What RAID drivers do I use

Hello,
In my infinate wisdow I scrambled the brains of my unit :rolleyes_anim:and now must start from scratch. I cannot find the floppy disk that came with my logic board and want to know what drivers do I use to set up my RAID0 during the initial process. My board is a K8N Neo2 platinum (7025)
Thanks in advance

What RAID Setup do you use for your Macbook Pro Scratch Drive?

Is there any benefit to using an Express-ESata Raid Enclosure vs a single esata drive as the scratch drive?
If so, is there any benefit to using a 4 drive Raid 0 vs a 2 drive raid 0?
What Raid setups are any of you all using with your MacBook Pro's? Is there a significant performance difference between using a E-Sata drive and a FW800 drive. Is RAID the right way to go?
Sorry I'm not making a lot of sense right now, but I've searched through 20 or so pages of the forum and didn't see that anyone had addressed this question yet.

OK, just to give you a frame of reference, I just performed the following tests -
I hooked up my Sony AVCHD camera to my Mac Book Pro 2.4 ghz with 4 GB ram - (pretty close configuration to yours) - and imported a 26 second clip into FCP 7 with the following drive configurations:
Capture to internal Mac Drive, no externals: 26 Second clip takes 44 seconds
Capture to external WD USB2 drive: 26 Second clip takes 44 Seconds
Capture to external CalDigit 2 Sata Drive Array, Raid 0, via Firewire 800: 26 Second clip takes 42 seconds
OK, so now I move the camera over to my Mac Pro 8-Core, 2 x 3.2 Ghz Quad Core Xeon with 14 gigs of ram, and capture *to the same external CalDigit 2 Sata Drive Array,* Raid 0, via Firewire 800: 26 Second clip takes 11 seconds
My conclusion would be the drives and drive throughput is not as consequential as the CPU horsepower in doing the conversion from AVCHD to Pro Res. However, there are many very knowledgeable people who look at these threads, and I would be interested to hear what they have to say.
Hope this helps.

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

Thanks for the help, the problem was a bad floppy ribbon cable , the raid is loaded.
nice, well you should check floppy integrity 1st to make sure its working correctly.

[915 Series] What Raid

I am a little confused as to what raid i am to use on the 915PNEO2. There seems to be two options Via6410 or the intel 82801, is one better than the other , why is there two options when surely one is that is needed , why the extra confusion for setting up your computer

The Intel ICH6R controller can be used for raid with the SATA drives connected to SER1 through SER4.
The Via controller can be used for raid with PATA drives connected to IDE2 and IDE3.

Using Latest SATA Raid Drivers When Installing Windows XP?

Getting my raid 0 setup on my K8N Neo4/SLI board wasn't as easy as it should have been. I ran into a few problem with my raid drivers that came with my system. While I was trying to install Windows XP, the system refused to restart itself even after the installation was done. A push of the reset button was necessary to help continue the install. Only after I installed the latest nForce 4 Forceware drivers was everything working the way it was supposed to. Since I would like to avoid this trouble the next time I decide to set up raid, how would I go about creating a floppy disk that contains the latest raid drivers to use for a Windows install? Thanks!

Download the manualhere. Then refer to from page 6-2, you will know how to configurate the raid.
My friend has the same mainboard as yours, so I just refer him for the information you need.

P35 neo2-fr & raid drivers at initial install of xp pro

I have a neo2-fr mobo and when I go to install xp pro with a raid setup I get a blue screen of death after initial setup files are loaded b/c the raid drivers and sata drivers will not install at setup, it will load the drivers at the F6 screen of install the os but not at the install of the setup files for win xp pro. Can anyone help me on this, it is not my floppy or floppy drive, i have made 10 different floppies and tried 6 different floppy drives. it will not load the intel drivers at the setup screen of the install..
thanks for all replies

If you can't get XP to install by using a floppy disk to load controller drivers, download NLite and integrate the drivers into a custon install CD. That way you do not need a floppy disk. If you decide to do that, use the driver package I attached to my first reply in this thread.

