Vista RC and SATA Raid 0
Please bear with me on this...
I have two WD Raptor SATA drives configured as RAID 0 on the built-in Promise interface on an Acer motherboard. Installing Vista went went fine, and its been running since RC1 was released. I also have a DVD+-RW configured as the primary device on the IDE0 channel. When I try to burn an audio CD from within Windows Media Player (default Vista v11) the system locks up and hangs before the second track finishes. I do a hard reset, and when the SATA controller initializes, it reports that my array is damaged and offline. If I go into the SATA utility, one of the discs is reported as off-line, possibly damaged. If I delete the array and recreate it, it comes back online and Vista will boot normally. This behavior occurs EVERY time I try to burn a disc from within media player, I've tried this several times with the exact same results each time. I'm at a total loss as the what the relationship between Media Player, my CD burner, and the SATA array is that could cause this behavior to occur. Burning a disc on an IDE channel should not disrupt a SATA array. The only thing I'm guessing is maybe I need updated Promise SATA drivers, but so far I have not seen anything for Vista. Any thoughts? |
