RAID problems with ICH5R controller
I am trying to reconfigure (after my ATA133 RAID0 broke) my Neo FIS2R board with the following:
1 x SATA150 Disk on SER1 (Raid-ready configuration)
Optical Drives (DVD Pri Master, CD Pri Slave) on Primary IDE
Backup IDE drive (ATA133) on Secondary IDE.
I have checked the excellent sticky on RAID setup by vango44 and appear to have everything correct for the 'Raid Ready' arrangement, booting from the SATA disk and with both PATA channels enabled.
During POST, all the devices are reported (if you spot them flying past). Windows XP installed successfully onto the SATA drive (PATA drive disconnected at this point) and boots normally. But once booted, nothing on the Primary IDE channel appears in Windows. (I've tried swapping the Optical and PATA drives and its always the Primary channel missing).
In Windows Device Manager I have no problem devices. Both the Primary and Secondary IDE channels appear under IDE and ATAPI controllers (as does the Intel 82801EB). But any devices connected on Pri IDE are missing.
Any ideas?
thanks folks,
Keith
The SATA is 'Native' as opposed to 'Legacy' - I think that is the setting you are referring to?
I could quite happily throw this **** motherboard out the window. I have always found it unbelievably temperamental and awkward to configure.
I just had it booting quite happily from the SATA drive on the Intel controller (albeit with the Primary IDE devices missing), and I just discovered that I could access my two ATA133 drives by attaching them to the Promise Controller with the latter set as S-ATA.
As soon as I do that, the system will not boot. If I disable the Promise controller or disconnect the ATA133 drives the system boots off the SATA drive as before. WHY???
Lessons learnt:
1) Be more disciplined about backup
2) Avoid Maxtor drives. (I have run our office network of 10 PC's for over a decade and had two hard drive failures: both in the last 2 years and both Maxtor)
3) Ditto MSI motherboards. I think they try to do too much for too little.
thanks for trying to help anyway.

I have the following setup and problem:
K7N2G ILSR
NEC DVD-+RW 1300A
Seagate SATA 120gb HD
350W PSU with "210" 3.3 + 5.0
BIOS V 1.4
2 x Hynix 256mb DDR 333
I was able to setup the SATA drive as a single RAID drive and install XP pro.
Now, 9/10 times, the system will not boot. I receive a
"No drive attached to fasttrak controller"
message.
When the system DOES boot, it works great, and I can leave in on for days with NO problems.
I know the Hynix memory is not "approved", but since the system is stable (when it does boot), and assume its not a memory problem.
The problem still occurs even after:
I changes the SATA cable (data and power)
I changed the DVD cable and slot (1-3)
I even disconneced the DVD and / or Floppy.
No change
Help!!!!!I have already tried two different types of Ram. 512 MB DDR 333 (I don't know the timing exactly but it's a CL2.5 Ram) and another one from a different manufacturer. Also DDR 333 CL 2.5. Then I combined both. But the raid controller didn't show any reaction and I can't imagine that the problem is the power supply because everything else works fine. Anyway... I will try to get a new K7NG2-ILSR on guarantee, sell my whole computer and buy the new K7N2-Delta because I have only problems with the K7N2G-ILSR.

Problems with Ethernet controller and PCI device driver on Satellite L30-10X
Hellow!
Sorry for my bad English, I'm from Russia.
Just few days ago I bought Satellite L30-10X with W Vista on board. My opinion, that this OS does't very good on this computer, so I install W XP.
I have some problems with drivers. At first, I dont know what model I have:PSL30 or PSL33? I download all drivers for both models. But, after installation, computer doen't find drivers for Ethernet controller and PCI device...Hi
Satellite L30-10X belongs to the PSL33E series. This number can be found on the label placed on the bottom of the unit!
You have to choose this number from the driver download form to get the compatible XP drivers.
I dont know why you are not able to install the LAN driver. Ive got the same notebook with Vista and Ive installed the XP and all drivers run fine.
I assume you have installed the drivers in wrong order. Please take the look in the Toshiba installation instruction txt file. In this order you have to install the driver! Its important.
I think you should install the XP again to ensure the clean registry and then download and install the compatible XP drivers like mentioned in the installation instruction file.
Good luck -
6147 problem with AGP controller
I have loaded W2000 onto a packard bell club 70 which has a MSI-6147 motherboard.
Device manager is reporting a problem with the PCI to AGP controller, error 12, not enough resources.
Have tried a number of forums for help (Microsoft, Packard Bell) and have been advised to update bios. I believe my current bios is V2.0, dated 08/30/1999, and cannot find a newer one available.
Any advice on bios would help. Any advice on AGP controller problem would make my xmas.
ThanksI've checked the PB site and they have a number of bios listed for club range but none match what my m/c is telling me, which is
08/30/1999;440BX-W977-2A69KM4EC-00
Award Modular Bios v4.51PG
W6147P2 v2.0 083099
Looking on the link you left me the latest bios listed is v1.8.
Would you also recommend a bios upgrade as the likely solution to my problem or are there other known problems with W2000 on this M'board?
Thanks -
Boot from Raid-hdd with a controller card installed?
Hi,
I have a problem. I've just intalled a Windows 2000 my HDD3 (IDE-raid) and everthing went well. I've put the 1st boot option to SCSI and it boots normal. But when I add a hdd to my controller card (Promise Ultra100) it doesn't boot the raid, instead, it tries to boot from the hdd on the controller-card. I've just got this card, and had a KT3-Ultra ARU before. There I could change between "Ultra-0, Ultra-1, Raid-0 and Raid-1 etc. etc." in the bios, where Ultra stands is the Controller card and Raid in the onboard raid. So, why can't I do this on this, newer card? Any1 know how to work around it or how to fix it?
This is what I have:
IDE1:
Master: Western 180GB
Slaev: Maxtor 250GB
IDE2:
Master: NEC 1300A
Slave: Lite-on-it 40125W
IDE3 (Raid):
Master: Maxtor 80GB
Slave: Maxtor 80GB
Controller card IDE4:
Master: Western 250GB
Slave: Western 250GB
Controller card IDE5:
Master: Western 200GB
Slave: Seagate 30Gb
Controller card = Promise Ultra100
And yes, I have the modded version of the bios couse I wanted to have a real raid on my IDE-drives. How can it even be raid if it's only one drive? But that doesn't really matter, couse the boot-options are the same as before.Hi, I did as u said and bought a new controller card (Titan Electronics Inc. Ultra ATA/133 IDE). But it didn't help, it's the same as with the older Promise card.
This is what happenes:
When I add a hdd to the controller card it finds the hdd and such. Everything works normal untill the os-boot-process begins. Because there is only one alternative called "SCSI" in the bios, where u chose where to boot from it thinks it should boot from the controller card (cause it is a kind of SCSI-card). But I want it to boot from the raided-drivers on the onboard raid (whitch also is a kind of SCSI-card). The thing is that it mixes them up, and only tries to boot from the controller card i've installed, and ignores the raided-drivers. When I had my Kt3 Ultra-aru I could chose between booting from:
IDE0
IDE1
IDE2
IDE3
CDRom
Raid0
Raid1
(this options only showed up when I had my Promise ULTRA controller installed on it)
ULTRA0
ULTRA1
ULTRA2
ULTRA3
But with this, newer and more expensive card, I can only chose SCSI in the boot sequnce.
Any idea how to fix that? Maybe to mail to the MSI so they fast can added that choice to the BIOS in an update?
Would be thankfull for any help possible -

