KT7A-RAID 1.3

[Immoral_2]

I'm was running 2000 and I decided to move to XP Pro. The old Highpoint 1.11.0402 worked okay with 2k and then all my data on XP was getting corrupted (drives on the RAID). I looked around for the latest bios update, but all the RAID versions were 1.11.402. I decided to give the kt7s_9r_2.34 that I found on this site a try. I did install the 2.34 driver for XP before I did this...Everything was going fine and the performance increase was excellent. Tonight I was working on some animation projects and all hell broke loose. BLUE SCREENS! I had to disable my RAID controller through bios and now everything is working fine. Nothing is OC'd in case you were wondering...

My question is...why? Is there something that I can do to fix this, besides reverting back to the old version?

Thanks in advance...

Be sure that the WD drives are jumpered properly. It's a good idea to use the CS (cable select) setting on all drives.

If a WD drive is alone on a cable, it needs to have the jumper removed. Jumper as master only if the drive has a slave on the cable. If mis-jumpered, the drive may be detected and may function, but it will eventually die. Corruption of unknown origin is a warning.

Thanks for the pointer. I have single drives set @ CS...I don't think it's an issue with the drives, but rather an issue with the older version of the RAID and the horrible stock XP drivers.

I did some putting around and decided to get brave with XP. I deleted all the drivers pertaining to the RAID and then reinstalled the driver of my choice. It seems to be stable...only time will tell.

I'll keep u posted...again TY
