RAID option missing in BIOS

I am working with one each: the 865PE and the 865G. I have two 120GB Seagate SATA drives attached to the Intel controller. No VIA controller on-board. I am attempting to set up RAID 1 (mirrored), but I'm not able to activate the Intell controller, the option "CONFIGURE S-ATA as RAID" option is not available as shown in the manuals. Both drives do register in BIOS during POST sequence, but I can't figure out how to turn on the RAID controller so I can press CTRL-I and configure the RAID. I have installed the latest BIOS on each board.
Do these boards always have the RAID option, or is it truely "optional" and if so...what is the identifier on the box the says this board has the RAID option on board?
The white stickers show:
865PE:
P4-800, 865PE, ICH5,6ch S/W Audio, (DB2, Round, SATA*1, SATA Power*1) cable
865G:
p4-800, 865
g, ICH5,6ch S/W Audio, (DB2, Round , SATA*1, SATA Power*1) cable

None of the "G" boards have this option. Some of the newer Socket 775 boards do (ICH6R).
Thanks Danny. After a little more digging I found what I was looking for. The answer (for me) was in the white tag I semi-quoted earlier. I left of what turned out to be the important part. The 865PE should've read 865PE Neo2-PLS, where P seems to stand for Prescott, L for 10/100 LAN (F for Gigabit LAN), S for SATA, and the missing letter "R" for ... yes you guessed it... RAID. Oh, and the other letter is I for IEEE1394 (Firewire).
The board I need (and have now ordered) is the 865PE Neo2-PFISR
Again, thanks. Hope this helps someone else.

MSI 945GCM7-F RAID Function missing in BIOS

Hi every1, i just got my MSI 945GCM7-F last week, was trying to enable the RAID function in BIOS to use the Intel Matrix Storage Manager but the RAID function is missing in the BIOS.
According to the manual, to enable RAID in BIOS should be under
Integrated peripherals; On-Chip ATA devices; then RAID Mode
But my BIOS do not have the RAID Mode and AHCI Devices Group option, under On Chip ATA Devices only have On-Chip IDE controller and PCI IDE BusMaster.
i did try and flash my BIOS using th liveupdates but the BIOS still remaind the same. Kindy advice and thanks alot guys!
# Intel Pentium 4 550
# MSI 945GCM7-F
# 2x kingston 1GB DDR2 533)
# On board
# 2x Seagate 200gb/250 SATA
# Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition SP3)
And also can tell me more about Motherboard shorting the casing issue, i think i have this issue too, some time mobo just dun start up after cpu fan spin a while, i try to unscrew the screw abit and sometime works and sometime dun. Thanks alot again

the following drivers are availabe for this board in particular.
Intel ICH7R/ICH8R SATA RAID Driver (For floppy driver)
Intel IAA RAID Edition for ICH7R
that should then mean that this board has ICH7R and supports raid. please could you explain
Your conclusion is not quite correct as it ignores the fact that there are two premises:
Quote
Intel® ICH7/ICH7R Chipset
This piece of information mentions two different chipsets:
1. The Intel ICH7 Chipset
2. The Intel ICH7R Chipset
Now look at the following:
Quote
- Serial ATA RAID 0/1/0+1 for ICH7R.
- Integrated AHCI controller for ICH7R.
It tells you that only the ICH7R Chipset features SATA RAID and SATA AHCI Modes.
The board comes in two different variants (which differ only in the chipset used (ICH7 vs. ICH7R). Consequently, the the fact that MSI offers AHCI/RAID Drivers in the download section does not rule out the fact that the board variant you have could have an ICH7 Chipset which does not support AHCI or RAID Operation.
Please pay attention to the following sign which appears right next to the specs on the product page:
That said, let's look at this in more detail:
Quote
i had it before firmware upgrade.
Are you absolutely sure you are remembering it right? Are you sure that a BIOS Update changed this or is it possible that you are referring to your other board which could have been the ICH7R Variant?

and the previous board also had the option.
What BIOS Version did you use before the BIOS Update?
Which BIOS Version are you using now?
How was the BIOS Updated and why?
What is the serial number of your mainboard(s)?

