X58 plat RAID 1 data drive setup blue screens vista x64

Hey all,
Trying to set up a RAID1 data array (NOT my OS drive). However, when I try to boot into windows, it blue screens.
I've tried doing nothing but plugging the drives in (to the Intel SATA slots) and turning on RAID in BIOS, but it still BSOD's on me.
Specs are in my sig... halp!

And you really need to have a floppy disk to integrate the drivers during setup, even in this day and age where the floppy is... well, just about gone?
For Windows XP you have to either use a floppy disk or integrate the RAID Drivers into a custom made Install CD (with tools like NLite or XP ISO Builder).
Vista Setup can load the driver from any kind of medium (best to use an USB Flash Drive). As an alternative, it would be possible to use tools like VLITE to slipstream the drivers into a custom install CD.

what a drag! Seriously, there's no way to turn on RAID after you've installed the OS??
If the generic Vista drivers were any better, this should actually work. However, as you can see, Vista and its generic drivers are not doing a very good job when it comes to self-adjustion to the new controlller operating mode (RAID).
Maybe a Vista Repair Installation after switching to RAID Mode can help you here. You can try, but it won't necessarely help.
This is a Windows problem rather than a board/BIOS/Chipset issue.

S10 RAID configuration = AHCI = Blue Screen under Vista x64

I'm trying to setup a SATA RAID 1 configuration on my new S10 and it's really a nightmare...if I enable the Raid option in the BIOS it enables also the AHCI feature and my Vista x64 (pre-installed on the S10) don't boot, it just show me a blue screen that I don't even have the time to read. If I disable the AHCI option it's ok I can't boot again.
The question is simple, how can I achieve to install an updated AHCI driver for Vista x64 in order to boot and then use the RAID features of my S10 ?
I've tried do download the latest version of the IMSM from Intel (x64 vista version) but it does'nt want to install saying that I haven't the required configuration. My S10 uses an ICH 9 chipset, so I don't understant why I can't install this update.
Please what is the solution to have AHCI and RAID working on an S10 WITHOUT REINSTALLING Vista (I don't have any installation CD and don't wan't to) ???? Note that my system is up to date regarding the ThinkVantage drivers (and windows updates also)
Thanks by advance for your help
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I finally achieve to configure AHCI under Vista x64 on my S10 (but still a problem with RAID..), here's how I did :
- Open registry, go to the Key \HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\msahci
- Set the DWORD "Start" at 0 (it was 4 on my system)
- Restart your computer then Enable immediatly the AHCI feature in the BIOS
- Vista will start without BSOD using it's default SATA AHCI driver. Let it detect & install your AHCI periphals before going to the next step
- Install the latest Lenovo IMSM update for S10 from here : http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/MIGR-69984.html.
- Restart the computer it should boot without any blue screen, go to the Vista device manager and check that your IDE ATA/ATAPI controller is "Intel(R) ICH9 SATA AHCI Controller".
AHCI is active now, but RAID still doesn't work...here's what I did :
- I backup my main HDD with R&R (after having installed AHCI)
- I restart and enable the SATA RAID in the BIOS
- Restart again, CTRL+I to open IMSM and create my RAID 1 array (2x500GB) under the name "Volume0" (all parameters to default)
- Ok, raid array created, I now boot from my R&R emergency CD and restore my backup
- 3 hours later I reboot...and blue screen again just when Vista starts (seems to be the same BSOD than with AHCI)
- if I disable the RAID option in BIOS the (but let AHCI enabled) Vista boots again and everything seems fine, and it seems that my raid array is still configured for Windows since I see a Volume0 drive in the device manager. But RAID is disabled in the BIOS so what ?
I am lost, I spent 2 full days on these AHCI/RAID problems and nothing seems to work correctly. Each test on RAID configuration needs 3 hours of restoration. I am very dissapointed to see how RAID is complicated to configure on the S10, it's is exactly to avoid this kind of problem that I bought a "workstation" and it's a nightmare.
Hope you can help me, thanks.

R61 driver issues/ blue screen

Hello all:
I have a 2008 R61 (7733) Serial (L3-G5721). I got this computer through my college at the time, and over a 2 year span I had 4 or 5 HDD replaced through the Lenovo service program on campus. Now I recently replaced my HDD 2 times so far since leaving my school in 2010, none were for bad HDD's like previously. I had Issues with Lenovo/Windows drivers. Now on my 3rd an WD black. What I would like to know is my HDD or Motherboard is having driver issues?!? How can I fix this?!? Is their a program that can diagnose what driver is causing my blue screens and also keeping me from booting up the laptop past the extended boot screen?!? Love that laptop so much runs like a tank besides the HDD problem it's very solid any help is appriciated.
Sincerely:
Christopher Patti

Hi,
Do not rely solely on System Update to maintain your computer. It frequently is weeks, months and even years out of date. Some updates never get to System Update at all. In addition, the driver matrix does not contain all patches and updates. Because you don’t have a preload, it is possible that you are missing some critical updates, which may not be in the Driver Matrix, and I am not sure if they are available using System Update. I suggest that you verify if the following updates are installed on your computer.

