Problem In Loading Raid Drivers

[winni]

There are many problems that I have been through during the period when I have been using the computer, but this is a new one that has not been encountered by me ever since I am using the computer. I am using the motherboard of ASUS A8n-SLI Premium and was loading the Windows 7 32 Bit on to a RAID1 setup. Then after that I had made the set-up of the BIOS which then tries to load a bunch of files and then it launches a interface that tells you which language to prefer, and also tells you to upgrade the Windows 7 application. then it ask me to set up the HDD but their is no option displayed in it. Please tell me what the problem I am facing through.

Follow the following steps to remove the problem of the drivers:

1. Click in to the HDD configuration setting and go to the screen in that you will get the Load Additional Drivers option.
2. Then take the Windows 7 DVD out and then insert your Main board Driver CD.
3. After that go to the select option and load and navigate the corresponding folder where your Raid driver is installed.
4. Then you got to re-insert the Windows 7 DVD and then click on going to next after that.
5. The HDD should show the HDD configuration page.
6. Then after doing this if your unsure of what your are facing with then directly Press shift + F10 to open a command prompt.
7. After that type WMIC DiskDrive >> X:\temp.txt.
8. Then use notepad to read temp.txt (Notepad x:\temp.txt) in this you will get the a list of the available storage devices and hardware ID's.
9. After then use PCIdatabase.com that will enable you to look the hardware ID.

Other option is that you can go to the link of the ASUS support where you will get the related information of the support system that will be needed for solving the RAID issues. In this site you can download the RAID driver files that will give you the brief overview of all the driver details. In the official site you have to give the information of the type of the OS that your current system is using. According to the type of the OS the ASUS will give you the solution.

When all the above steps are not working for you then you can also do the following steps to remove out the problems that are caused by the RAID Drivers:

• Delete the current Raid.
• Then save and exit.
• The HDD cables have to be swapped so as to use the Disk0 which is now called as the Disk1.
• After that enter the Raid configuration.
• Then you got to set the Raid blocks in the size of 128k or 64k.
• You should save the above process after the completion of the above steps.

Then make bootable and exit. This should remove the problem of Raid and remove the problem permanently.

If the issue still exist then there is only one option, that you have to re-install all the driver file again. While your re-installing the driver file see to it that you type on the correct Hardware IP address, because there are chances that the user might have typed the wrong IP address. Wrong typing of the IP address lets to many problem such as the one which has been discussed above.