K8T Neo-FIS2R - P20378 Sata Controller option missing in BIOS. Cannot disable

A few hairs left....& those are disappearing quickly.......!!!!
I currently have Windows XP PRo running under a Promise SATA Drive. (NO RAID REQUIRED)
In order to allow for a fallback situation (which I am still using swapping between WIN XP & Vista), I found a 20GB IDE Disk attached it to the standard IDE controller & did a clean install of VISTA ULTIMATE on the 20GB Drive...So Far so good.
Next I booted up changed the boot sequence to pickup the 20GB IDE drive first ...Vista Came up....Still so far so good.
Then I found my mouse ...& both USB printers were not recognised.....2 days later I have them all going okay....one problem at a time....
The only issue left ... I cannot see the SATA Drive attached to the promise controller.....I have tried following a few of suggested methods to load the promise drivers that are around......still no luck. Most of the posts I see are around installing VISTA on a SATA drive...my case is just seeing a SATA drive this not the O/S disk.
Moving on ...no luck with the Promise Drives ...so I have tried changing to the VIA Controller by unplugging the SATA cord from the Promise controller & plugging into the VIA Controller ... I boot up & still no luck...The BIOS picks up the VIA change as I see a option to use <TAB> to setup RAID during bootup.. I do not want RAID only a single SATA Drive. One of the things I read was to turn off Promise via the BIOS settings . The manual indicates I need to access this by going to the "Onboard PCI Controller option", here I should be able to turn off the P20378 S.ata Controller...
my problem is ...I can see only the Lan Controller as a option to disable/ enable the other options including the P20378 S.ata Controller.. are not visible.. hence I am unable to disable the Promise SATA Controller within the BIOS..... HELP pretty please..... I can happily run VISTA but I do not have 150GB visible to me & my current disk space is tight.....I need that 150GB ...........
signed...frustated NOOB
PS I have the most recent drivers/ bios etc according the MSI's Online S/W synch tool (which I run in XP Pro as the vista version fails.... DOH)
MB --> K8T NEO FISR2
Memory 1GB
Appreciate your help ..... TA

I agree with Hans, as far as we know there are no drivers for Vista to use the Promise controller, yet.
Same old, same old, Vista and no drivers.
You just have to wait and hope there wil be Vista drivers for the Promise controller.

RAID is not an option/not available/missing in BIOS Storage Options?? HP Envy 700-047c

Hello - I have an HP Envy 700-047c. It came with a 2 TB HD. I put in another 2 TB HD same model/type. The system in the BIOS and Windows 8 sees the new drive. However, when I boot and go into F10 BIOS/HP Setup utility, go to Storage menu, select Storage Options, my only option is SATA Emulation and the only 2 select options it shows are AHCI and IDE. This is where I should see RAID option - it is not there.
I tried changing SATA ports on the motherboard - no help.
I tried disabling Secure Boot and UEFI and chose Legacy - no help.
I updated to latest BIOS for this PC - no help.
I installed Intel Rapid Storage Technology software and can see the 2 drives within Windows but there is no create option on the Status page like there should be (because you need to enable RAID in the BIOS which the option is missing).
I looked on the motherboard and don't see any jumpers that are labeled RAID (ie. some physical trip).
I called Intel and they confirmed the Intel chipset I have is RAID capable but to contact HP to see if they turned off. I contacted HP and twice they said they are not trained in RAID and do not support it. I contacted the local Microcenter tech support and they found a link on this website talking about how to go to the area I'm in - but the RAID option is not there.
Does anyone know how to get RAID enabled on this HP 700-047c in the BIOS/Setup utility? Help!

