I just upgraded to Windows 10, and have an issue I hope someone can help me with.
I had Intel RST running two Raid 1 volumes, both with two 300Gb drives, one for C: the other for D:
Now, it seems I still have the Raid Volumes, but no "Window" unto them as I did before by running RST
from the task bar link.

I used Pause on Boot to see the screen that flashed by, and it shows:
"Intel Matrix Storage Manager Option Rom 6.1.0.1002 ICH8R" Looks like it reverted back to Matrix Storage Manager
instead of RST.
It shows two Raid volumes, and the correct drives.
Five drives total, two for Volume_C, two for Volume_D and my external back up drive (L:).
However, "Ctrl I" no longer gets me to the Intel configuration.

Bios only shows three drives, the C, D, and L drives

When I check the drives in Control Panel, the drivers show Intel Raid 1 Volume, driver is Microsoft 10.0010586.0,
dated 6/21/2006. I googled that number and it seems to be for many things, not just drive drivers.

I am concerned now that I seemingly have no way to monitor the Raid volumes health (IF I actually have the Raid volumes),
nor any way to modify the volumes.

System is Asus P5B-Deluxe
Intel E8400 Core 2 Duo
Chipset Intel P965/G965
Southbridge Intel 8380 1HB/HR (ICH8/R)
Intel Desktop/Workstation/Server Express Chipset SATA Raid Controller, ver 13.2.0.1022, 2/19/2015
C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\iaStorAV.sys

System seems to be working well, I just want a way to insure the raids are working correctly, and be able to
monitor and modify them in the future. I have read through the forum for quite a bit now, and see reference to
Raid Driver 11.2.0.1006 as being the best one for ICH8R. Is there any reasonable way to get this installed without
"Starting Over"? I am reasonably proficient in basic computer build and upgrades (My computer has been through many)
But much of the technical talk here is over my level of competency. 8>)

Thanks for the unexpected FAST reply!
I will be looking this over in detail, but the thought of a clean Win 10 Install, and the complete rebuilding of my system gives me heart problems! Every time I have done that in the past, it took DAYS to get back close to what I had.

"4. Reinstall the previously used Intel RST Drivers & Software Set."
Unfortunately, I do not know the version that I installed years ago.

"1. It would be a good idea to update the Intel MSM RAID ROM module of your mainboard BIOS to an Intel RST one (v10.1.0.1008 or - even better - v11.2.0.1527). "

Can that be done without trashing the system as it is now?

I finally got the courage to update the Raid Rom, by downloading your Rom file. Now at version 11.2.0.1527. That went well. Thanks!
I want to get my Console working, but since the current Chipset Driver is 13.2.0.1002 ( installed by the Win 10 upgrade), afraid that the downgrade to the suggested 11.2.0.1006 would cause problems due to the downgrade warnings. Is there any way to get my RST Console working now?

Thanks for your fast response!
I downloaded the ROM file here: https://onedrive.live.com/?id=5014229B9E...014229B9E752333, used the ASUS P5B one, as that is the motherboard I have.
Installed it with ASUS EZ Flash 2 utility.
I assume I can uninstall the Chipset Driver installed by the Win 10 upgrade (13.2.0.1002), then install 11.7.4.1001, and NOT 11.2.0.1006?

Yes, it is the Raid Storage controller. All this is a bit confusing to me. 8>)

The Raid Rom is now 11.2.0.1527

Can I delete the driver 13.2.0.1022 and replace it with 11.7.4.1001 (or any other later driver that will work with IHC8R? I just want my RST Console to work. There is none now.

I do not have anything showing up in Programs, so I do not think Console is installed now. The only Intel items under "Programs and features" are Intel Driver Update Utility, and Intel Proset Wireless software for my WiFi card.
The only thing I can find in Control Panel is the Raid Driver, 13.2.0.1022.
Looks like the Win 10 upgrade installed the driver, but not the console.

I see .net 4.0 (includes 3.5 and 3.0) installed and checked on.

You are absolutely correct, I should not have typed that from "memory". It is 3.5, not 4.0.
This stuff is hurting my brain. 8>)

I will try the new driver and software this weekend, when I will have time to restore if anything goes wrong. Want to be sure I have a full backup of both Raid volumes, just in case.

I really appreciate the time you experts are taking to help me. Learning more than I really wanted to know, but we all have to start some place. This windows 10 upgrade went quite well, except for this RAID problem.
