natew Posted October 20, 2003 Report Share Posted October 20, 2003 Hi Make sure you have the latest drivers from Intel for your controller. That has cleared up these problems in the past. Nate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petros Posted October 21, 2003 Report Share Posted October 21, 2003 I have exactly the same problem since upgrading to a new Intel 750 motherboard (D875PBZ) and 2 serial ATA drives in a RAID 0 configuration. I've updated to all latest drivers as per your suggestion but the problem persists. By setting the RS trace level (in ALT-CTRL-SHIFT PP) I can see that RS is succesfully detecting all devices before just closing down! No other events are generated in retrospects operations log or windows event log. Everything else on the machine works perfectly! Brief machine info as follows: Intel D875PBZ motherboard 1GB RAM 2 80GB Serial ATA drives in RAID0 1 IDE Sony DRU510A DVD+-RW drive 1 IDE CD-ROM drive 1 IDE Sony AIT drive 1 IDE 120GB Drive 1 IDE 80GB Drive Any suggestions would be greately appreciated. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dawolfman666 Posted October 21, 2003 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2003 ahhhh...its doing my nut in, worked fine with one drive, i bought my tape srive to use it...grrr. i got the latest drivers from interl...but not to sure if it will even let me upgrade them, as you have to pull them off to put new ones on and you cant take them off as you wont be able to access the RAID. i did a search on RAID in this forum...not realy specfic to the new chipsets. someone has to have a similar rig to the two of us.

dawolfman666 Posted October 21, 2003 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2003 does the latest version of retrospect have this issue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petros Posted October 22, 2003 Report Share Posted October 22, 2003 Yes it does. I bought it last night hoping that it would resolve the issue but no joy - exactly the same problem! How many devices in total do you have in your machine? The only thing I have effectively added in mine are two serial ATA drives. Could it be that RS just can't cope with serial ATA yet?

natew Posted October 28, 2003 Report Share Posted October 28, 2003 Hi I have talked to people who have similar setups working fine in Retrospect so there must be another factor involved here. Can you post the version of the intel application accelerator you have? Thanks Nate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petros Posted November 1, 2003 Report Share Posted November 1, 2003 Hi Nate, You are a genius! I was running Intel Application Accelerator RAID Edition 3.0.0.2344. I upgraded to the latest version (3.5.0.2653) and all problems went away. RS is now working perfectly and better than RS 6. For all others experiencing a similar problem the latest version of IAA can be found here Many thanks for your help! Regards, Petros Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
