Installing Win 7 On RAID 0 Asus P6T SE

Dec 26, 2009

I have an Asus P6T SE Motherboard with 6gb RAM, Core I7 etc and 3 x Samsung 1.5tb disks. Purchased specifically for RAID config. I wish to RAID 0 2 of the disks and then use the third to back up data.

I initially set up the rig with RAID 5, it was a disaster for me (using the built in Intel sotrage manager) as I had a slight error and it was still rebuilding the array some 3 days later so I decided to cut my losses and go to RAID 0.

The problem I now have is that despite Windows 7 seeming to install correctly, when it comes to the reboot section (just before 'completing installation) the machine cannot find a bootable device!!! I am removing the USB key at this stage to stop it from starting all over again.

it reports 'reboot and select proper device, or select boot media etc'

I have already tried

- Destroying and rebuilding the array with different sizes in case Windows 7 struggles with large boot partitions

- Resetting BIOS to defaults

Even reverting to an IDE set up and this still wont boot!

Can you help guys, I cant see how the PC could have been corrupted at a pre OS level that would stop the disks from working as I have configured. But nothing would surprise me.

ASUS P6T Deluxe Not Using RAID

Sep 2, 2010

I bought a PC with a ASUS P6T Deluxe motherboard a month or so ago and installed Windows 7 Ultimate to a SATA drive.When the machine boots up it goes through the process of initialising the onboard RAID controller then looking for drives to boot from RAID - of which there aren't any.Also in Device Manager I have a RAID controller showing under Other Devices as 'not installed'.Can I disable RAID in the BIOS to speed up booting as I don't need it at present (or do I???)?

RAID Installation Problems ASUS MB And Etc.

Nov 28, 2009

I have a computer I built using an ASUS MB A8N-SLI Premium card. This card is a was purchased in 2007 and is one having two RAID chipsets. The first is a NVIDA and the second is a Silicon Image. The OS was XP Professional.

When I set up to install Windows 7 Professional Upgrade, I found that a) there were no ASUS drivers for Windows 7 and the "generic" Nvida and SII Raid drivers would not work with this ASUS card. So, says I, lets try and see if the VISTA drivers will be accepted by Windows 7... Nope.. Win 7 error says "can't find any drivers compatible with your hardware". OK.. So..

I have to buy a completely new motherboard.. I chose the Gigabyte MA790GPT-UD3H with AMD Phenom II Quad-Core 3ghz CPU. The M B is excellent with dual output video for two CRTs, and all the I/O I needed including IEEE1394 port for my FlexRadio.. But I get ahead of myself! So.. Let the buyer of Windows 7 be aware that he should check his MB and insure that Windows 7 drivers are available for his particular model. Otherwise, upgrading to Windows 7 can be more expensive than you planned!

RAID With Asus M4A78-EM AMD 780g

Nov 21, 2009

Just bought Asus M4A78-EM AMD780 with AMD Phenom X4 9750.

I am using TSD 500AAKS Western Digital Caviar 500GB and a WD2500JB IDE

Ultra 2048DD2 8Gb Memory and Cyberlink Optical Drive

Am unable to create a RAID with the Optical Drive in slot 1 and the WD500GB in slot 2. sometimes the machine fines the disk drive, sometimes it does not, it never fines the WD500GB.

I was able to install windows7-64 on the IDE disk but the program does not boot - did not restart when it finished installing.

Anybody has an idea?

The latest problem I am getting the message Secondary Master ATAPI incompatible. Going crazy with this, so far as i know the disk drive worked perfectly until now. Where can the problem reside?

Asus M3A / ATI SB600 / ATI Chipset RAID Drivers 64-bit

Dec 30, 2009

This is my first post but after searching the internet trying to find RAID drivers to work with 64-bit Windows 7 when using an Asus M3A motherboard, or another model using the ATI SB600 RAID driver, I have discovered a lot of people are having an issue and are having to use IDE emulation mode.

I was lucky to stumble across this post on the AMD forums with a working driver:
AMD Game Forums - SB600 RAID driver for Windows 7

If this driver ever gets removed I will keep a copy, please send me a message on this forum and I'll email it to you, it works!

Several people have suggested downloading combinations of drivers or forcing the use of older ones, but this one does work straight away, no hassle.

How To Setup RAID 0 With An Asus CG5290 BP007 ?

Sep 1, 2009

How to setup RAID 0 with an Asus CG5290-BP007?

I bought an Asus Desktop CG5290-BP007 at best buy, when I opened it says RAMPAGE II GENE/CG5290/DP MB

Asus CG5290
motherboard: Rampage II Gene Micro Atx
Processor: Intel I7 920 (2.66 Ghz)
Ram: 9GB
HD: Seagate 1TB 7200 RPM
Windows Vista Home Premium 64

If you want to see the link here it is: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=9366642&type=product&id=1218092150864

I removed the Seagate and I put 2 WD Velociraptors 300 GB each and 10,000 RPM, I have a concern, one it is on the port 1 and the other velociraptor is on port 3.

Does it affect in order to make appear the RAID option in the bios? Because it does not appear, it just appears these options: IDE and AHCI. How come it does not appear RAID in the bios options?