Satellte L40 - After XP Setup blue screen Error

Hi,
I browsed this forum and the net and I did not find an answer, so:
I'm downgrading from Vista to Win XP on Satellte L40 (PSL48E), I created new WinXP SP2 with nLite with the AHCI drivers,
looked ok win xp setup recognized the HDD so i deleted the vista partition I created new NTFS partition Setup copied the files
and when it restarted for the first time:
I got blue screen error STOP 0x0000007E which suggest it may be BIOS incompatibilty, a post in this forum had resolved by using XP SP2, but I'm already using Install CD with XP SP2.
Now, BIOS for the model PSL48E comes only for windows flashing. and I have no Windows on my system.
Even if I reinstall vista again and flash it with XP compatible bios I'm afraid I might loose vista compatibiliy (if XP dosn't work after all)
and it will render my system useless.
Help please.

Here you will find a manual on how to install XP on an L40
Regards
JBJ

Satellite A60: ATI graphics driver issue - blue screen error

Hello,
I have a Sattelite A60, and I have had it for a year, and now suddenly, I have frequent crashes. The Blue Screen of Death tells me that it is caused by a driver not working properly, namely an ATI driver.

I deinstalled the display drivers and for a short while it seemed to work. However, the blue screen of death did not reappear, but now my laptop suddenly switches itself off: immediate powerdown. Also, I have had the driver failing to work properly: this resulted in the screen resolution suddenly resetting itself to safe mode. De blue screen I got before mentioned that the fault lay in ati2dvag.dll - the windows error analysis screen that appeared after my reboot told me that the problem with this dll again caused the problem. This was before and after the reinstall of the Toshiba drivers.
Going to try and reinstall them again now. See if it works this time.

Macbook will not boot. Locked hard drive. Blue screen when booting

Hi, my little brother decided he wanted a few files off of my mac book, so he went to settings>sharing>file sharing and added my only hard drive to the list and tried removing everyone but his name and password thinking it would only effect people trying to log into my hard drive, not actually me on my computer alone trying to boot mac osx from it.
He came crying to me telling me he paniced because he saw a locked icon on my hard drive and couldn't do anything, so tried to restart the macbook and now i just get a blue screen and nothing happens when i try booting it.
Right now i'm thinking i gotta archive and reinstall from booting the osx disk, but i'm affraid it'll just apply the same settings again and keep me locked out. I need files off of my hard drive since i'm in school and have several assignments that i have not backed up at all.
Any help would be greatly appreciated

after searching the forums deeper i found the solution. it's now working. you may delete this thread.

Is the latest iMac compatible with external raid 1 drive setups?

I'm considering different new Mac options to replace my first gen Mac Pro. The new and most outfitted iMac seems like a good solution for my mostly Photoshop work. But, is the new iMac compaticle with Thunderbolt external RAID multi drive enclosures?

Sure, why not contact OWC (www.macsales.com) where they sell RAID solutions for Macs. Because they specialize in Macs they test every product they sell.

Blue Screens, Vista 32-Bit. IRQL Not Less or Equ

Hi, before I begin, I'd like to thank anyone who can help for any assistance provided. This is my first system build and I've been running Vista for less than an hour (And it took about 0 installation attempts to do this), so forgive me for my lack of knowledge in this category. Basically whenever I try to install the drivers, I get a blue screen error that says IRQL Not Less or Equal. My system is as follows:
Creative X-Fi Fatalty Sound Card (The one with the front bezel and remote)
ASUS P5N-E SLI nForce 650i Chipset Motherboard
Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 2.4GHz, Overclocked to 3.0GHz with Zalman CNPS9700 LED.
2GB Corsair XMS2 DDR2-800 RAM, Overclocked to 870MHz.
eVGA 8800GTS 320MB Graphics Card, Overclocked to 65 Core, 900 Memory
Seagate Barracuda 7200.0 320GB 7200 RPM SATA Hard Dri've
Samsung Write Master 8X DVD-RAM Lightscribe SATA Dri've
Basically, as I glimpsed through the posts I saw someone saying their 8800GTS conflicted with the X-Fi in Vista, so that's likely my problem.
Any time I installed the drivers, the blue screen happened before setup appeared to finish. Vista wouldn't boot after that and I had to use system restore from my Install DVD. I've tried undoing my overclocks but it does nothing... I doubted it would make any difference anyway though. I have no clue what to do to fix this, but if there is a possible way, it would help if it was a step-by-step thing because I'm unfamiliar with Vista, driver modification, or whatever else this will require.
Thanks again in advance for any assistance you can provide. I do appreciate it very much and am excited to get the card working again so I can resume gaming.
- Beau

