ATI AHCI Compatible RAID Driver
Oct 22, 2009
I'm trying to install the Windows 7 32-Bit upgrade on my Dell Inspiron 1721 laptop and I get an error that says that I need to update my ATI AHCI Compatible RAID Driver. I went into the Update Device Drivers as suggested in the instructions and tried to upgrade that driver, but it says I have the latest driver for it. So I tried restarting my laptop and ran the upgrade setup again, and got the same error message.
Any ideas on what I need to do to get it to upgrade? I tried searching all over and can not find a newer version than what I have (2.5.1540.48).

I have a W7 64 bit machine and I am trying to update the RAID controller driver without success.I am blocked by W7 from updating the driver and get the "Windows has determined that the best driver is already installed" message.I have tried to work around that and have been unsuccessful.Ultimately I am trying to enable a program "Hard Disk Sentinel" to view and display hard disk SMART info. Unfortunately the RAID driver controlling the HDD's on my PC have a date signature of 2009 and need to be updated to take advantage of SMART information technology

I am trying to upgrade from Windows Vista 32 bit to Windows 7 32 bit but when booting from the upgrade disk it has problems finding my HDD's and says that windows cannot be installed on them once found.
When choosing a clean install from loading the disk from within Vista it starts to install and then when it restarts it brings up a blue screen saying that windows cannot be installed and is I have installed any new HDD's or controllers then on uninstall them.
When trying to upgrade at first it was complaining about the ATI ACHI Compatable RAID controller not being compatable but now it starts to do the install and then on restart it does the same as the clean install.

anyways, my main drive is a RAID 0 with Vista x64, but I have a second HD that is a SATA 250GB, which I installed Windows 7 on. The only way I could get install to work was to switch my BIOS to IDE mode rather than RAID. I would of course though, like to be able to access my Vista drive from Windows 7 (and more importantly, not have to switch between IDE/RAID mode at all in the BIOS, it's a pain).
Now, the one odd this about this all is that the drivers I have for Vista (x86/x64 drivers) for this mobo's RAID controller WORK when loaded on installation to identify and install to the drive, but seem to not load or not work in any way once the first reboot on install occurs. Maybe this is because I installed from within Vista x64, though.
(Incedentally, my motherboard is an M3A Asus, using ATI's SB600 for a RAID controller)
I've tried loading the drivers from within Windows 7 while in IDE mode, but the install program won't let me. At first it didn't allow because of version restrictions, but then I altered the ini file to get around that, but it encounters some sort of error when installing and quits.
Any help that can be offered, would be grateful. I realise it's a beta and not a real release, so I can get past the BSOD from my odd setup, and I really am enjoying playing around with it so far. Very very impressed.
Edit: Just in case anyone thinks of suggesting me to right-click the inf file and install that way, already tried, won't allow for it.

I have an Asus Rampage IV Extreme Motherboard and have Windows 7 Installed on a 96gb kingston ssd.
I now bought 2x 256gb Samsung 830s and want to run them in raid. If I set my RAID in bios, I cannot boot into my kingston ssd, it blue screens. If I set it to AHCI I cannot run my ssds in Raid.
I can do a fresh install on the ssds but how do I move my programs and data over? BTW.. I have Norton Ghost 15 which was provided with the Sammy 830s...

I recently upgraded to an SSD. I moved windows 7 over to the new SSD and re-aligned the partition properly The drive setup is as follows:
2x 500GB WD Black drives in RAID 0
1x 120GB ADATA S510 SSD
In BIOS, RAID mode is enabled. You cannot enable RAID for one pair of drives and AHCI separately. I was assuming disks that are not part of the logical RAID volumes would be set to AHCI automatically. I have enabled NCQ in AMD RaidExpert for the SSD.WEI is 5.9 for the primary disk. The primary disk is the SSD.Other strange behanivour is that the RAID array and the SSD both appear as SCSI devices in device manager, and Windows won't accept the ahci drivers from ECS.

I just changed my disk setup from:
1 SATA HDD Primary OS Disk
2x SATA HDD Backup Disks in RAID 1
TO:
1 SATA SSD Primary OS Disk
1 SATA HDD Backup Disk
[No RAID]
Everything worked great, no problem. So, since I don't have a RAID array anymore, I decided that I could change my BIOS setting to AHCI instead of RAID. I have a Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3R v1.0 mobo.
These are my steps:Settings > Integrated Peripherals > "SATA RAID/AHCI Mode" = RAID
--> Changed this setting to AHCI Reboot Windows Start screen shows up, but as the color orbs are spinning into focus, BSOD and immediate restart Repeated reboot several times, same outcome
Next Step:Launch BIOS settings Integrated Peripherals > "Onboard SATA/IDE Ctrl Mode" = RAID
--> Changed this setting to AHCI Reboot Windows Start screen shows up, but as the color orbs are spinning into focus, BSOD and immediate restart Repeated reboot several times, same outcome
Switch both settings back to RAID, reboot, and Windows starts up just fine, no issues.
What am I missing? Why can't I set it to AHCI mode without BSODs?