What am I doing wrong? Or what do I have to do in order to setup in the bios as RAID?

I don’t know if this link below it is exactly my motherboard, it seems that my desktop came a little bit different than this motherboard or they designed specially just for best buy, I am not sure about it.

http://usa.asus.com/product.aspx?P_ID=6i86Hj0lGriFHfY9

I took several pictures to show you what appears when I turn on the computer and when press <Del> to enter in the bios and when I just turn on the computer and I don’t do anything.

I went to Asus website and I downloaded the manual for Rampage II Gene Motherboard, I was reading it and It says that Intel Matrix Storage Manager option Rom utility will appear when I press CTRL + I , I tried it several times and nothing happens, is that option working in my Asus Desktop CG5290-BP007 ?

Please help me what to do, I would like to install Windows 7, my hard disks are not formatted I think so, because I just installed them and I am not able to see RAID in the bios options, Please tell what steps to follow in order to setup RAID 0 in this computer.

ASUS M4A89GTD Raid 0 Windows 7 Install Restart

Sep 26, 2011

So I just recently decided to do a RAID 0 configuration on my ASUS M4A89GTD with two 1 tb drives. I first set the Raid controller to the raid 0 setting and added my two drives. The raid manager reported back the raid 0 drive was healthy and working fine.

I proceeded to go through with a fresh windows 7, 64-bit install. The install goes fine but when the computer boots up to load windows 7, it hits a blue screen and instantly restarts. Over and over again.

I think I tracked down the issue to a rogue registry entry. Apparently there is an entry called iaStorV that causes the drivers.sys file to not load the drivers correctly, causing a blue screen error.

Things ive tried: Using ubuntu off a cd. Didn't work because the chntpw doesn't know how to mount a raid 0 drive Regedit bootloading programs, dont work because they dont know how to deal with a raid drive Regedit in the system restore command prompt. Doesn't work because it's version doesn't match windows 7

Dec 21, 2012

I have a Asus Xonar DG audio device, but no sound. No sound at all. When I go to my device manager, yellow exclamation points are on my Asus Xonar and on RAID controller. Asus says driver is current. AMD High Def audio device is not disabled, should it be? If I disable it would I have sound? I have to listen to 4 hrs of video for work so I have to have sound back up asap.

Adding Raid AFTER Installing OS?

Apr 12, 2012

I have a machine with windows 7x64 installed on an SSD in AHCI. MB is MSI FXA990-GD80 with AMD raid controller. I don't think there are two different controllers like some MBs. I have decided to add a RAID 5 array (I am not interested in discussing the validity of RAID 5 or that I need to us a different form of backup). I'm using RAID 5 and booting to the SSD.When I enable RAID, Windows bluescreens on startup. I tried running the windows startup repair utility and adding the AHCI driver from AMD which then detected the drive/windows installation and attempted to repair something, but it seems to have done nothing.I then thought I read I could set the mode to RAID-UEFI and boot to the SSD and configure the raid in windows, but the only thing it boots to then is the UEFI shell. Do I need to configure a boot device there?

Installing SSD On An Existing RAID System?

Dec 9, 2010

I'm currently using Windows 7 Professional and have 4 internal HD's set up in RAID. Current Setup: 2 - 500GB drives in RAID 0 2 - 500GB drives in RAID 1

I use the RAID 1 drives for backup purposes only. I have 3 partitions on Raid 0, named as follows: A:,B:,C: I have the OS (Windows 7) installed on C: partition and use the other two partitions on RAID 0 for data. Future Setup: I have just bought the Intel X-25 120GB SSD and would like to do a clean OS install on the SSD and still keep my RAID 0 and RAID 1 setup for other data.

Here's my question: 1. How can I install the OS on SSD without disrupting any data on the RAID 0 and RAID 1 HD's?

I would like to be able to install the OS on SSD and still have access to the data on my previous C: drive on RAID 0 (including the OS data). I want to delete the OS data on the RAID 0 HD from within Windows(on SDD) if that makes. Will that be possible?

I'm afraid of losing my RAID drives/data. I have read that I should unplug the RAID drives before I install Windows on SDD and then re-plug them again. Is there a particular order I should do that in? Will the BIOS recognize the old set up if I unplug/re-plug the old drives? way to install Windows on the single SSD without losing the existing RAID 0 & RAID 1 setup and data.

Installing Win 7 RC On A RAID Drive Array

Aug 1, 2009

I'm trying to install Windows 7 64-bit on my brand new custom PC, using a RAID0 drive array. I already set the array in the BIOS, and the BIOS sees it. All shall be going to plan...

Nope.

The beginning of the install goes fine, I accept the Terms and all that good stuff, it's loading files, yadadada.. but when it gets to the part where it's asking me where Windows 7 is asking me what drive it should be on, nothing is there. It asks for drivers (my SB750 RAID drivers) so it can find the drives, I put in my USB flash drive with the RAID drivers (I tried both from disk and website), it tells me that no new devices could be found.

I don't think it's a problem with my physical computer, So it's either that I messed something up in the BIOS or Windows 7 is being picky on it's RAID arrays.