Ok, by disabling my sound on my motherboard, I successfully got past this error. But now I noticed that it's interfering with my Logitech keyboard and mouse set. Basically what happened is that they stopped working and the driver install never finished (It appeared as if that program froze in action), while my mouse and keyboard were rendered useless. I restarted and did a system restore and installed the drivers for my logitech set, but now it's saying that I have not restarted since installing drivers when I attempt to install the creative drivers, despite restarting several times. Any ideas anyone?
Thanks again.
- Beau
Edit: After reading some of the other posts in this board, I would like to add that I understand that asking for X-Fi help on Vista is like asking for help in New Orleans after being in Hurricane Katrina, but I really would appreciate assistance to help getting things working.Message Edited by Supercoolyo on 07--200706:49 PM

T43p ATI Video Driver gives blue screen

Hi,
I have been having issues with the video driver for the ATI graphics card for Thinkpad T43p despite downloading the latest driver available on the Lenovo at:
http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=MIGR-61503
The driver file “ati2dvag” crashes my Windows XP operating system. Would you kindly direct me to the driver to resolve this issue or let me know if I need to change some settings? My graphics card is “ATI MOBILITY FIREGL V3200”
Thank you,
Nitin

Welcome to the forum!
My experience has been that this type of issue arising on a T4x/R5x series machine with ATi GPU usually points to a failing graphics card.
This is the driver I use on my own T43p:

Usbscan.sys driver causes Blue Screen of Death

I'm trying to set up an HP 8100 printer on my Windows XP desktop. While installing the HP software from the CD, I got to the section where I connected the USB cable, then a message said the driver was installed successfully, the I got a bsod naming usbscan.sys as the culprit.
This has happened twice more after reboots.
Any ideas on how I can correct this issue? Specifically, how to I remove this driver and how do I get the printer to work without it?
Thanks...
John

Hello j9lemmon,
I saw your post and would like to help, is it the Laserjet 8100 that your asking about? what is the product number for that printer? This information will help me to answer your question more accurately.

Hey, I recommend backing up all your files manually via USB hardrive and then format your mac's hardrive, here's a link for instructions on how to format your mac's hdd: http://computers.tutsplus.com/tutorials/how-to-format-your-macs-hard-drive--mac- 53986
Also I recommend downloading the latest Mac OS X via the app store. The reason why I've recommended to back up all your files and programs manually and install a clean and new os is because when you put your data on manually, you significantly reduce the chances of the problem happening again and it looks like you have something inside your os that's slowing everything down. You'll also have the latest updates and support if you download the latest mac os x. You should also back up your Mac via time machine as well so you have a image of your OS. I recommend installing a SSD drive inside your MacBook as they make a huge difference in performance, your computer will preform almost instantly, it only takes 7 seconds for your mac to boot into the os and everything else you do is pretty much instantly. They can be a little expensive but they're coming down in price and they're with it! http://www.amazon.co.uk/Crucial-CT480M500SSD1-2-5-inch-480GB-Internal/dp/B00BQ8R HJ2
I've had the same problem before and I hope that helps.
Good luck

W700 Win7 x64 blue screen after screen replacement

Hopefully somebody has a solution for this issue. Recently I sent my W700 in for a screen replacement and when I received it back, I installed my HD (Win7 x64 Ultimate) and the system would blue screen.
I tried all the different start up options and all failed with a blue screen
The blue screen goes away so fast I cannot see what it is telling me
Sometimes as it is attemption to boot I will see a screen that states "The boot selection failed because a required device is inaccessible"
I attempted a repair and see the following (the repair fails)
Windows Boot Mgr
ID 9DEA862C-5CDD-4E70-ACC1-F32B344D4795
Startup option will be added
Name: Win Recovery Env (Recovered)
Path: Recovery\103c3ec-e604-11de-a4f7-8c999d1797b9\Winre.wim
Windows Device: Partition-E476835 MB)
A copy of the current boot configuration data will be saved as D:\Boot\BCD.Backup.0001
I click Repair & Restart, the system blue screens when it boots
In that I was using my "production disk" I switched to the previous Win7 x64 Ultimate drive I had in the system - same failure and results with this drive as well
I then switched to the Vista drive that was in the system when I received it 0 same failure and results with this drive as well
I then installed a new 500GB drive and started a new build - this worked but I'm having trouble getting Outlook x32 2010 to work with my previous Outlook.pst file
I've restored the MBR and the 100MB partition on one of my Win7 drives using the MBR and 100MB partition from the new working drive - still I get the blue screen.
I need one of two solutions (as I see it)
Get my production Win7 x64 drive working (this is the drive that blue screens)
Get the new HD with the new Win7 build working with Outlook.
I've talked to the support center they don't know what is going on but offered to ship the W700 back and look at it. If they could not resolve the issue they would reimage the HD. This is not an acceptable solution. I already know that if I rebuild the HD it will work.

