Installation of Windows 7 Raid with motherboard ASUS P8z77-VPRO

The States of user manual ASUS that I need a USB floppy drive to load drivers during the Windows 7 RAID install. Question, SD USB card reader will work just as well?  Is there another alternative?

Thank you

Joe

Yes, Windows 7 does not have a floppy disk, you can use a USB key if necessary.

In fact, most of the time you will be same not a driver separated initially.

Windows 7 contains most of the drivers needed even for RAID.

  • "Fatal error: 10 (from resources)" - ESXi 5.5 U1 with motherboard ASUS Z87-DELUXE - VSAN Homelab

    Looking for help to build my 3 node VSAN Home lab.  This section of discussion has a lot of details to help someone else in the same boat as me (present or future).

    The goal:

    Operation of a laboratory at home with ESXi 5.5U1 where the primary storage is VSAN.  Prescription: 3 hosts at least 2 cores and 8 GB of RAM and at least a SSD and a SATA drive for each host.

    The problem:

    When I try to install ESXi 5.5 U1 on my host (ASUS build details below), I get the message "error loading tools.t00 Fatal Error: 10 (from resources)" during the installation process. Installation process is one USB Flash drive to another.

    When I install ESXi U1 5.1 on the same system, everything works perfectly.  Installation process is one USB Flash drive to another.

    Not yet tried ESXi 5.5.

    • Start-up, CSM, Boot - devices only (UEFI disabled) legacy
    • Startup, SVM, Secure Boot - "other OS".

    What settings BIOS configurations / had no impact/weird behavior?

    What I intend to do?

    • Upgrade firmware Z87 DELUXE (BIOS update tool does not work, "Violation of security checking" reports, will probably have to install Windows 7 to use the updater tool).
    • Try to install ESXi 5.5, then use AUVS to update 1.
    • Continue to build the whole environment with ESXi 5.1 U1 to burn and continue troubleshooting ESXi 5.5 U1 on a single host.

  • Had to replace the motherboard with an ASUS P5Q Turbo luxury and now Windows 7 hangs on the Windows installation.

    I am so frustrated now that I'm ready to give up window 7.

    I had to replace my abit IX38 QuadGT inserted in my PC due to problems of firmware cannot be resolved (abit now being out of the business of the motherboard).  In any case, I bought a new ASUS P5Q Pro TURBO (which is SUPPOSED to be ready out of the box for Windows 7) and TRIED to reinstall my Windows 7 64-bit professional installation.

    To add bad things to me I had to replace my hard drive with a new WD 640 MB Caviar Black.  I had the feeling to my 500 GB Seagate Barracuda as a primary drive, hoping that Windows 7 Pro would see that, Yes, I had a previous installation of Windows 7, and it would allow me to install again.

    No luck.

    My system starts ok DVD of Windows 7, then the files installation done and then goes to the windows 7 screen installation and CRASHES completely.

    What ____! I have updated the BIOS to try to solve the problem, but of course, no go.

    Can someone tell me what to do _ because I'm NOT a novice by any means and I literally spent hours of my time trying to make a simple re-install.

    I am angry that this is not simpler than it is.  MS why can't this right. Good grief!

  • Motherboard Asus P5LP - limestone with Core 2 Duo... is it possible?

    Hello

    So Ive wanted to upgrade my CPU for a while now for my computer HP m7167c with the motherboard Asus P5LP - limestone. On the product information HP on the motherboard, I see Upgrading CPU best I can get is Pentium D or Pentium 4. Given that the motherboard is the LGA 775 socket type, would fit in a Core 2 Duo E7500 Wolfdale. I was hoping that there would be in any way you can do this work., and I have concluded that, although this might be dangerous, it coul be done by flashing the BIOS using windows XP. If there is someone who knows how to do this could you please help me?

    Hello:

    It would be 100% chance of not working to install a C2D.

    At least with the shot in the dark, you can have a chance on the outside to hit something.