RAID 5 Array Lost Assignment While Installing PS3 Media Server / Java

Aug 5, 2011

I had a successful raid 5 array setup. It was assigned to g and while I was installing ps3 media server and then java it lost it's drive assignment. It shows up under disk management but asks me to initialize it. I really don't want to do that because it will format and i will lose the data on the volume. What else can i do to get my array to show up in windows with my data intact?

Installing SSD In Asus Laptop?

Jun 20, 2012

I recently bought an Asus N55SL laptop. It came pre-installed with Win 7 Home Premium on a 750GB drive.I bought a 120GB SSD, and would like to replace the HDD with it. The HDD came with a recovery partition on it, When I started the laptop for the first time, I made Asus recovery disks that can be used to restore the laptop to factory conditions. However, when i try to use those to recover to the SSD, it appears to work, but when it's "setting up windows for first time use" it goes into a rebooting loop. I'm assuming that the disk image made by the recovery program on the 750gb HDD can't be applied to the 120gb SSD. I've read that SSds work better with fresh installs of Windows anyway.So, how can I install windows on my SSD using the Win 7 product key that came with my laptop? I tried installing another copy of Win7 Home Premium that I had, but the license key wouldn't work for it. I called Asus support but they didn't give me any useful info.

On the Asus website driver support only goes to vista, and I have read that the vista x64 drivers are not supported for Windows 7. how to install Windows 7 on this machine? I get into installation and it asks for a CD/DVD drive device driver is needed to carry on etc. I am just wondering if that is a driver for the DVD ROM or another device on the mobo.

BSOD Installing 64-bit: Asus M3N78-EM

Apr 14, 2009

I'm building a new pc with a Asus M3N78-EM mb and AMD Phenom 9600. I tried installing Windows 7 Ultimate (Bld 7000) 64 bit and was getting the BSOD around the point of expanding files during the install. I tried a couple times, same results. I then updated to the latest bios for the mb and tried installing again. The install goes much further, during the part of "completing install" i get the BSOD.

I tried 3 more times, everytime BSOD around the same part of the install. Can someone tell me if this is a mb bios issue, a bad cpu issue or a windows 7 64-bit issue? I tried installing Windows 7 beta 32-bit, and this installed successfully on the first try. This is nothing fancy with my new system, 4 gb (1066) GSkill memory, all default bios settings, sata hd's (non raid).

Installing Win7 On Asus K8V SE Deluxe

Feb 2, 2010

I have been working on this for about 5 hours now, searching many forums, downloading drivers, changing Bios settings, etc... but nothing is working. I realize there is a compatibility issue with KV8 and Win7 but a guy at Asus said it might be able to be fixed with certain drivers. I have been fooling around with VIA and Fasttrak 378.

My hard drive is working fine as I am using it right now, but when I get to the Win7 installation to choose where to save it, it does not detect a hard drive. This happened when I tried to install XP pro 64 a while ago as well. How can I make it appear? My system is:

ABS built
Asus K8V SE Deluxe
AMD Athlon 64 3000+
2gb G.Skill Ram
160gb Maxtor SATA hd

I guess I'm confused as to why my hard drive is even RAID configured being that there is only 1.

Converting To Raid 0 Windows 7, Not Hardware Raid 0

Apr 25, 2012

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.

Hardware RAID 1 To Windows 7 RAID 1

Jul 10, 2012

I have Win 7 Pro 64 bit installed on an ASUS P7P55D LE motherboard which supports RAID 0,1,5 and 10 using Intel Matrix Storage Technology through an on board Intel P55 chip set. The system was assembled in Nov 2009 using two Western Digital Caviar Black 750Gb drives in RAID 1 as Drive C:. (I now know from Western Digital Customer Service that I shouldnt have done that, but lets move on from there). Last December, an error message informed me the RAID array was broken and identified one of the 750 Mb drives as needing replacement. I happened to have a spare 1.5Tb WD Caviar Black at the time, so I pulled the 750Mb drive and replaced it with the 1.5Tb drive. Life was once again good. Then on July 4th (wouldnt you know) there was a repeat of the December 2011 error message telling me to replace the other original 750Gb drive. Okay so I had another 1.5Tb WD Caviar Black laying around (dont ask) and did a similar swap out. Thats when I emailed WD Customer Support asking about the 750 since their diagnostic software said the drives were fine. Thats when I learned that I should be paying lots more for enterprise quality drives if I want/need RAID. Well thats not what ASUS says in their advertising, but live and learn. All thats prologue, because my real question is whether its possible to break the hardware-based RAID 1 array and set up a Windows 7-based RAID 1 with the two 1.5Tb WD Caviar Black drives without having to reinstall Windows 7.

SB600 ATI RAID AHCI Drivers? (BSOD On Boot If In RAID/AHCI Mode.)

Jan 6, 2009

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've narrowed it down to these two...

AMD - Asus X5 Laptop - Laptops at Ebuyer

and

Intel - Asus X5DIJ Laptop - Laptops at Ebuyer

The main differences from what I can see is. The Intel has the extra gig of RAM but the AMD has the better graphics chip.

I do not know how the CPU's compare.

I would be ever so grateful for some good advice.
