@ Irb:
Thanks for the HardwareIDs, which verify, that your system has an MCP51 Southbridge. You can install the nForce SATARAID drivers v11.1.0.43, which are the latest ones delivered by NVIDIA, and the matching RAIDTOOL application v11.1.0.43, which are all part of the NVDIA nForce chipset packege 15.For this If you want to , which is supported by the nForce driver pack v15.57.

These are the components:

Ethernet Driver (v73.30) WHQL
SATAIDE Driver (v11.1.0.43) WHQL
SATARAID Driver (v11.1.0.43) WHQL
RAIDTOOL Application (v11.1.0.43)
SMBUS Driver (v4.79) WHQL
SMU Driver (v2.08) WHQL
Installer (v8.36)

Here is the download link: >64bit NVIDIA nForce driverpack v15.57 WHQL for Vista/Win7/Win8 x64<

Note: The originally included Ethernet NAM folder has been removed by me, because it is very big sized and not recommended to install it.

EDIT:
@ SoNic67:
The user Irb has an nForce RAID system and probably doesn't use SSDs for his RAID1 array. So neither TRIM nor a third party SATA Adapter will be an option for him.

Sorry, I didn't mean to reply to him. I was just following up with my previous thread about the SSD and TRIM... and reporting what I ended up doing.

Hello sir. Could you help me with mine? My problem is I have an Unknown Device coprocessor and it's Nvidia nForce 430 MCP61. My motherboard is EMX-MCP61D3-iCafe. My OS is Windows 8.1 x64. I downloaded and installed the [A. WHQL certified nForce Driverpacks] x64 but still unknown device.

Please let me know the DeviceID (named DEV_XXXX).
You get it by running the Device Manager, doing a right click onto the "unknown" device and choosing the options "Properties" > "Details" > "Property" > "HardwareIDs".

@ bunny183:

AFAIK it is the NVIDIA nForce SMU driver, which will support your "unknown" device.
The 64bit driver is attached.

Thank you for taking time to reply. I feel like I'm closer to fixing my hd's uncalled freezes. Have a good day!

I suspect, that you either haven't downloaded the package completely or you used an outdated WinRAR version to unzip the package. By the way: The INF file had been modified by me to make the driver compatible with more nForce chipsets.
Here is the latest original SMU driver, which matches the HardwareID you ad posted and should work for your system:

Hello everyone!
I am an Italian and sorry my translation.
I have an ASUS M2N-E motherboard with raid controllers and 2 hard drives in Raid.
The clean install of Windows 8, without loading the Sata raid driver recognizes the hard disk and the installation is successful.
All 'pc start, however, the boot installed to windows 8 is not recognized as boot and fails to start.
Once, when installavo windows XP, when installing the hard disk did not recognize me and I had to load the nvidia sata drivers with F6 and then everything was ok.
If I do the same thing, trying to load the new drivers for the Nvidia controller can be sure everything is working?
What driver do you recommend to load the F6 option for windows 8.1?
thanks

Which Windows 8 architecture (32bit or 64bit) did you install resp. do you want to install onto your nForce RAID array?

Zitat
All 'pc start, however, the boot installed to windows 8 is not recognized as boot and fails to start.

If you want to install any Operating System onto a HDD, which previously was a member of a RAID array, you have to break the RAID array and set the members to non-RAID disks, before you can start with the OS installation. Otherwise the OS will not detect the drive, which is according to the boot sector still member of a RAID array, but unvisible, because the NVIDIA nForce SATA Controller is actually not running in "RAID" mode (wrong BIOS setting).
Otherwise the You can prevent this problem, if you unplug all storage devices - except the one where you want to get the OS installed - before starting the OS installation.

Contrary to Windows XP the newer Windows Operating Systems (Vista and Win8) have NVIDIA nForce RAID drivers on board. Since the MCP55 RAID Controller of your mainboard doesn't belong to the "LEGACY mode" ones (which do support SATA and P-ATA RAID arrays simultaneously), you should be able to get Windows 8 installed onto your nForce RAID array without loading any special nForce RAID driver.
Nevertheless I recommend to prepare an USB Flash drive with a suitable F6 driver for the case, that your RAID array should not be detected by the Win8/8.1 Setup.
If you should not know a suitable F6 driver for your MCP55 RAID array, please let me know the architecture (32bit or 64bit) of your Windows 8/8.1 DVD. Then I wiill send you a link to a suitable SATARAID driver.
Note: The F6 driver has to be WHQL certified. The Win8/8.1 Setup will not accept any unsigned or modded driver.

Thanks for the quick response, you have been very kind. The operating system in question is 64bit w8.1. In the past I have changed S.O. and I've never taken apart the raid but I had to load the nVidia drivers. My card M2N-E does not support booting from DVD ROM SATA, PATA in only. For the installation of w8 I used a USB DVD player and there was no need to load any nVidia drivers, the installation has recognized the 2 hard drives in raid (2 * 160) from 320 gigabytes. Windows 8 64-bit part, but only with the external USB DVD drive and inserted the installation disc inside. How do I remove the DVD and reboot, the boot fails, can not find boot (preferably bootable CD ROM 1st, 2nd harddrive (raid controller).)

Your system obviously doesn't find the bootloader (Master Boot Record) within the track zero of your RAID array.
This is what I recommend to do:
1. Boot off the Win8.1 x64 DVD and choose the "Repair" option. For details you may look into >this< guide.
2. Unplug the USB DVD drive before you are going to reboot.

If you should ever need a 64bit F6 driver for your MCP55 RAID array, you can use the attached package.

Thank you forever.
I already tried to repair the system, but the repair utilities boot windows 8 tells me that it is impossible to repair :(
Now I try to reinstall w8 with the option f6 and load the drivers that you posted.
I will reply you as it is

EDIT1: During the new installation (with external reader usb), the system tells the hard drive normally, I clicked "load driver" and the other with a combined usb I loaded the drivers that you posted and uploaded them normally. I hope the installation of windows 8, now create a boot suitable for being recognized by the motherboard and run windows 8.

EDIT2: UUUUAAAAUUUUUUUU !!!!!!!
Everything ok !!!!
the system worked, I loaded the sata raid driver that you posted in the installation and now windows 8 part quietly without dvd player usb inserted!
Thank you !!