MS 694D Pro - problem with ata100 controller
Hi,
I bought a new hard drive (Ibm 60GB, 7200rpm), and have a serious problem. This new drive is intended to be a system drive ( master ) and off course I plugged it in the ata 100 /raid controller (on board promise fast trak 100) . I've installed msi promise driver from the floppy ( the only one that worked ), and set up win xp .
The problem is that now I have blue screens every time I try to read/write to hard drive ( the other words every 2 minutes) X(
I think it is a controller issue, because when I plug the drive into the primary ide channel, everything works fine ( but much slower ).
Any help would be much appreciated ....
Dare
config:
MSI 6321 - 694DPro ver 1.0
Intel PIII 866 MHz (single)
512 MB RAM
IBM 60GB 7200rpm
MSI GeForce 4 MX440http://www.msi.com.tw/program/products/mainboard/mbd/pro_mbd_detail.php?UID=83&MODEL=MS-6321
reading bios link the intergrated raid bios has been updated several times,3.4 and 3.6 both mention it
you must all ways use the raid driver that relates to the bios
any raid bios upgrade means updating the driver -
i have an entity controller below.
i also have a jsp page. and an entity class called officer.
on the jsp, i have a link for creating a new officer which basically executes
the method createSetup() below and loads the new jsp for entering the new officer details. on this new jsp i have a link that actually persists the offficer and basically it calls the method create below. if you check at the method create
its is supposed to do some validation. if any ofthe fields is empty, it should not
persist the officer. but it still does even if all fields are empty. what is wrong with my code. flow control or?

This is fixed in R11 release.
You could try making a sublass and implement serializable in the subclass.

Serious RAID problems with 10.10.1 update!
Immediately after updating, I've noticed great system instability and my RAID hard drive didn't show almost all files (only the folders, but they were empty). It showed some of the bigger movie files. After restart it worked for few hours and then again the problem appeared. The disks are in RAID0 2x3TB WD blacks and they are less than 6 months old. I don't believe the problem may be hardware related, because everything was working perfectly until I updated to 10.10.1. I've made the usual repair permissions and disks in recovery, as well as reset PRAM.
Is there anyone else experiencing this?My iMac crashed trying to do the update and all I get is a grey screen. This is discouraging. Model MC813LL/A activated November of 2011.

I am having some issues with my new MB. K9N2G Neo with Nividia 8200 chipset. Trying to setup and use a RAID mirror. The setup of the RAID is good and the mirror is recognized, formats and accepts data. However I can't figure out how I would recover after a failure. I removed power from one sata drive to simulate a failed drive. The system warns me and the data is still available but when I plug in the "failed" drive I still get warnings and the Rebuld in the RAID bios does nothing. The Nvidia storage utility doesn't have a "rebuild" or "Synchronize" option like the manual says it should. HELP!
Sure, as when you plug your drive again it sees it as fixed, no need to rebuild.
If you add an empty drive it should offer you the function.
I do no know about the utility, this is normal something you do in the BIOS unless you have a third drive already added as spare. -
RAM/RAID Problems With K7N2G-ILSR
I recently got this mobo, and have found some little things that dont seem to work:
I have 2 Crucial 512mb PC-2700 sticks that dont want to work. I can use one in either dual/single channels fine, but anytime I add another stick, the blue screen of death likes to appear.
I have as well two 120gb Maxtor DiamondMax Plus 9 hdd that do not seem to detect on my RAID array (only 1 detects for some reason).
According to what I read, the RAM and RAID should work fine... just curious whether not my mobo is faulty or not, thanks.Quote

I know that windows must be recognizing the raid drives because I could continue installation but only if I use the 32 bit drivers and corresponding os version.
