ASUS SABERTOOTH X58: I dont succeed to install new Chipset.
wrote:
Do you have two RAID drives connected to the Marvell controller right now ? Can you tell me how can I check if there are two RAID0 connected to the Marvell controller right now? In Storage Controller I have: Intel(R) Desktop/Workstation/Server Express Chipset SATA RAID Controller v.10.1.0.1008 JMicron JMB36X Controller v.1.17.56.2 Marvell 91xx SATA 6G Controller v. 1.2.0.1002 They refer to a "Marvell RAID Utility" or MRU here. Do you have something with MRU in its name on your computer ? http://www.marvell.com/products/stor...ct_brief. pdf I can find a reference to an installer like this. Presumably this has MRU in it. http://download.gigabyte.us/FileList...arvell_mru.exe (I found the reference on this page.) http://forums.tweaktown.com/gigabyte...-c300-ssd.html There is a manual for the Marvell RAID Utility here. This manual will show you what the software looks like. Notice, on page 10, there is an option to enable a "web service". That would turn your computer into a web server, for the purpose of being able to check the Marvell RAID status from another computer, and you don't need that. http://download.intel.com/support/mo...aid_manual.pdf Using my copy of 7ZIP to go through the "motherboard_driver_marvell_mru.exe" download, I don't see any driver level files, and it looks like that package relies on the software you have already installed. This is just a guess on my part. You should check your motherboard CD, use the Windows "Explorer" file manager to examine the CD and see if there is any software on the CD with the name "MRU" in it. That would be the Asus equivalent of the package I can see on the gigabyte.us site. The MRU software should be able to tell you how many disks are connected to the Marvell controller. I don't really know how a disk would be listed in Device Manager, if it was connected to the Marvell. It could appear as an ordinary disk, or it could be listed as a "SCSI" device. Paul |

Paul,
for me is difficult to interpret what you write me. I'm enoug inexperienced man and I am afraid to make the situation worse. I can tell you before installing that new driver: Marvell 91xx SATA 6G Controller v. 1.2.0.1002 on Toolbar (windows 7 on the bottom dx) there is an icon device with features of a pen with this writing: "Marvell RAID VD 0 SCSI disk device". When I have installed the newer driver that icon has disappear. Perhaps do it means I don't have RAID0 anymore? Now on "Storage Controller" I have clicked on that new driver "Marvell 91xx SATA 6G Controller " and that icon has appeared again. I think now I have RAID0. Do I make a mistake?

The quality of my information isn't good. I don't know the right answer to making your RAID work! ******* .... Sorry, I meant to cancel that message. I found the MRU utility on the Asus download page. Paul |

Yes, in motherboard CD there is a Software folder and inside there is
MRU folder and inside there a AsusSetup, ConsoleSetup and MRUSetup files. But if with the new driver I already have 2 disk in RAID0 I don't undestand what I have to make precisely. (I see total size of the array equals the sum of the parts). It looks to me, like "Disk 2" is the RAID array. As near as I can tell. The "VD" refers to a virtual device. The claimed size of the volume, will help confirm whether it is RAID 0 or RAID 1. (If it is a RAID 0 array, the total size of the array equals the sum of the parts.) I went back to look at the Sabertooth X58 download page on the Asus site, and it looks like a missed something. There are drivers in the "SATA" section. But there is additional software in the "Utilities" section. http://support.asus.com/Download.asp...X58&p=1&s= 29 The Windows RAID control package for Marvell would be Marvell MRU Utility V4.1.0.1610 37,75 (MBytes) 2010.03.26 update That package looks similar to the one I mentioned in my other post, the "motherboard_driver_marvell_mru.exe" file. Check your motherboard CD and see if there is a MRU utility on it. And if there is not, go back to the support.asus.com site and download the 37,75 MBytes file and use it. Paul |