K8N Neo4-F (PCB 3.0); RAID drivers refuse to install = Me going crazy

Alright first off, this is my first post. :D Hello MSI forums!
I have put this issue on a couple sites so far, and no one has provided anything close to help, so I'm hoping people here will be more knowledgeable.
The steps I take:
1. I am doing a fresh and full install of Windows XP Media 2005. I have made a RAID0 out of two IDE (not SATA) drives. I have set it to boot.
2. Upon loading Windows Install, I press F6 at the appropriate time, and everything is smooth with loading the two (2) drivers needed.
3. Windows finished loading and get to the screen where you see the list of your drives. I take a look and everything is normal. It sees my RAID0, and it is the size it should be.
4. I select it, do a quick format of it. It does this and continues.
5. Now here is the problem; Immediately after step #4, like it should, it access the floppy to load everything it needs for XP. Except it wont load anything. It damned refuses to load anything at all. It doesnt even try to really access the floppy! Meaning the floppy itself doesn't give a read error, it simply gives me a screen telling me "cannot be read" when it didnt even try and read the floppy.
I hope Im explaining this well, some people think that perhaps the floppy is damages or something. I assure you it aint the floppy or the drive. I have used several different disks, I have tested each one to make sure they work and there are no errors whatsoever. The issue is literally Windows Install for whatever reason is refusing to take the files off the floppy, thus I have to 'skip' them all, yet remember, the initial two (2) drivers loaded perfectly fine without fuss in Step #2. ???
I have been at this for two (2) days now. I have used the nVidia RAID drivers as well as the RAID drivers provided by MSI on their site for my motherboard. But I do noth think that makes a difference, because even if I had teh wrong drivers on the floppy, Windows wont load them to even find that out.
My Mobo is an nForce4 ... 7125-60.
Anyone have any idea? I DID get the drivers to load properly with an old Win XP Pro CD, but I want Media edition, and there seems to be no logical reason why the Media instal would simply refuse the files on the floppy while they were accessed without trouble just fine (in the same day same floppy) by XP Pro. :(
Any help is appreciated!

Quote from: Bigglesw0rth on 16-December-07, 09:48:28
The system stats are irrelevant. The mobo is in the subject. 7125-60 is the exact model.
Windows install (the whole XP line) only needs two files in the initial phase of install (after F6). This is simply so the installer itself can see the RAID. After that (directly after the format if you choose to format) and right before the install starts loading all the files it needs before the first restart, it will access teh floppy to get the rest of what it needs for XP itself to be able to see the RAID. That is what is not happening.
In Xp Pro (non Media Center Edition), the second access of the floppy after the format goes though perfectly fine. In Media Center Edition it tried to access teh floppy, then simply refuses to load the files off teh floppy.
Its pissing me off at this point. Right now my theory is that some sort of asinine protection Microsoft "protection" (possibly driver sig) is blocking the drivers from loading, and XP MCE is loading its own non-working retarded drivers.
Ive tried slipstreaming and it didnt work the first time. I dont have vmware to test it on and I dont want to screw up too many DVDs, and simply using XP Pro is not a solution, its a 'i give up' stage.
Hi,
A couple of thoughts:
1) When you load the initial driver floppy (F6), does it give you a choice of which drivers to load? Typically, when I've had to do the F6 thing, there'd be multiple sets of drivers, and I'd get a menu and have to select the correct one. If so, was there a menu item specifically for XP Media Edition (or whatever it's called)?
2) Are you by any chance using a USB floppy drive? There's a reference here to an MS KB article (916916) about compatible USB floppies:
http://groups.google.com/group/comp.sys.intel/msg/df7b2411c347566f
but, I searched the MS KB, and couldn't find that article.

Which SATA drivers do you use for nForce3 chipset?

Windows Generic or the ones that come with the nForce3 drivers?
When using the nForce drivers, my hard drive operates louder and the light appears to be flickering a lot more (indicating more hdd access) when compared to the Windows XP drivers.
Which do you use? What should I be using? I remember reading some threads that said nForce SATA drivers suck... but that was months ago.
Thanks for any info
(Please note that I am NOT, I repeat, NOT talking about RAID, just standard serial ATA)

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 .

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.

