Raid Drivers for TS440

Really?  I mean, I have been in this business for years.. and I have never.. ever had this much trouble finding a stupid driver.  Insane!
I dont want to use easy setup.. I want to manually install server 2008 r2...  I am amazed at how difficult it is.  I have tried every single driver availiable on the support/ drivers page for the TS440.  I have to be missing something, but my rage at this point is blinding.  I am in awe.. this reminds me of the old gateway days.. jesus h.

For those that might stumble across this. If you are trying to extract the files in the .exe (like I have always been able to do before ) to get the .inf files and put them on a usb.. you are wrong.
You have to download and run the stupid .exe, which will put the stupid .inf's in a default location of C:\Swtools or some garbage. HP called, they want their dumb *** SOP's back.

  • 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

    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

  • WinXP Pro 64, any nForce3 SATA/RAID drivers?

    I'm confused your after nvidia drivers yet spec shows = VIA® K8T800 chipset.
    If Nvidia d/load the nvidia64 drivers & make a new floppy with the updated drivers. to do this Right click the D/L driver File  & select unpack/unzip. Navigate to the \Nvidia\nForce_vrsion ?? \IDE\WinXP folder copy everything except the raidtool Folder onto floppy.
    luck
       Why are you confused?   i want to know why or if i can use regular XP pro raid drivers for my Nforce3 chipset on MSI neo platinum board if i install Windows XP pro 64-bit edition. There is no 64 bit download for them so , do i need any?

  • K8N 64bit sata raid drivers?

    ANyone know where or how to get drivers for intalling 64bit windows on this motherboard. I cannot find any sata raid drivers for this board for w64. Thankyyou

    Thankyou for your responses.  I did try extracting the nvidia files to a floopy but I must have done something wrong.  I did find a site that showed how to use the via drivers and make a txsetup.oem file, but that seemed to complicated. I know you folks will have an answer. Thanks again.

  • VIA SATA RAID Drivers

    I lost the floppy disk containing the VIA SATA raid drivers for Windows Installation. My M/B is the KT600 FISR. So I kinda need the drivers as I am setting up a SATA drive.
    Can someone please say where I can get the drivers, or email me the attached drivers.
    My email is:
    [email protected]
    Thanks,
    Sam

    I am worried my floppy drive controller or something on the motherboard is not working. I tried the floppy disk containing drivers and Windows Installer said still said "Please insert the manufactuer's disk", I took out the disc and got the same message.
    Then I booted up Windows Installer with the same floppy disk in a different MSI motherboard (a P4 mobo I have) and it detected the drivers fine.
    Tried all the updated drivers you specified, and the floppy drive reads fine from Windows and is brand new (same problem with old one which I replaced only to find the same problem :
    The mobo is still under warranty, should I give MSI / dabs.com a call?

  • K8N Diamond Plus SiI 3132 WinXP x64 non-RAID drivers?

    Hi
    I'm looking for non-RAID drivers for the SiI 3132 on my K8N Diamond Plus for WinXP x64 (I managed to fine the x32 ones and they work fine so I know it's not the drives or the moboard.  I tried the drivers on MSI's website.
    I've searched around the forum and followed the leads onto planetamd64 and the Asus website for them, but to no avail.
    To be precise, I have selected non-RAID in the BIOS, and the drives to show up on on the POST screen, but do not appear in Win 64; there is the classic exclamation mark in the device manager for a 'Mass Storage Device'.  I don't want to concatenate the drives in RAID mode, so I did not try booting with that selected in the BIOS lest it destroy the stuff I have on them. 
    [I miss the simple JBOD option in the 3114...]
    Any help gratefully appreciated!
    thx
    bn
     

    Hi all,
    I solved the problem. 
    You won't find the drivers under the drivers section of SiI's website but you will in the Knowledge Base.  Look under Serial ATA | COntrollers | SiI3132, you'll find article 11043 'SATA 64 bit Windows IDE driver - released' dated 8/19/05.  Click under that and you'll find a file 3132_win64_idrv_1004_logo.zip.  It's what you need.
    Hope this helps someone.

  • Oracle Ent. Linux  drivers for HP Smart Array B110i Sata Raid Controller

    Trying to install Oracle Ent. Linux (OEL) release 4 update 8 on HP DL 180 G6 server. Where we can find OEL drivers for the sata raid controller ?
    (HP Smart Array B110i Sata Raid Controller)
    Thanks in advance.

