|
From: hectorg on 27 Sep 2006 19:26 My MoBo is ASUS K8V SE, has a promise RAID controller, & FASTTRAK 378. All works fine with Xp 32, now I want Xp 64 bit.:wink: Latest 64 bit Promise RAID driver revision ASUS web-support download is 1.00.0.39, but can't get it to work. - During install, I hit F6, and it loads the driver, reboots, finished install, then, nada. Continuous reboots. - I tried small IDE HDD, then updating driver afterwards within Xp64, does not work either. Does not load driver, I'm without RAID. - I tried BIOS switching from RAID to IDE and back.Promise website mentions no support for MB with embedded controller & to go to mfg of Mobo, ASUS. Any suggestions?:roll: Do we have working RAID HDD drivers for Promise 378 and VISTA64bit? plz, help...:? -- hectorg ------------------------------------------------------------------------ hectorg's Profile: http://www.64bit-world.com/forums/member.php?u=1543 View this thread: http://www.64bit-world.com/forums/showthread.php?t=47684
From: Dennis Pack on 26 Sep 2006 21:35 Hectorg: The latest driver for the Fasttrack 378 is 1.00.039. After downloading the driver from Asus you have to unzip the download. After the download is unzipped there will be 1 folder and 3 files in the download. These have to be copied to a floppy for installation.

From: Tony Sperling on 27 Sep 2006 22:08 If you are having RAID and IDE both, make sure that your RAID is set as the first drive - and note that your BIOS may have the RAID listed in the IDE section too, make it the first drive and then set the boot-order. If this does not work, try disabling everything that you don't need for the machine to boot. When the machine is running then it should be alright to enable the stuff that you are going to need, leave everything else disbaled. And to expand on Denis's excellent point on unzipping the file, if that's your problem - make sure that you copy the part of the directory structure such that the file TXTSETUP.OEM lands in the root of the floppy!

From: hectorg on 27 Sep 2006 22:27 I posted this version of the driver, but not on how to use it, and _*I_did_all_of_that,_if_you_read_carefully*_. That is the exact version I am using from the Asus website, plus I tried other BIOS versions, and beta's, just in case..;) I'll explain again: The install with F6 gets the driver, formats, copies, install continues fine afterwards, reboots and continues install, asks once on the logo testing to continue, then finishes install. After this reboot, it never comes back, and continues rebooting...:roll: I do truly appreciate your effort and time spent for posting a reply, and encourage you to continue. :cool: -- hectorg ------------------------------------------------------------------------ hectorg's Profile: http://www.64bit-world.com/forums/member.php?u=1543 View this thread: http://www.64bit-world.com/forums/showthread.php?t=47684
