P4C800-E and ICH5R RAID Problem
Anyone notice if their ICH5R RAID 0 configuration produces an error after
coming out of standby? I have to restart the computer, hit CNTL-I to get back into the Intel RAID setup and answer YES to the question confirming if the existing configuration is the correct RAID configuration. After this, I exit and it restarts just fine. I've noticed this about 6 or 7 times now and it's getting old. Don't know if a bios update will fix it (running 1010) or not, but heard some not-so-good things about 1011 so hesitant on updating again. Anyone seen this? I'm sure it will go away if I move over to the Promise controller, but the ICH5R is one of the reasons I bought this board so my drives wouldn't be stuck on the PCI bus. TIA, Steve |

Steve - I placed my newly built system into standby for the first time last
night and got a BSOD when I came out of it - I had to reboot but I did not have to reconfigure using ctrl-i. However with two wd raptors running XP pro (SP1a) in a RAID 0 setup pn the Intel ICH5R controller like yourself, I am getting touchy and possibly paranoid if something should go wrong, necessitating a full clean install. That said I have backed up the OS Volume using Drive Image 7 - albeit this is on my other RAID 0 setup on the Promise controller - hope I don't need it! Going into and coming out of Hibernation is not a problem by the way.

This may not be your issue, but a recent Windows Update for XP (KB822603)
caused my RAID0 array on a Highpoint 374 controller to begin receiving countless errors, especially upon resume from S3 standby. Once I removed the update, all was well.

Thanks Dave - yes I've heard about this somewhere in a forum, but discounted
it, god knows why! Unfortunately, silly me, I have not fully examined the BSOD screens to see precisely what caused the fault in the first place. I have this update - a fairly recent one - installed and probably will install it. Camne across this: - http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=822603 Does this fix the problem or is it simply the original one to which you refer? At present I'm checking to see whether my tweak on my Radeon 9800 Pro is the cause - I upped the core to 400 (from 378) and Memory to 350 (from 338). I'm running now on the defaults to see if this improves matters. I will report one way or the other - if this does not work I will remove the USB update.