64-bit RAID drivers problem on Qosmio F30 during WinXP installation

I am trying to install Windows XP 64-bit on my Qosmio F30-140, so I used Windows Vista 64-bit RAID drivers. The windows setup loaded the drivers successfully from USB-FDD, but after I choose C: partition to install the windows and the setup started I got the following message " Setup cannot copy the file: KR10N64.sys ".
Please advise .

download the driver again and try to put it on another clean formated floppy disk
put all the files on the root of the floppy disk
and try to reply to this message ;)

WinXP Pro 64, any nForce3 SATA/RAID drivers?

Im looking to install Windows XP pro 64 bit and notice the only drivers that are missing in the download section is the Raid drivers for Nforce3.
Do i install the regular XP ones or does 64bit have them on disk already? http://www.msi.com.tw/program/support/download/dld/spt_dld_detail.php?UID=572&kind=1

Quote from: Supershanks on 15-August-05, 19:39:15
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?

What Systems are the Pros Using for Premier, After Effects, and SpeedGrade?

I bought the full Creative Cloud in hopes of making a career for myself in audio/visual editing. The problem is, my system doesn't seem to be able to handle the software, particularly when changing back and forth between the three programs mentioned above. Beyond that, my first project failed to export properly. Moreover, all throughout its development the system lagged badly. And this is after having followed all the preferences recommendations available in the Adobe's tutorials and elsewhere on the Web.
Here's my system:
SYX-P67A-C43: Intel Core i7 2600 (an 8-core unit) at 3.4GHz, with 8 Gigs of RAM (soon to be 16) with a GTX 550 NVidia Card, 1Gig of RAM.
As you can see, this is far in excess of what Adobe claims to be the minimum system requirements. It's obviously NOT.
What systems are the Pros using (like the guys in the tutorials) for Premier, After Effects, and SpeedGrade? Give me the exact machines with all the specs so I can price one up.

...although a little " old" now.....the fundamentals of your machine are still OK to get started IF you : 1. INCREASE your system memory to the full 32 GB....should make a BIG difference in performance.....8 GB is NOT enough, it will HINDER performance. 2. OVERCLOCK your CPU !!!.....many owners of your CPU have been safely running at 4.5 Ghz or HIGHER...some at 4.8 Ghz !!! This OC will make a DRAMATIC improvement as CPU speed is a huge factor in performance. 3. Improve your video card to a new NVidia 970 with 4 GB of video memory. 4. Check and MAKE SURE the power supply in your machine is ADEQUATE to handle everything, esp. if you overclock the CPU....generally 850 to 1,000 watts of a quality make is good. 5. Use a fast storage system...that means a SATA III SSD as your "C" drive, ( boot drive), being a Crucial M550 series,( or, M600 series), OR, a Samsung 850 Pro series SSD, ( more expensive). Other SSDs are NOT recommended, only these two makes are recommended for technical reasons. On this "C" drive, you should have Operating system, Programs, and Windows page file ONLY !! Your "D" drive can be ANOTHER single SSD to be used as a "cache drive" for all the previews, media cache, and cache files that Premier Pro creates PLUS, it can ALSO serve as the "Global Performance cache" used in After Effects. All your media and project files can go on your "E" drive. HERE you would have LIMITED OPTIONS because your motherboard only has TWO SATA III ports, ( which would already be used b the "C" and "D" SSDs). You NOW have only 4 SATA II ports left ......you COULD RAID 0 four 1 TB HDDs off these ports and have a 4TB backup drive connected to one of your TWO USB 3 external ports.....any DVD or Blue-ray can ALSO go on an external port.
However, if you are into spending REAL MONEY !!!.....Go Haswell E and X99 all the way !!...THAT will give you great performance !!

What webcams are G25 users using?

Hello,
I'm having the same audio compression (chipmunk sound) issue as one of the other users, when I use the 'QuickCam for Notebooks Pro'. I tried using another camera and it worked fine, but it would not clip on to the thick screen of my G25.
Can any of you let me know what kind of cameras your using successfully on the G25?
Thanks, Bill.

I'm having the same sound problem with my f20 with a quick cam pro 5000. I've found that uninstalling the camera mic resolves the sound issue! but you then have to plug in the supplied headset mic. Logitech suggested a clean installation of the camera software and re-loading the sound card drivers which I did to no avail.next stop Logitech support hotline.
