Windows Forum / Windows Vista / Hardware / July 2006Nvidia SATA Raid Support
Greets everyone; I was wondering if anyone of the users here running Vista are able to run their SATA Raid from nvidia. Specifically :-) does anyone have an Asus A8N32-SLI Deluxe running the Nvidia raid? I'm asking because I haven't seen any beta drivers for the nforce4 AMD/Intel 16x on vista on the nvidia.com website as of May 18th 5381 gives an warning that Nvidia SATA Raid is not supported, however I have not actually tried to install. -- Raini Graf > Greets everyone; > [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > I'm asking because I haven't seen any beta drivers for the nforce4 > AMD/Intel 16x on vista on the nvidia.com website as of May 18th > 5381 gives an warning that Nvidia SATA Raid is not supported, however I > have not actually tried to install. Ok cool, thanks for the post back about it :-) Once I get my lil hands on Beta2 when it's released I'll have to see if I've got an IDE drive laying around somewhere... or do the unthinkable :-D & see if I can install Vista on my SATA2 enclosure until there's drivers for the nvidia raid. >> Greets everyone; >> [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] >> I'm asking because I haven't seen any beta drivers for the nforce4 >> AMD/Intel 16x on vista on the nvidia.com website as of May 18th NVIDIA nForce4 AMD RAID controller unrecognized (64 Bit) NVIDIA nForce4 WinXP IDE SATA_IDE driver version 5.34/5.35 (32 Bit) can be installed manually * NVIDIA nForce 4 - Serial ATA Controller (SATA/RAID) |- installs automatically for some. |- nForce4 SLI Intel Edition in Dell XPS doesn't install. |- for some the XP32 and XP64 drivers function if loaded with the Vista setup started from WinXP. > Greets everyone; > [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > I'm asking because I haven't seen any beta drivers for the nforce4 > AMD/Intel 16x on vista on the nvidia.com website as of May 18th Looks Like I Won't be Able to Install Windows Vista Beta 2 on my Brand New DELL XPS 600, just FYI (Same Nvidia SATA 2 Raid Driver Warning Message with Windows Vista Beta 2, just like everyone else, just FYI). > NVIDIA nForce4 AMD RAID controller unrecognized (64 Bit) > NVIDIA nForce4 WinXP IDE SATA_IDE driver version 5.34/5.35 (32 Bit) can [quoted text clipped - 17 lines] >> I'm asking because I haven't seen any beta drivers for the nforce4 >> AMD/Intel 16x on vista on the nvidia.com website as of May 18th Update: Earlier this week, I Successfully Installed Windows Vista Beta 2 on my DELL XPS 600, I used the Beta NVIDIA NForce 4 SLI Intel Edition Windows Vista Driver, and the Beta NVIDIA GeForce 6800 Force Ware Windows Vista Driver from NVIDIA's Website, just FYI. > Looks Like I Won't be Able to Install Windows Vista Beta 2 on my Brand New > DELL XPS 600, just FYI (Same Nvidia SATA 2 Raid Driver Warning Message [quoted text clipped - 21 lines] >>> I'm asking because I haven't seen any beta drivers for the nforce4 >>> AMD/Intel 16x on vista on the nvidia.com website as of May 18th > Update: Earlier this week, I Successfully Installed Windows Vista Beta > 2 on my DELL XPS 600, I used the Beta NVIDIA NForce 4 SLI Intel Edition > Windows Vista Driver, and the Beta NVIDIA GeForce 6800 Force Ware > Windows Vista Driver from NVIDIA's Website, just FYI. Sweet, thanks for the update, I'll have to give it a try on my A8N32-SLI once the public release can be downloaded. >> Looks Like I Won't be Able to Install Windows Vista Beta 2 on my Brand >> New DELL XPS 600, just FYI (Same Nvidia SATA 2 Raid Driver Warning [quoted text clipped - 22 lines] >>>> I'm asking because I haven't seen any beta drivers for the nforce4 >>>> AMD/Intel 16x on vista on the nvidia.com website as of May 18th I’m using a RAID 0 configuration with a Gigabyte GA-K8N ULTRA. I was able to perform a clean install of Vista using the newest NForce4 drivers (nforce_vistax86beta2) the same method as you would to install F6 drivers: • Download and extract nforce_vistax86beta2_english.zip from Nvidia and extract • Navigate to IDE/driver/sataraid/ • Add all of these (should be 7) to a floppy disc or equivalent • Navigate to IDE/driver/legacy/ • Add nvatabus.inf, nvcoi.dll, nvide.nvu to the floppy as well • Insert your Vista Beta 2 disc and restart • Vista will go through start up and eventually ask if you want to install additional drivers – just point it to the floppy drive. Drivers should install and your RAID should be accessible. After that, Vista installed and ran flawlessly and beautifully!

Im having trouble, but my mobo is the GA K8N Pro Nforce 3 250 with siI3512 Sata Raid - those drivers dont mention NF3 or SiI > I’m using a RAID 0 configuration with a Gigabyte GA-K8N ULTRA.

Get the beta Vista nForce driver (from nVidia "nForce_vista84beta2-english"). Expand it and load the drivers under IDE-sataraid to a diskette or flash card. When loading Vista, you are given the opportunity to load more drivers (Used to be F6). I GBhave a 3 80 gbdrive RAID 0 80 122GB array working fine on a XPS 600. Discovered from benchmarks that each additional stripped drive imprved read /write times but still no where near specs published by Dell or nVidia. |