    Installation of a Pentium D 945 with the last update of the BIOS provides a better result than shooting in the dark.

    Maxing out the memory is a good thing, or add at least 2 x 1 GB sticks to the two empty slots. If you have not done this, I would do it before the upgrade of the processor.

    I looked at the specs of product for your PC, and I see no power supply specifications. I need to know what the power of the P/S before recommending a video card with HDMI output for your machine.

  • Installation of Windows XP on TecraS3 with a 320 GB SATA hard drive

    Hallo,
    during the installation of Windows XP on a Tecra S3-SATA hard drive is not discovered.

    Details:
    Laptop: Toshiba Tecra S3, model PTS30E
    Hard drive: Toshiba MK3252GSX 320 S - ATA
    Driver used: raid-drv - 20071023162302.zip (from Toshiba)
    Toshiba-support document: TSB001272

    For the installation of Windows I used correspondent support-Toshiba-document 'TSB001272' the external driver for SATA. The disk with the driver is used for installation, but the hard drive is still unknown.

    PS: The Linux Suse 10.2 installation runs without problem.

    Question: Who knows the good driver for Windows XP? Thank you.

    Manfred Alpers

    > For the Windows installation I used correspondent support-Toshiba-document 'TSB001272' the external driver for SATA. The disk with the driver is used for installation, but the hard drive is still unknown.

    I think you mean this Toshiba document:

    http://209.167.114.38/support/TechSupport/TSBs/all/-TSB001272.htm

    Hey buddy the RAID driver can be found on the Toshiba driver page.
    Use this driver as part of the tool called nLite. You can create a new XP CD and could include the RAID driver using this free tool.

    I did this procedure several times and it still worked!

  • E521 with advanced format ST500DM002 Player - do I need a SATA driver separated during the installation of Windows 7?

    Hello

    I have an E521 with 2 GB of Ram and X 2 processor. I want to install Windows 7 on a record nine of ST500DM002 (= native 4K advanced format). It will work without hassle, or will I have to install a SATA driver during installation? If Yes, which? I can't find the necessary information for the main card.

    Thank you, Andre

    Hi Andre,

    As you would expect, you will need the Windows 7 drivers RAID so that the installer of Windows recognize the drive. Our buddy rdunnill forum explains how to do this HERE. He included a link to NVIDIA support site where you can download the driver.

  • XPS 8500 Windows 7 install with RAID

    Hello

    I am a newbie here so if I do noob errors please forgive me.

    I have the XPS 8500 with 32 GB msata mb disk cache. Win 7 is the original OS. My HARD drive is dead and when I went to to replace I couldn't get Win7 to install. The only way that finally worked was ACHI RAID. The problem is that Intel RST doesn't seem to work in this configuration.

    I am not very familiar with the Bios settings, I so reset the Bios factory and started from there. I have to do something else besides just changing ACHI to RAID? Band adjustment? Do I need to have a driver to install during the installation of Windows 7? If Yes, where can I find? I searched the net with no joy.

    If there is no instructions step by step or anyone can guide me through it, I would be extremely grateful. Two days on this now...

    Thank you very much for the help.

    I found a copy of Windows 7 Home Premium w/SP1. I was able to load this version in a RAID configuration and it works beautifully. Once the operating system has been loaded, I went to Dell.com for drivers and utilities. One of them was the Intel RST. My computer now uses the ssd cache to speed up. He is back to normal.

    PS, I tried to load the operating system directly on the ssd of 32 GB. An error pops up saying that it was too small, that requires 33 GB +.

    Thank you for your help. I learned a lot from reading the links you have provided.

  • Need help with the installation of Windows XP Home on my Satellite Pro A300-1DZ

    Hi all.

    I have a Satellite Pro A300-1DZ system unit, model no PSAG1E-OOFOO4EN (think they are 'o' and not '0', circle with slash through it) with WXP Pro.