UPDATE BY ORIGINAL POSTER TO BELOW - The below is not accurate about RAID being disabled on "All" HP home line computers per research from Big_Dave (Thanks!) - It is what I was told by the HP Escalation Team Friday however - not just my MB but all - which we are seeing is not correct per the customizable Envy model in the following post. It may just be certain models or just my current model's MB...?? I struck thru some of the detail, but leaving it mostly intact so others can see the misinformation I was given.
Thanks for passing along. Below is what I found out about how RAID is disabled by HP now.
I also had an email going back and forth with HP support and they sent to HP Escalation team who I ended up talking with yesterday who researched it for a day and found out that HP has disabled RAID on the motherboard for all of their home PC line! As we were thinking above. Only servers can do RAID now is the word. Hard to believe they'd do that. The rep said he believed it had to do with people calling HP when they lost data due to setting up using RAID 0 and thinking that protected them (all it does is make a big disk, no redundancy like RAID 1).
To me that is no reason to turn off a feature of the Intel chipset. They also don't make this clear to any HP employee as no one I've talked to (3 now along with chat and email) knew that HP is crippling the capabilities of the MB and chipset. I even have a several year old HP Pavilion that has RAID enabled on it under my desk and has saved me twice from disk failure (running RAID 1 mirroring).
I'm pretty disappointed with HP decision to do this and that it's poorly recorded (in fact not recorded at all) it so that I wasted hours upon days trying to figure it out with tech support people. If HP wants to remove a much needed service such as RAID it should be mandatory for them to disclaim that right in the Specfications sheet. RAID IS DISABLED AND CANNOT BE TURNED ON ON ANY HP HOME CONSUMER COMPUTER.
Note: I even called AMI (American Megatrend, Inc.) with HP on the line who said they sold the MB to HP fully capable of RAID which is what led the escalation rep to research to whomever he talked to and found out HP is disabling it out the door to their unaware consumers.
I also asked if HP tech team disabled it, would they be willing to send me a BIOS flash to re-enable it - ie. make that an option for those who are knowledgeable about RAID and can setup. The response was they probably won't. I pressed a little but didn't get anywhere - seems like a reasonable request to me/option to keep people happy.
Luckily I'm within my return window and will be taking this computer back. Sad considering how much time I've put into it thinking I had a computer capable to do what I need.
Anyway - please help spread the word so HP can get this into their knowledge DB and boards that RAID is GONE - removed purposefully by HP.

T420 BIOS - "Clear Security Chip" Option missing

Hello,
we got several T420 with different BIOS versions (from 1.30 to 1.40)
On 95% of them the "Clear Security Chip" Option is available @ BIOS
but on some of them the option is missing.
Is there an easy explanation for this mistery?
Best regards,

Solved!
Go to Solution.

The clear security chip option is only in BIOS after a cold boot.
It won't be there after a warm boot.
This is for security reasons.

No RAID option in Thinkpad W520 BIOS

There is no RAID option in my Thinkpad W520 BIOS
I only get the "ACHI" and "Compatibility" mode.
I intended to put two SSDs in RAID 0 and did not want to buy 2 mechanical HDDs.
It appears that you only get the "RAID" controller when you order the W520 with 2 mechanical HDDs and let Lenovo configure the RAID for you .
I may have to send my unit back. I am VERY disappointed that this was not made clear at the Point of Sale.
My UEFI BIOS Version 1.06 - BIOS Date 2011-03-02
W520 4270CTO i7-2820QM Quadro2000M 1920x1080 Display 16GB RAM 2x240GB Intel 510 SSDs (RAID 0) - BIOS 1.42 - PCMark7:4,568
Samsung Series 9 15-inch NP900X4C-A03US - PCMark7: 4674

I think the language has been changed. It now says; Internal RAID: not enabled or Internal RAID: configured by Lenovo.
When I ordered it said something more like Internal RAID: user configured or Internal RAID: preconfigured by Lenovo.
I do forget the exact wording, but the old wording pretty clearly indicated you had it but it was just not yet configured.
My actual order however says: Internal RAID not configured.

[915 Series] Why is there no RAID option?

