GA8KNXP: installed latest Si3112 driver & now cannot boot from RAID1.
Hi,
I have a GA-8KNXP (Rev1.0) mobo with Intel 2.8GHz cpu, 1GB RAM & WinXP Pro. There are 2 x 120GB Maxtor SATA Disks in RAID1 managed by the onboard Silicon Image SI3112. The RAID1 disk is also the boot disk. There are also 2 x 120GB Maxtor SATA Disks in RAID0 manged by the onboard IntelRAID. The system was running well for the past few mth with the device drivers that came with the mobo (i.e. Intel 975 series mohterboard utlity cd (ver 1.1)). However, last Dec-2003, I decided top download the 'latest' Si3112 drivers from Gigabyte Mobo support website. There were several drivers from that download zip & I must have installed the wrong driver (i.e. Si3112 SATA 1.0.0.44) whereas I should probably have installed Si3112R 1.0.0.33. As a result, when the computer bootsup, it fails to recognise the RAID1 disks & so cannot boot up at all. Safe Mode does not work. Questions ========= 1. What is the correct version of SI3112 I should use? 2. How do I correct this problem given I cannot even boot up from the PC? Can you provide a detailed step-by-step explanation? I have a lot of data on all the RAID1 & RAID0 disks & do not want to have to reformat the disks. Is there a simple way to reinstall the correct version of Si3112 driver? Your urgent help is most appreciated. p.s. - I am using a 2nd computer to send this post message. Thanks Danny TAY email: |
