I have set up mirrored Raid for my W7 64 bit operating system using a Gigabyte GA-P35-DQ6 mobo. The Jmicron driver loaded ok and the Raid works fine. However, within the extracted driver download, GIGABYTE SATA2 RAID Driver version 1.17.50.2, from the Gigabyte mobo site there are a number of files which I suspect include software to manage the Raid from within windows in the event that for example the two HD drives get out of sync. Within the extracted driver files there are other files / folders including a W7 Application folder in which there are files and folders as below.
Folders:
jmide
re
x64
Files:
DIFxAPT.dll
IDEDrvSetup.exe
xIDE64Setup.exe
xIDESetup.exe
xInsD64.dll
xInsDrv.dll
xInsIDE.exe
xLhDrv.dll
xLink.exe
xRaidAPI.dll
xRaidSetup.exe
xSrvSetup.exe
The jmide folder contains jmide.cat and jmide.inf
The res folder contains processing.avi, raidlogo.ico and a number of bmp files.
The x64 folder contains DIFxAPI.dll and xLHD64.dll
I had an out of sync Raid, continued to boot into windows and double clicked xRaidSetup which ran but with some minor errors flagged eg unable to find logo but failed to install. However, it did recognise the raid problem and fixed it. The problem is that the programme did not properly install and it will not run again.
I have also double clicked the other exe files in an attempt to install the controller with no success. Currently should the two raid drives go out of sync I have to repair within the bios which takes about two and a half hours before booting into windows . So does anyone have experience of this driver package and can advise how the raid configuration software can be installed to run within windows 7 64 bit.