Very little, all the parts were shipped here about four days ago and I spent a couple of hours putting them together. I ran into a hiccup when Windows 7 Home Premium would not get past the extracting phase of the installation, kicking up the error in this thread. I began the first install on a 20GB partition, when that failed I tried just installing it on a single partition. When that failed I tried removing all the partitions and just installing on the unformatted drive, in it's entirety (seemed weird but others said they had luck with this).Testing Methodology:
At the end of each attempted solution I tried to install Windows again.My keyboard is a USB keyboard. All of my boot testing is done with a bootable USB that I have running MS-DOS 6.22. What I Have Tried:Solution 1: First I went into the bios and changed the SATA controller from AHCI to Raid SATA Result = FAILEDSolution 2: I tried burning OEM Windows disk from Microsoft to an iso at the lowest speed possible for my DVD burner (4x).Result = FAILEDSolution 3: At this point I had created and deleted so many partitions I was concerned it may be having an effect on the install. So I went to Samsung's website and grabbed their HDD utility tool. I figured let's kill two birds with one stone and test the drive while also restoring it to it's original state. So I did a low level format and then ran the HDD diagnostic. All came back with no errors. Result = FAILED
On to memory...Solution 4: I downloaded Microsoft's Memory Diagnostic Tool and let it run overnight. It returned no errors. So I decided to use MemTest86 4.1 and let it run for 10 passes, I did find errors then. As of now I am running each module of memory one by one to determine if it is a problem with them or the sockets on the motherboard. So far I have been unable to reproduce the errors I got when both modules were running together. As a precaution I double checked the motherboards specifications on the socket order for memory, all is to specs. Result = [PENDING]What's Next:After my current memory test ends, I plan on checking my BIOS to see if the correct memory speeds were detected in the auto detection. If at that point I'm still unable to reproduce the memory errors, I'll put both memory modules back into the system and run the testing again to see if I can reproduce the errors I got the first time.

Installed a new M4 ssd today and loaded windows on it. Previously i was using 2 raptors in raid 0 for the os and programs. I re raided the 2 raptors and connected them to the jmicron ports and set them up for raid in bios, then created the raid 0 array no prob. Windows doesnt see the array when loaded up and i have the latest rst drivers installed..did this prior to the os install on the ssd. using the x58 e760a1 mobo. under device manager, the raid controller has an exclamation mark and no driver installed yet i have the latest rst 10.8.0.1003 installed..

I have the GA-EX58-Extreme Board and have just installed the pre release of Windows 7 7600 64 bit. Normally i have experience to get the BSOD when in staling with AHCI active in bios so i change to IDE mode. Installation went flawless and also the change to AHCI mode on Intel ICH10R controler went normal.
As always i got problem to change the J micron controller to AHCI and of cause i got the BSOD again. I installed the latest R1.17.48.16 driver and tryed again but no luck. Can some tell me what i am doing wrong. ? I have a hardisk and a dvd drive attached to the J micron Sata connection.

I recently swapped out my motherboard for a Gigabyte GA-970A-UD3. I was trying to overclock my CPU and after a crash and CMOS reset I was no longer able to complete WEI. This was fixed by reinstalling the BIOS firmware but when I ran WEI again, I was now getting a 5.9 score for my SSD (OCZ Agility) when it was previously 7.2.
Now I can no longer get Windows to use the AHCI driver (neither MS nor AMD) for the drive. I am running in AHCI mode but the driver being used for the SSD is a generic "disk drive" (disk.sys and partmgr.sys). When I try to update this driver, it tells me I am using the latest one; it also does not let me manually select the AHCI driver.
After multiple attempts at switching back and forth between IDE and AHCI in the BIOS, uninstalling and reinstalling AMD AHCI drivers, nothing changes. Still the same 5.9 WEI score and generic driver.

I have been reading for days and don't understand this. When I get a system built using all SATA drives...is the best setting in the bios AHCI?
I know the RAID setting requires drivers and IDE does not but how about AHCI?
Should I even use this setting? Does it require drivers or does Windows 7 have "generic" ones?

I have recently installed a Crucial M4 256 GB SSD in an Acer Aspire 5742 laptop as a replacement for it's aging HDD. This was followed by a clean install of Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit on the new drive.
So my next step is to ensure that the system has all of the appropriate and up to date drivers installed. Most of the relevant information I found on the Acer website:
[URL]
I am familiar with most of the device drivers listed here and don't expect to have any trouble tracking down the best versions currently available but I am not sure about the "Intel SATA AHCI" driver in particular. It has been my understanding that to enable TRIM on an SSD dedicated as the system drive you just have to set SATA mode in BIOS to AHCI and windows will take care of the drivers during install of the OS.
So my question is will I see any benefit in installing the latest Intel AHCI driver (ver 11.6.0.1030) over the MS one originally installed with Windows?
Alternatively is it a better idea to leave the configuration as it is (working pretty well) and avoid potential software conflicts?

