4.30.1 Freezes During Installs (possible RAID issue)

[Abelius]

I totally agree with Mounty, because I almost have an indentical setup as him:

-Windows XP SP3 (clean install)
-2 SATA HDD RAID 0 with NVRaid driver (NF4 Intel mobo)

I have random system freezes when I use an image located in the RAID, and I didn't have any problems with the previous version, which I've downloaded from another website (not available in your website anymore).

That would explain why the weird behavior is happening on my desktop (3xSATA2 RAID5 - nForce4) and not on my laptop with the same image files ...

[FesterSilently]

Ah-ha!

That's it! All my friends and I have RAIDed setups! But not just NF4 (although that's all *I've* got): one friend has NF7 and the other has an Intel (X38 I think?) RAID going.

Hope that helps.

Same problem, same setup, same solution as the people before me.

Using nvidia raid (M2N-SLI Deluxe, nforce 570), and it fails when burning with the RAID disks. 4.30.1 freezes with it, 4.30 works fine.

I have the same problem.

When the image is on my RAID drive, Daemon freezes my Computer. If the Image is on my local non-RAID drive, then everything works perfectly.

Version 4.12.2 would cause my computer to freeze when loading any mini images from the RAID drive - the rest worked fine. Version 4.30.1 causes the computer to freeze if any Image is loaded from the RAID drive.

Daemon Tools used to be able to load images from my RAID drive without any problems. Please fix this bug!

yeah glad I found this thread.. I've been trying to use .iso files that i had for years and every time it freezes during installs like all of yours.

I also have the same problem:

NForce4 SLI
NVIDIA RAID 0 with 2x 250 GB Western Digital YS
GForce 8800 GT

It works perfectly from a HDD not as part of a RAID !

THANK YOU VERY MUCH !!!

The RAID bug still hasn't been fixed in Version 4.30.2.

It's due to NForce chipset. I've an X38 Chipset and I'm using ICH9R Southbridge in Raid 0 mode and no problems at all.

P.S. Please anyone having raid issues, post entire configuration (I mean also Operating System and not only the raid controller).
