SiSRaid.sys could not be found
« on: February 03, 2007, 12:35:20 PM »
System  Microsoft Windows XP, Home Edition, Version 2002, Service Pack 2
I have got as much information as possible to explain my problem, I have checked the SCSI and Raid Controllers and done a update but that has not helped my problem
I do not know when or how this SiSRaid.sys was or if remove are what it is for.

When I log on it comes up with :-
Select the operating system to start:-

Windows Microsoft XP Home Edition (if I press return in time I get logged on to my computer)

Windows Microsoft XP Set up (comes up with SisRiad.sys could not be found)

If I am not quick enough it automatically goes on the Windows Microsoft XP Set Up when it does so the message: Press F6 if you need to install third party SCSI or Raid driver...

What comes up is insert disk into drive A  and press enter, the maunfactures have not supplied me with a floppy disc so I can do nothing

They supplied a CD Windows XP Home Edition, I am told if I run this I will loose all my information stored on my computer so that not so good

I have look through the internet there is alot about it, but with computers fairly new to me I have no idea what it means, what I have worked out is I need to install a SiSRaid.sys on my computer which is a Windows XP.
Can some one help me please :-?
If you can help came you tell me in  ;D step by step what I should do please :o help me

Or where I could go to download this SiSRaid.sys

It's possible your RAID drivers have gotten corrupted...does this machine have a SATA Hard drive in it ? ?
If so you need to locate the RAID drivers for it and re-install them...

Are you, in fact, running RAID on this machine?

If you choose the first option then everything is fine?

The other day I found a web page that if I am having problems with the Raid I should unistall and then reinstall I followed it through, so turn my computer off then logged on again, but my computer still had the same message SiSRaid.sys can not be found, I even tried it this afternoon and it still has the same problem.

I went through the tabs the first one Device type, Location PCI bus, device 5, function 0

Device status
this device is working properly
If having problems go to troubleshoot, that was no help.

Property Tab
was blank

Driver Tab
SiS 180 Raid Controller

Update which I have done

Unistall done and reinstalled

Resources
10/ Range  E300-E307
etc
then at the bottom it reads No conflicts :-?

So I am still at a loss, I fixed the problem with the motherboard I now have my floppy drive back, but to tell you the truth I was hoping it would fix the problem I am having with logging on, but it is not that easy,worse luck. :'( :o

When you edit your original post it makes it harder to follow...

The RAID drivers should be on your MBoard Driver CD and or available at their website.

    If you are not using raid and don't intend to, go into bios and disable the raid controller (assuming onboard raid). Go into device manager and remove it from the system. If it is in your start-up, uncheck it. There is no use fooling with drivers that you don't use, don't need, don't want.
    If you don't stand for something, you'll fall for anything.