I had one hard drive failed(640gb). I bought replacement and tried to restore image but it failed. Then I wanted to convert to non raid system. I changed both drives(640gb) to non raid and bios change in advance setup. I am getting error when I try to reinstall win 7, "setup was unable to create a new system partition or locate an existing system partition. See the setup log files for more information". I have deleted old partition many times but win 7 setup on this dell xps435 desktop won't install windows.

I have tried to find the way to do this, but without success as I cannot see the wood for the trees.
I have a mature Windows 7 system, with so many applications loaded that rebuilding from scratch is just not an option. I have a 300MB Velociraptor wholly given over to the OS and another empty 300MB VR. I want to extend, that may not be the right word, my OS to use both disks in Raid 0.

I've recently bought ST-Lab A142 PCI ATA 133 IDE Card to make RAID to make RAID from my 2 HDD drives 60GB each.
It comes with a cd on which there are drivers for win 2000/xp/vista 32/64bit. But no mention of Windows 7. I am trying to install Windows 7 x64 on this RAID but it doesn't see RAID. I've tried downloading the lates drivers from ST-Lab official site but with no success, Windows 7 just doesn't want to install them. Is there any solution u can advice?

I had to move the hard drive that I installed W7rc on to a SATA port that is configured in the BIOS as a raid. Now it will not startup because it needs the raid driver installed.
How can I install that driver?
I have tried "Startup repair" and it tells me it can not fix the problem. I tried to do an upgrade and you all know what it said. Must boot into that os first then do the upgrade.

I have been trying to install Windows 7 x64 Ultimate on a Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3 (rev 2.0)
and everytime i do the install fails and the install is then rolled back.
I currently have Vista x32 installed on Gigabyte Raid 0 (there's also an intel raid option but i've never used it). The Vista install runs fine and i've never had a problem.
When i try to install using the GA-P35-DS3 (rev 2.0) raid drivers from the Gigabytes site i get the usual microsoft grumbles about unsigned drivers but then the install seems to go OK from there until the install completes and reboots. At this point it errors out and reboots into the OS rollback install.
Does anyone know if this is an issue with this driver or does anyone have a link to another driver?

I was recently deploying Windows 7 on an older PC(not too old) and in the upgrade proccess it said setup could not continue and rolled back my upgrade. I suspect that it is because of the raid, because it stopped in the middle of the expanding files stage.
The driver version on there is 1.0.0.62, which I believe is the most recent for vista, so can I rule this out as a reason. Theres 50GB free for upgrade.

I have a PC with ULi M1575/M1697 chipset, was wondering if anyone has found a raid driver that works in 7 or if 7 has it built in.
I know nvidia bought them out a long time ago and realize this is probably not going to work.

I am doing a clean install of Win 7 Ultimate 64bit. I have a Gigabyte GA-MA790FX-UD5P Motherboard and a LG GGW-h20L Blu ray writer. I can install Windows 7 fine on a single SATA disk setup with the bios settings set to IDE. But when I set the bios settings to RAID and plug the 2 hard disks in and run the windows setup it asks for the CDDVD rom driver. It does not do this when setting it up on a single disk. I have tried the AHCI option, SATA, option, IDE options
I have the latest bios and have tried locating the drivers for the LG writer but was unable to find them. The LG writer already has the latest firmware installed.
My motherboard has a SB750 chipset RAID controller.

Recently I got a newly Windows 7 Ultimate Edition from my friend. Like my old Vista X64, I ran the normal setup for Windows set the boot piority to DVD-Drive and the usual bla bla bla stuff...
I've installed countless times of Vista on my PC without any problem, but Windows 7 is currently pissing me off.
When I got the Windows 7 DVD from my friend I instantly went to ASUS site for some drivers for my RAID setup (for some reason it wasn't list in the download section for this motherboard), like my Vista installation, I've put the files in the thumb drive. When Windows asked me for the drivers, I've just put the thing in to my PC and BAM!! Windows doesn't see my drivers
So I've done some research and tried out different drivers, but none of them worked.
After countless hours of trial and error, I finally given up the "clean" installation of Windows 7. So I've tried the "upgrade" method in Vista instade. The process was easy, a few clicks (and miracally it detects my RAID 0 too). The installation went real smooth, after the PC reboots itself and the shiny Windows logo was on the screen with the message "Starting Windows". WHOOOF!! BSOD saying 0x0007b error. I've tried installing it again using "upgrade" option, but the result was the same.
PS. Just to remind you there are two question
1. Why doesn't Windows detect my drivers
2. Why is showing this "0x0007b" BSOD all the time

I am converting my 2.66 GHz Core II Duo machine from Windows XP Pro to Windows 7 Ultimate. When I loaded XP, during the installation process, Windows asked me to load RAID software from a floppy disk to enable the RAID and SATA ports on my Intel DQ965GF motherboard. Will Windows 7 need the same software loaded, or will it be able to access the SATA ports and/or have the RAID software driver built into the operating system? I have the latest driver/software update from Intel for the motherboard, but have not installed anything yet.