2) RAID Utility (MRU)
1) I have just installed: Marvell MRU Utility V4.1.0.1610 37,75 (MBytes) 2010.03.26 update On Desktop now I see a red icon "MarvellTray". If I click on it, it opens a Firefox or Internet Explorer with these writings: There was a problem with the website's security certificate. That link is: https://localhost:8443/MRU/JumpPage....e&reqID=848724 and the page is off-line. 2) When I picked up the new PC from the shop, I saw on Toolbar (on the bottom) an icone with USB appearance it was "Safely Remove Hardware". I clicked on it and there are these writings: "Marvell RAID VD 0 SCSI disk device" I asked to technical why there is that icon and he told me it was the RAID0 and it was impossible to take away it. NOW..... yesterday I have installed the newer driver and that icon on the Toolbar has disappeared. Perhaps do I have problems with RAID0 or may be RAID0 there isn't? In fact on "Storage Controller" ... if I click on that new driver "Marvell 91xx SATA 6G Controller " and install again the previous driver, that icon appears again. Why do I get it, please? |

I have a Case Cooler master HAF-X with 2 removable drawers :
http://www.coolermaster.com/product.php?product_id=6653 I'll tell you right now: In the top drawer there is a hardrive with OS Lower there is a second drawer with a second hardrive with another OS but it is disconnected In short, when I surf in Internet I use an OS When I do editing I use another OS I remove the top drawer (with the OS) and put it below (disconnected), then I take second and I put it above (with another OS) and I do editing video. I invert the drawers (but lower one is always disconnected. This is an option that gives the Case Cooler Master HAF-X. Then I have the internal hardrives that you already know. Perhaps my PC will need that icon on the Toolbar which allowed to eject an array? 2) RAID Utility (MRU) 1) I have just installed: Marvell MRU Utility V4.1.0.1610 37,75 (MBytes) 2010.03.26 update On Desktop now I see a red icon "MarvellTray". If I click on it, it opens a Firefox or Internet Explorer with these writings: There was a problem with the website's security certificate. That link is: https://localhost:8443/MRU/JumpPage....e&reqID=848724 and the page is off-line. 2) When I picked up the new PC from the shop, I saw on Toolbar (on the bottom) an icone with USB appearance it was "Safely Remove Hardware".

In fact on "Storage Controller" ... if I click on that new driver "Marvell 91xx SATA 6G Controller " and install again the previous driver, that icon appears again. Why do I get it, please? If you use an AHCI driver for a single disk, AHCI supports "Hot Plug", the ability to use Safely Remove to unplug a drive, or later, to plug the drive back in and have it detected by Windows. If a computer doesn't have Hot Plug support set up, then the disks have to be plugged in, before you turn on the computer power and boot the system. Then the disks would be detected. The presence of the icon, suggests to me the driver is AHCI. If you're operating a RAID array, it would be pretty dangerous to pull out a drive while the system was running. I'm not sure that Safely Remove, will offer to remove a RAID disk for you. If you had a RAID mirror, logically you can unplug one of the drives, as the other drive has an identical copy of the data. But when you bring the removed drive back later, you'd be required to do a "rebuild" to synchronize the disks. So I wouldn't really be that happy, if I had an actual multi-disk RAID volume, and Windows put the Safely Remove icon there in the tray area. Paul |

Perhaps my PC will need that icon on the Toolbar which allowed to eject an array? But that would be a single drive. Your OS then, isn't on a RAID array, if you move a single drive to change the OS. With the Intel SATA ports, you can operate a single drive, while using the other ports for RAID. You need to draw a picture of the wiring. Trace where the SATA cables go, and which drive is on the ports. ICH10R ---------- \ ---------- \ ---------- \____ 3 dual stacks labeled (7) in ---------- / the motherboard manual ---------- / ---------- / Marvell 9128 ---- \____ One dual stack labeled (8) in ---- / the motherboard manual JMB362 ---------- \____ Two ESATA ports on the back of the computer, ---------- / Identify which drive, and their sizes, and the port the drive is connected to.