    I recently contracted a virus inside and as he removed, however it is not good so I want to re - install Windows XP Home edition. I backed up the computer, I have a Windows XP Home SP2 Pro edition disk and I have my product key.
    I put the CD/DVD in BIOS to run 1 drive and tells me that I can boot from the CD, I press a button and it loads the CD, select the option where to install windows.

    BUT! I can t go further than what windows does not detect the HD said he s not now, or whatever.

    My question is this: Please can someone me step by step instructions on how to reinstall XP and a link to all the drivers I need to make it work?

    PLEEASE!

    It's simple on my PC, also, please keep in mind, I am best suited for working on cars, I'm not stupid, but my calloused hands search for computers a little more difficult than Motors please not in many computer technical terms.
    I myself am the slow education in the dark arts of computers. LOL :)

    PS. the laptop has a Vista Basic sticker on it, but it is certainly the XP pro operating system. :)

    Hi jeff

    Here's your solution:
    1. go to bios with F2 when you see the toshiba start screen.
    2. Select the arrow to the left using the "Advanced".
    3 press down until you get to "SATA Controller Mode".
    4 change, using F7/F8, Chang [AHCI] setting [compatibility].
    5. make sure the CD/DVD drive is the first to start and F10 save and exit. computer restart when you are prompted to "press any key" press a button and hey presto as before windows will start the installation, but this time you won't get windows you said:

    Set up did not find Ant hard disks installed on your computer.

    Make sure any drive HARD are powered on and properly connected to your computer and any hard disk related hardware configuration is correct. This may involve running a manufacturer-supplied diagnostic or Setup program.

    implementation cannot continue press f3 to goto hell... uh I mean leaving the installation

    And you can continue on your installation of Windows XP Home edition.

    Hope I helped many other jeff's in the same boat. XD

  • Preparation of an installation of Windows XP Home edition CD with a MINIMUM required drivers for A200-1AX

    Greetings,

    I am trying to install Windows XP Home edition on my old days by Satellite A200-1AX. Today, I tried to boot from the CD of Windows XP Home edition or after the copy of the system files, the laptop produces the error that Setup did not find any hard disk during the Installation of Windows XP. I looked on the internet and found the following page:

    http://www.howtogeek.com/HOWTO/Windows/resolving-Setup-did-not-find-any-hard-disk-drives-during-Windows-XP-installation/

    Explains how to resolve this problem. So I try to make my own installation CD of Windows XP Home edition with the necessary drivers. My first question is: what are the minimum required drivers to ensure a smooth installation process until I get the XP running? It is not necessary to install the drivers for all the A200-1AX since the first installation of XP, I can always go back and install those remaining of the XP; but I don't want the installation process interrupted due to a missing driver where I have to repeat the process of manufacturing more install of WXP CD custom. The list of drivers and devices provided by Toshiba is too long to write on a single installation with XP CD.

    My second question is: there is an update of the bios/firmware required in accordance with the instruction list. Is it necessary BEFORE or AFTER the installation of Windows XP Home edition?

    If I decide to go back to VISTA using the recovery CD, I must restore the bios/firmware?

    Thanks in advance for your answer.

    Best regards, Ashraf.

    > My first question is: what are the minimum required drivers to ensure a smooth installation process until I get the XP running

    You will need to include only the Intel Matrix Storage Manger for the XP CD again. Without this iMSM XP will not see the HARD drive
    This driver is important. Other drivers can be installed after the installation of XP!

    > My second question is: there is an update of the bios/firmware required in accordance with the instruction list. Is it necessary BEFORE or AFTER the installation of Windows XP Home edition?

    There are 2 versions of BIOS; One for Vista and one for XP. Generally, the update of the BIOS must be made before the instillation of OS but you can also try to do after installing XP. In both cases, the update of the BIOS would be possible.

    > If I decide to go back to VISTA using the recovery CD, I must restore the bios/firmware?
    Generally, Yes! Without the good BIOS features like the FN buttons could not work properly!
