Hello rhatch,

I understand that you are facing booting issues on your system after updating Intel® Rapid Storage (Intel® RST)

In order to assist you can you please provide us with your system model and brand?

Do you remember which version of RST did you update, or which one was installed before the update?

Have you tried any specific troubleshooting?

I hope to hear from you soon.

Best Regards,

Thanks Diego for trying to help me!

In order to assist you can you please provide us with your system model and brand?

CyberPower PC - built your own PC.

Motherboard - MSI X99S Gaming 7 4 way Crossfirex

Hard Drive - 2 TB SATA III

CPU - Intel I7 - 5930k processor

Raid - RAID 1 Mirroring

Do you remember which version of RST did you update, or which one was installed before the update?

I don't remember which one was installed before the update. I did go to the MSI website to download the correct files for the MSI X99S Gaming motherboard which I think this is the one I downloaded and Installed, since the install I can't boot to windows 10.

Intel Rapid Storage Technology Driver

Version

14.8.0.1042

Release Date

2016-05-11

File Size

13.93 MB

Have you tried any specific troubleshooting?

1. I was afraid to do any thing because I don't want to lose the data on my Raid Drive.

2. Since I couldn't get into windows, Windows try to do it own repair and said it can't repair the problem.

3. When I tried to view the c: from the command prompt it has a file size of 329 MB and not the 2 TB I expected.

4. This morning I found the original motherboard driver that came with the system. I feel, If I could access the hard drive, I could copy the correct Intel RST files to the correct folders the system might start back up.

Also, I noticed in the BIOS setting, the SATA mode was set to AHCI and not RAID. I did change it to RAID to see if it would boot but it did not boot up.

Thanks for your help, If you could help by Phone, I would really appreciate it.

Hi Luis,

I think I might have install the wrong software. I install the Intel rapid storage technology software and I should have installed the intel Matrix storage manager.

Is there a way to remove the intel rapid storage technology software and reinstall the intel Matrix storage manager?

Thanks

I can see that you mentioned an agent called Luis, however is not part of this support ticket.

Based on the brief description of your case, your machine was not booting, however I can see that you sent a report and scan of your system, is that issue solved?

Is the computer booting?

In order to send you the report and scan of my system, I purchase two new drives and was able to use an older backup I had to get my system backup and running, but my data is very old and not current. Is this a way to mount the two drives and pull the current data off those drives or is their a way to remove the new IRST software I installed and revert it back to the one I had before this issue started.

I can't believe all this happen because I updated my IRST software.

Luis sends me e-mails but they don't show up on you community support group page. I hope he is agent of Intel. I will send you a copy of his response, please see below.

Luis's last response was as follows,

1-Attempt to access the RAID drives information from a separate supported PC.

2- Seek assistance at a local computer shop, that would help with recovery data tools or with the drive manufacturer.

My response back to Luis was as follows.

How do I attempt to access the RAID drives information from a separate supported PC.

1. Does separated PC have to use RAID?
2. Can I just add it as a SATA drive to the other PC?
3. Can I plug it into a USB docking station and will this work?

As you can see I'm not familiar with doing this.

Also, I purchase two new drives and was able to use an older backup I had to get my system backup in running, but my data is older and not current. Is this a way to mount the two drives and pull the current data off those drives?

I tried connecting my RAID drive to another PC and couldn't view any of the data. I also tried using the USB docking station and that didn't work either, I still couldn't view the data. I think this is because the I connected the RAID drive to a SATA PC Non-RAID so it could view the data.

I think Luis has giving up on me because he never response to my last e-mail and his last comment said Seek assistance at a local computer shop.

I keep asking everyone the following questions but no one answers my questions? See below.

1) Is there a way to mount the two drives and pull the current data off those drives?

2) Is their a way to remove the new IRST software I installed and revert it back to the one I had before this issue started.

Diego Please don't give up on me, I need help. Is there another level of support that would be available to me?

Thanks for your help!