    The HP support side shows a Linux certification matrix at: http://h18000.www1.hp.com/products/servers/linux/hplinuxcert.html
    From there you can also download the necessary drivers and instructions or use HP smartstart CD which prepares the system for the OS you need to install. Oracle Enterprise Linux is binary compatible with RHEL. You will need to click on "Archive" to see support for Enterprise Linux version 4 and older.
    Also interesting should be Red Hat Enterprise Linux Technical Exceptions at

  • K9A2 Platinum not loading raid drivers sb600 or promise for raid 0

    I am tired of trying by myself, hopefully you guys can help me out Ive been fighting this thing for 2days now and i hate this computer I'm on that feels like 28k dial up.
       i know theres the promise plugs and the sb600, and i know they have different drivers. i also know that you have to disable the sb600 raid to get the promise working and vise versa *read the manual for that*. i set up the raid in raid configure *<alt-f>* and set it to raid 0 and assign the raid, and its fully functional.
       the problem is when it comes to boot windows i hit f6 and then use the drivers i got off the cd...or website *two floppy's* and pick the i86 raid configuration *windows xp not 64, 64bit one is corrupted on both disks as well* it gets through that part, i format the drive *it sees in in raid in fast configure and in windows format, not in bios* and then go to install. it begins to install and stops on the first file FTT.inf, it apparently cannot read it, which is the same file on the disk if i am not mistaken. i have tried to install about 100times,if not more with different configurations in the bios.
        the settings i have now for raid set up in the bios are:
    integrated peripherals
    extra raid controller enabled
    in I/O devices on chip sata controller disabled *tried both enabled and disabled same problem*
    it does not show drives in the sata ports but i figured that since it only shows 1-4 and the internal promise are the 5/6 ports.
       i have formated and re-installed the drivers on the disks multiple times ive also tried the sb600 drivers disabling the extra raid controller in bios setting raid *it finds it in the 1/2 slots then 1 as raid* configured it in the raid set up as well but the same problem arises except its not FTT.inf its ahcix86.inf that errors. skipping the files *which is obvious  but i tried it just to see what would happen * causes blue screen on reboot and another error of the same type at 99% but .sys file this time.
       i have installed windows on one drive and booted up using the same drivers was able to configure everything was slightly inclined to just say screw it 1 drive it is. but it was a shame since i bought them both to raid 0 em from the start. loaded windows up and even installed drivers.
       i also heard that u need to do full format sometimes to get the raid to work if you have tried both raid drivers so i did slow fat format... no avail did it twice. and fast the rest. if you guys know of any boot-able type formating program that i could throw on a floppy disk that would be great too, if thats the case.
    i am at a wall and frustrated as all hell with what Ive done so far hope u guys can help me out, tried to be as detailed as possible but i bet i missed something .
    rig specs*dont know if this will help but w/e*

    did all those settings. and have the newest and the disk version of the drivers.
    do u guys really think that it not being able to find the driver file a power issue? either way i ll do anything at this point i rewired some stuff where the video card has its own rail and the hard drives have theirs with the cd-rom drive. took out my fan controler and really power hungry after market video card fan replaced with an old 60mm fan.
    Error once again... ??? DAMN FTT3.inf file
    edited: cause i sounded like an angry a$$hole with that first line :P
    Stop swearing here! It's NOT allowed.
    As for the floppy, goto the command prompt of a Windows machine, then type "format a:" and let the floppy format, if your floppy shows any error throw it away and try another.
    It's not uncommon floppies fail.

  • Areca RAID card drivers for Leopard?

    I cannot seem to find Leopard drivers for my Areca 1220ML RAID card. Areca support page has no new drivers since Tiger and though they list their product as supported under Leopard, there exists no drivers that I can find. Apple makes no mention of them on the driver support/download section either
    help!

    I have an Areca 1220 (not ML) that I put into a 10.5.4 Macbook Pro system (via external PCIE) and it worked without having to do anything. The drivers were already present. I have since swapped out the 1220 SATA for a 1680 SAS and it, too, worked without needing any drivers. I guess the press release from Areca was true!
    http://www.areca.com.tw/news/2007/n1106.htm
    However, I did find a link to OS X drivers on the Areca site, which hopefully brings some assurance:

  • K9A2 *V1* Bios 1.8 - No drivers for Promise RAID controller.

    Does anyone know which set of Promise Raid drivers work with the updated Promise firmware that is part of the 1.8 bios update?
    Version 1.2 of the bios includes Promise version 28.1030.0021 which works with at least 1.1.1030.27 of the promise drivers.
    Version 1.8 of the bios includes Promise version 28.1030.0032 for which I cannot find any working drivers; do they exist? (Vista cannot see the controller and is unable to locate a suitable driver. Trying to use existing promise driver fails since it will not recognise the device)
    Just had a brainwave. On the MSI site, there is an updated driver pack for the Promise controller (this is a V1 board); this version is
    Vista32/64 Ver.: 1.1.1030.47
    Is this the version that is compatible with v1.8 of the bios (and hence 28.1030.0032)?

    Give them a try, they if they work will show soon enough.
