topic has been moved to Vista problems.
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=108307.0

I'm having the same problem but I can't switch my drives. I have my 2 200 gig maxtors full of data that i can't let go of. I've installed a new silicon images pci card with 2 sata channels. if i hook up the drives both bios recognize the drives correctly but it tell me invalid system disk. pretty sure that it's reading the pci card, not seeing a os installed and not even looking at my onboard controller. I was told that i can change irq priority, but i can't get it right or it doesn't work. I can install os on pci card but would really rather not. I'm very happy with the setup i have for once.

How do I create a RAID 0 on a P43-C51 mainboard and Windows 7

I just upgraded my computer with a new MSI P43-C51 mainboard, Intel E8400 Dual Core and Windows 7. I have two identical Western Digital 250GB SATA drives. In my previous system, using Windows XP, I had the two drives configured in RAID 0. I was unable to find the RAID drivers (and still haven't found them) for the RAID configuration so I erased the hard drives and started over new. I have the system up and running and want to re-install Windows 7 but in RAID 0 format. How do I do this?
I have downloaded the RAID drivers: Intel_HECI_MB.zip from the MSI download site but I haven't been able to use the software to create a RAID 0 configuration.
With my last board and XP, it was straight forward. The old BIOS itself allowed the creation of a RAID 0 configuration and the board CD included the drivers for XP. I am wondering if I overlooked something basic and my new board just doesn't support RAID.
Any advice or help would be appreciated and thank you in advance!

Thanks, that is what I suspected. Now I have a good excuse to upgrade the hard drives to SATA II !
