SATARaid and SATALink Confusion

I have an Asus A7N8X-E Deluxe mainboard running Windows XP w/ SP1.

It seems like my RAID 1 set broke a couple of times when it shouldn't
so I thought maybe the drivers were to blame.

I downloaded the latest drivers from Asus and updated the driver to
1.0.0.33 and I also installed the latest SATARaid GUI software.

The driver update seems fine but when it seem like I have the SATALink
GUI running instead so I can't see any of the RAID info.

I have the driver with the "r" in it so that is supposed to indicate
the proper RAID driver.

I see people using the Link and RAID monikers interchangeably all over
the place so it is very confusing. The title bar of the SATA GUI says
Link, but the rest of the application uses the term RAID.

Has anyone run into this and maybe have a solution?

TIA,

-Jeremy

1.0.0.40 is the latest I know of.

Never seen the SATALink utility to which you refer, although I haven't
really taken much notice of the RAID utility.

Latest drivers are linked on my FAQ site in my sig.

Thanks for the info - nice site.

I tried the latest drivers you have and the GUI. When I start the
GUI, I get the Windows XP Critical noise .wav but nothing happens. I
don't see anything written to the event viewer either so I can't tell
why it's crashing. Have you seen anything like this before.

Nah, sorry - it works on my system, with 1 SATA drive (WD Raptor).

Jeremy,
I have heard of that before, probably because the same thing happens
to me :) I didn't seem to have this problem until I
formatted/re-installed XP. I have also been unable to determine why
it is 'crashing'.

Jeremy, I thought I would post a follow-up...

The 'crash' was happening on my computer due to DaemonTools being
installed. It is a SCSI CD-ROM emulator. I believe the SATAraid
program got confused as to which SCSI device it was supposed to be
talking to!
