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?

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???)?

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.

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!

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?
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.

Answer:-
http://support.asus.com/download/download.aspx?SLanguage=en-us
So go to the above link of Asus website and download it? If there are no Windows 7 specific drivers available, download the Vista drivers.

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

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.

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 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 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.

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 don't want anything too crazy, just something I can take with me on my IT jobs...
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.

Recently had my RAID 1 go critical, "a member of the array has failed or is not responding". This happened after getting BSOD while playing Battlefied 3 (that was loaded on the RAID (is serving as C). I replaced one of the drives, repaired the RAID and then loaded Call of Duty MW3 into a different 320 GB drive. That game has also crashed to BSOD and now RAID is listed as critical again. RAID looks like it has split the two drives. One is listed as <LD 2> and the other is listed as <single drive>. Is there a way to get them back together again? Sure would love to find harmony within my computer.

Currently I'm running the RC1. I just got two additional hard-drives to throw into a raid configuration which I set up properly within the bios (worked in XP).
The trouble is when I boot it makes it out of the BIOS and into the Starting Windows Screen. Windows bluescreens at that point. It only bluescreens when I have the RAID option enabled in my bios. I imagine that there aren't drivers for the controller?
When I go to intel's website to install their matrix controller drivers, I get this error: this computer does not meet the minimum requirements for installing this software.

I recently bought my new computer, and it came with two RealSSD C300 256 GB. I want to set up raid 0 to have one drive with 512 GB. I really don't mind the performance boost, i just want to have one partition with 512 GB. I already have it on RAID mode, but whenever the Marvel screen appears, i already tried pressing CTRL M, CTRL R, CTRL I, Space, none of those seem to work.
I own the Maximus IV Extreme motherboard.

This may just be an idle thought, but I'm wondering if one could setup a RAID configuration across two or more PCs? I know that one PC can have more than one RAID system in it, and even outside of it, with controller card going to an external case, but how about two totally separate PCs only connected via a Wireless adapter on a network?

I did have 2 hdds in RAID 0, and wanted to switch to a single disk (so I could swap the motherboard without issue).Cloned the 2 hdds to the single using Norton Ghost. It works fine and the PC boots no problem - but only if the bios (Asus) is set to 'configure sata as RAID'. If I change to 'configure sata as IDE' it won't boot (bsod during windows loading screen).The PC clearly thinks the new, single hdd is still a raid system - which presumably could cause problems when I upgrade the mobo. I have tried Windows 7 repair, fixmbr,fixboot, rebuild bcd... none of it makes any difference! How can I get the PC to realise it's just a single disk?

My refurbished HP desktop came configured for RAID but has just one drive. Long story short, this PC is slow and getting glacially slower -- apparently due to my hard drive's abysmal performance which, I believe, is due to (i) RAID config and (ii) the reportedly crappy AMD AHCI-compatible controller/driver.
I've found lots of great info here for moving from IDE to RAID but not the reverse. Hoping by switching to IDE that I can at least see decent performance. It is unusable "as is" (imagine right-clicking on a file in Windows Explorer and it not responding for nearly a minute at times!).
I attempted to change the BIOS for IDE or AHCI (the two options besides RAID) but Windows refuses to load in either case. So, my question is:
How can I reconfigure to boot Win7 to IDE (instead of RAID) without having to start from scratch? Reinstalling all my apps is just too painful to contemplate, so I'm hoping I won't have to.
Thought about doing a non-destructive reinstall of Win7 (found an article describing how to do this), but have NO idea how to accomplish the changeover to IDE from RAID, i.e. what to do, and when.
