Excuse me Please: I would like to ask where in nLite v1.4.9.3 there is a setting/config where one can force the default install of the OS to be in 4kb sector format. Thank you kindly for the assistyance. CAH

well, as an FYI, I reset the Dynamic drive(s) to basic (which removed any previous partitions) I repartitioned, reformatted, and all is !*well*! Thanks again for the help with the drivers.

what is the name of the file? also, win2k auto-protects core system files, to where they can be deleted, yet reappear moments later (e.g. Netmeeting is one that does that)

First off, thank you all for the assistance thus far. Now that the correct drivers are installed, Disk Management states it "can not read " the drive (2 40GB maxtors, mirrored) do I now have to revert them to basic disks (previously OS dynamic/mirrored) and repartiton/reformat them? was hoping to retain the data on them, but it is not critical.

in dealing with this Sii 0680 controller card,.... Am I to understand the HDD have to be reformatted since being on ctrl'r card now? or is something still requiring config/setup? or do I have to revert it back to a Basic disk (previously Dynamic for mirroring under windows) *OR* can the data already on the drives be salvaged>?

hmm, well, after SiiCFG for Medley stated complted and a reboot, Disk Management still states Disk 0 (SiiG card w/ 2 maxtor 40GB-mirrored) is unreadable. as well as it does not show up with the rest of the HDD's these drives were previously used under windows as mirrors, and do stil have data on them. Am I to understand they have to be reformatted since being on ctrl'r card now? or is something still requiring config/setup? do I have to revert it back to a Basic disk (previously Dynamic for mirroring under windows) Thanks again

wooHOO! progress! the SiiCFG for Medley after reboot can now read the card and drives, which it states is now doing a rebuild (? is this normal) though Disk Management states "Disk 0" is unreadable,.... will come back later to see if "rebuild" completion has made any changes. Thank you so much for the assistance here, this means alot! CAH

after Uninstalling previous driver, and Scanning for HW changes, put windows to specify location, and attempted to use the expanded 0680a_idrv_10012.rar, windows states "unable to locate drivers for this device" heh, attempting next version,...

my good ol' purchased version of 2.71 which would explain why I could not open them let me see if I can download a shareware version,...

ack! in this download and attempted extraction,... 1 0680a_rdrv1017_raid_drv_.rar: Unknown method in 0680a_rdrv1017(raid drv)\680_RAIDlogo_drv\OS Drivers\DriverLanguageMap.xml 2 0680a_rdrv1017_raid_drv_.rar: Unknown method in 0680a_rdrv1017(raid drv)\680_RAIDlogo_drv\OS Drivers\pnp680r.cat 3 0680a_rdrv1017_raid_drv_.rar: Unknown method in 0680a_rdrv1017(raid drv)\680_RAIDlogo_drv\OS Drivers\PnP680r.mpd 4 0680a_rdrv1017_raid_drv_.rar: Unknown method in 0680a_rdrv1017(raid drv)\680_RAIDlogo_drv\OS Drivers\PnP680r.sys 5 0680a_rdrv1017_raid_drv_.rar: Unknown method in 0680a_rdrv1017(raid drv)\680_RAIDlogo_drv\OS Drivers\readme.txt 6 0680a_rdrv1017_raid_drv_.rar: Unknown method in 0680a_rdrv1017(raid drv)\680_RAIDlogo_drv\OS Drivers\SiI680r.inf 7 0680a_rdrv1017_raid_drv_.rar: Unknown method in 0680a_rdrv1017(raid drv)\680_RAIDlogo_drv\OS Drivers\SIISUPP.VXD 8 0680a_rdrv1017_raid_drv_.rar: Unknown method in 0680a_rdrv1017(raid drv)\680_RAIDlogo_drv\OS Drivers\Software Release Notes.doc 9 0680a_rdrv1017_raid_drv_.rar: Unknown method in 0680a_rdrv1017(raid drv)\680_RAIDlogo_drv\OS Drivers\TxtSetup.oem 10 0680a_rdrv1017_raid_drv_.rar: The file "0680a_rdrv1017(raid drv)\680_RAIDlogo_drv\OS Drivers" header is corrupt 11 0680a_rdrv1017_raid_drv_.rar: The file "0680a_rdrv1017(raid drv)\680_RAIDlogo_drv" header is corrupt 12 0680a_rdrv1017_raid_drv_.rar: The file "0680a_rdrv1017(raid drv)" header is corrupt

Thank you again all

I am using Win2ksp4 Advanced Server on a pre-built intel 667MHz 256ram system. I recently installed the Silicon Image Inc (Was: CMD Technology Inc) SiI 0680 (Was: PCI-0680) Ultra ATA133 EIDE Controller (purchase was without drivers/manual) I used Sandra to determine the exact type of device and proceeded to download and install the drivers (SiI PCI-680 ‘base driver’ Version 1.0.0.12 Release.) dated 1/24/2005 from SI's driver site. I then also installed SiI0680_x86_InstallSiICfg-1205.zip (which really did not provide me with any useful information.) After restarting the system, I received the following errors: Event Type: Error Event Source: Service Control Manager Event Category: None Event ID: 7026 Date: 19-Feb-05 Time: 10:25:20 User: N/A Computer: HOME-12 Description: The following boot-start or system-start driver(s) failed to load: Pnp680 ++++++ (also,...)

(also to be noted, SpinRite 6.0, a DOS based harddrive maintenance tool is able to read the drive(s) ) Thanks. CAH
