GigaRAID on GA - 8KNXP
I'm having an issue with the GigaRAID on the 8KNXP
I'm loosing connectivity with the two HDDs connected as NORMAL ATA drives connected to the GigaRAID port - both on the one BUS. When I loose the connection, I can hear what sounds like the HEADS ONLY 'clicking' into their rest-track, and I don't notice any change in the 'spin' sound of the drives, although these are extra quiet Western Digitals. I don't normally hear the heads move, even during a defrag, or other heavy disk usage. Explore cannot do any functions with the drives, and frequently the screen will freeze. Also on re-booting, I frequently get the GigaRAID IDE SCAN to re-recognize the drives, but sometimes not. Disabling and re-enabling in the BIOS may or may not result in any changes. Sometimes unplugging the power helps, but not always. The *FINAL* solution that regularly works is pull the CMOS BATTERY and short the connectors. It is highly annoying, happening randomly I thought it may have had something to do with a DRIVE UPDATE from M$, which resulted in Event Viewer reporting ITE errors a few days after the update, but I've re-installed the original driver. Device Manager does not, and has never noted any warnings. stumpted geezer --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).
