LanParty Nforce4 Ultra-D Raid 0 Problem??

iMacMart · 10 Jan 2007 at 22:28

Guys

Has anyone managed to get a RAID 0 working within Vista on the above board?

I'm hoping to purchase Ultimate but I've read of issues with legacy board (Nforce 4) not seeing the RAID as a complete drive but as two seperate drives??

Can anyone comment if they have got it working on x86 Vista and if so what drivers they used?

Many thanks

Anyone care to comment or have you seen this first hand?

If windows says it are 2 sepreate drives, you probably forgot to actually make a raid array in raid bios, make sure you've made an array within raid bios...

Could be wrong...

If only it was that simple

I installed XP straight onto the RAID 0 last night so the BIOS settings must have been correct?

I spent some time reading and there was an issue at RC1 & RC2 but I was hoping they would have been fixed by now....

Maybe I'll give it some more time and keep checking forums for a fix :confused:

Lol thats fine mate..!!

I have actually found some modded drivers from a website that I will try tonight.

Not too fussed as XP pro fly's with my RAID 0 as it is...!!

Cheers

Just as an update their are modded raid drivers out for nforce 4 boards to get vista raid working

I used them and it worked a charm, raid 0