Blue screens when playing games

hello people
I bought not long ago the msi K8T Neo-FIS2R
It worked great and i got good benchmarkresults.
But when i installed battlefield 1942 and played it , it would give me a blue screen wich says: he would dump his memory.
i installed the latest via drivers and nvidia detonators. (lifeupdate)
now when i play halflife (counterstrike) thers seems to be no problem at all.
i know halflife is a lightweight game and battlefield is not, so more heavier load wil make my windows crash.
Reading almost every thread on this forum i can say i found my solution for the problem.
I read here that you recommend a pcu of at least: 12V > 20 ampere
but mine is only 16 ampere on 12V
I have 4 case fans> a WD raptor > dvd player, burner . etc. >>>> i think i will buy a new psu.
now i have another problem.
when i install the newest via drivers and i install the via 2.0/3.0 agp driver > i have this very strange problem.
when i install the nvidia drivers , the installation is ok > i look with the drivers , and there are none installed. > not even nvidia logo in the left corner (next clock)
>> what driver i want to install, it doesnt mather. >windows wont use it.
when i install the via drivers without de agp driver>>> i do not have any problems.
any suggestions?
(ps sorry for grammar mistakes > i am dutch

hello people
(geertje > dark half)
now i've installed windows xp 64
after some driver problems i've managed to create a very solid and stable system.
AND when i install the via 4-1 drivers from via my problems seems to be solved.
NOW after the install of the agp driver > i do not have any problems installing the nvidia graphic drivers.
strange isn't it.
in win xp (32 bit) i cannot install the latest via AGP 2.0/3.0 driver.
but with windows xp 64 i can without problems.
there are no blue screens anymore.
tyresmoke: you have advised me to buy a better psu. (i didnt buy one yet).
But the problem lies with the agp driver from via.
when i install this one and reboot> it always gives a blue screen> without the via driver > no blue screens (only blue screen with battlefield 1942 or vietnam)
there is something with my agp slot or hypertransport??
anyone suggestions?
ps . > ive tried mem test 86 for 16 hours and found NO PROBLEMS
ive run prin 95 and toast for 12 hours> no problems

Win7 64-bit + 8GB + PCI X-Fi Xtreme Gamer = Blue Screen

7Win7 64-bit + 8GB + PCI X-Fi Xtreme Gamer = Blue Screen WTF? can't creative write drivers for 2st century systems?
I cannot get this config to work under any circumstance ....tried every conceivable driver (Auzen, Dan K's, CL) ... all it does is install the driver, then blue screen after the driver installs?with?a ?'the device cannot locate any free resources - Code 2" ...
This is an error from a?pre-bus mastering PCI era?e.g. 998.
I?trapped the minidump exception from the BS and looked at it in WinDbg ... faulting module was?a CL .sys file.
XP works fine, as does a CL ExtremeAudio (non X-Fi) card with Win7 64-bit and 8GB.
So apparantly the hardware is useless as creative cannot write a driver ....
nice

I have a similar config to you, except I have the Fatalty version of the X-Fi with the front bay. I get page faults caused by the Creative driver

CS4 Blue Screen Crash on opening

The program opens normally and after 3-5 seconds I get a blue screen crash. Just before the crash, photoshop displays a message about a problem with the display driver and GPU. I am unable to read the entire message before the system crashes. I re-installed the video driver and CS4 but the problem persists.
This is a recent phenomena (two days ago). The program operated normally with the current OS/software/hardware configuration for over a year.
Windows 7, SP1 (64-bit)
Intel Core2 Q9550 @ 2.83gzh, 8gb RAM
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 550 Ti video card (updated driver)

A blue screen means that you have defective hardware, or a low level driver bug.
Applications cannot cause a bluescreen by themselves.
This could be caused by the driver, or it could be that your GPU is going bad.
Did you update the driver from NVidia's website?