Hi
mainboard is MS 7058 V1.0
type of mobo is 915p/g combo
it has full options, it has three IDE and four SATA connectors on board.
Bios was 1.4, and some time ago I updated to 1.7
it ran off a SATA 160 Gigabyte drive in enhanced IDE configuration
today, I pulled the drive, and fixed four identical 300 giga Sata drives because I want to run a striped mirrored RAID.
but... when I look at the available options, the BIOS setup screens do not ever show a RAID option at ALL.
I could connect an IDE drive, and see wether that will then allow me to install a RAID, but I really want to boot from RAID.
I also have an azalia question, but this can wait... the burning question right now is this..
kind regards, Jaak

Hi
hey, Thanks... Sorry if I be late to reply.
looks like default forum option is no not have email notification ON...
gonna look for this, if available.
F6 and driver on floppy, when I go for it and launch the setup on blanco SATA drives for a stipe/mirror without any PATA drives present at all, will that work?
I could still try this, even after I moved the mobo to a smaller case so as to get rid of it.
what I saw is that in BIOS, it does not show any of the raid options.
Is that floppy gonna install something in preboot, or in MBR of first active (if no option can be taken in BIOS, how so?)
r, or in EMBR of first active?
long time ago I did do some raid in real SCSI, and them things had an active bootrom in scsi raid setup, what is what I do not see...
now, maybe, MAYBE, one can set this up as a disttributed volume in windows, but will it do stripe/MIRROR?
I am skeptical.
yet... what have I got to lose, eh?
If ya really think a striped mirrored SATA RAID can be done n my mobo, I am willing to get me another (BIG/GER) case with an azalia front connector... and try it out.

915P Combo No Raid option please help

Hi everyone,
Recently I bought MSI 915P combo FR and 2 S-ATA HD and 1 ATA HD.
I want to use the two S-ATA HD as Raid but BIOS does not let me select the raid option under IDE/S-ATA configuration. I have tried to clear CMOS and use different BIOS version and checked all connection but nothing helps.
Any help, advice and suggestion is very welcomed
Thanks in advance

Hi Darkslayer,
It is written at least on the pack that it does support both SATA and IDE RAID and the chip is ICH6 and ICH6R ready.
I have follow the instruct mentioned but I do not see the RAID option anymore since updating the BIOS
BTW, maybe u should call up ur local MSI distributor and ask the what the ICH6R ready mean. I wish to know as well

RAID Option ROM utility unavailable.

The thing is that I cannot access the RAID Option ROM utility during bootup, just because I don't the see the "Press <Ctrl-F> to enter RAID Option ROM utility..." option at all.
I've recently updated the BIOS to 2.0 to install Windows 8. Don't know if that has something to do. As I said, I don't see the "Press <Ctrl-F> to enter RAID Option ROM utility" option at all. The RAID 0 I installed Windows 8 on was setup before updating BIOS to 2.0. As per MSI statement, once the BIOS was updated to 2.0 it cannot be downgraded.
What I want to do is to add a 3rd. disk to my RAID 0 array to expand the capacity. I tried to do it under RAIDXpert utility under Windows, but I don't see any options to add a new device to the existing RAID 0.
Do any of you know if there's another key secuense (but Ctrl + F as the user guide states) to enter the RAID Option ROM utility during bootup?. Any help will really be apreciaed. Thank you very much!.

1 x Seagate ST3320413AS (Seagate)
RAID 0 (JBOD) composed by the Western Digital + the Maxtor. The Seagate is the one I want to add to the RAID 0

try >>Clear CMOS Guide<< with power cord removed, if no change, it appear to be bios bug, if the same worked fine with older version.

No raid option during boot up

there is no option for me to access my raid options, during the boot up there should be a option but there is not one, system specs.

There are two responses to your previous post. See your previous thread.
One response is as follows:
No options for RAID in the BIOS. RAID is managed via external BIOS; in my case, you access this by hitting CONTROL-F on startup. This works for the promise BIOS, but you also have the option of using the ICHR5 and it will have a different BIOS. See the supplementary manuals which came with the computer.
Also, in the integrated peripherals section of the BIOS, enable the SATA. I suspect you have to enable the SATA drives for both the Promise Controller and the ICHR5. Note also if you ever plan to boot off the RAID drive, you'll have to set this up in the "Advanced BIOS Features" section of the BIOS.
Good luck.
Scott
Also, please ensure the RAID drivers are installed! These come on one of your system disks with the motherboard. These install separate BIOS' configuration utilities which manage the RAID options.

Yes it can boot from USB CDROM but there are a few caveats to watch for. On the W520, a USB CDROM fails to load any recovery system that uses WindowsPE. The only way around this is to use an optical drive attached to the eSATA port.
Your premise is incorrect.. A USB CD-ROM will boot properly using either of the USB 2.0 ports on the W520. The eSata/USB 2.0 port on the USB will be used in USB 2.0 by the device. The W520 USB 3.0 ports need a driver that is not supported by WPE and not enabled properly in the BIOS.
The W530 has native USB 3.0 support and will support booting the system in WPE. I believe that the original system concerned the W530.

RAID is missing in Media Browser

RAID is missing from the Media Browser. I can see the RAID icon (AM VIDEO) in the bin but can see it in the file directory. Double clicking on the icon doesn't open the RAID. My work around is to place an alias of a directory needed from the RAID on the desktop.
RAID is an OWC Mercury Rack Pro and it's visible and fully functional in the finder. Problem occurs in CC and CC14
Mac Pro 5,1, 10.9.3

I've just had it happen too. A brand new OWC RAID 1 drive (less than a week old) has suddenly, under Pr 2014, lost the ability to see this drive. When it arrived I formatted it with Apple's Disk Utility. Adobe Premiere has been working fine until this version. Now Premiere cannot see this drive in media browser, while the Finder can, and DU reports no problems, and neither does Disk Warrier. The drive seems fine. But Adobe can't see it.
Given the variety of people discussing this, here and on other boards, I'm thinking that there is a bug with Media Browser. I now have to *reformat* my drive, which means hours of moving files off to another drive and back on. If this is a bug, we need to know what's happening! I will be *very* unwilling to upgrade to the next version of Adobe software given this situation!

Why no RAID options for new disks?

Hi support group,
"My name is Shaun, and I am a mac-aholic"
I inserted 4 new 3TB disks into the bays of my Mac Pro (2012), and there is no RAID option for them.
How I got here:
Inserted the WD Red drives, and they were not initiated.
I "erased" the drives, gave them names, and they appear in Disk Utility in grey drives.
Went to set up the RAID, and move the drives into the RAID, but got an error that they could not be used.
It appears to me that disk utility is not allowing me to fully use those drives. I Have created RAID drives before with no issue in RAID1 with 3TB drives before on this machine. Am perplexed, I thought this to be the easy and simple part of my upgrade odyssey! Did I screw up the initialization? On all FOUR drives?
Now, if I click on the drives, the RAID option does not present itself.
FWIW, I am using OS X 10.9.5, on Mac Pro 5,1. I boot from PCIe card. My end goal is to create a 4-disk RAID 10 using the four SATA connections on the MP.

It was really pretty simple based on your feedback, I powered down, removed the drives from the SATA backplane, moved each drive separately to the USB enclosure, then re-"erased" in OSX-Etended. I ejected each drive when finished, and moved to the next one until all four were re-"erased". Then I restarted the Mac with all four in the SATA connections, and all four were visible and had the RAID option tab. I created the three RAID schemes (two stripe and one mirror), and dragged the drives into the RAID option. Then I hit "create" or some other command to finish the RAID.
Note that I did get an error on the RAID creation. From memory, this was "cannot create RAID without an unmounted disk" or something like that. I cleared the error, and then opened back up Disk Utility. All the RAIDs were listed, and were operational with the green "On" signal. I could read/write/transfer from the RAID. Once I transfer the data to this RAID, I will work on a way to test it, but if any risk to the data, I might just leave well enough alone.
For now, it seems I have a fully functional RAID 1+0 using the four HDD on the SATA connections in my Mac Pro 5,1.

Acrobat 9 Std - Comments- 'Enable for Commenting And Analysis In Reader' option Missing

Hi,
We've purchased a copy of Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard, and need to enable comments in Reader for PDFs that we create in Acrobat. The option to "Enable For Commenting And Analysis In Reader" seems to be missing from the "comments" menu, even though all the videos/tutorials insist it's there.
I haven't found any threads about this yet, and searched google for the missing option + "missing" along with other things. Nothing related came up.
Any ideas on what we could try? Or why this is happening?
Thanks!

I don't think Standard has this option. Acrobat Pro does.
