Hey edv.kleini....

How are you getting on? I hope you are successful in the installation of Win10.1607.

I'll monitor my Win10 for a few days and see how it goes and report back.

@ All Forums member on this thread.

In the meantime I would just like to say a BIG THANK YOU!... to Fernando, Nuhi, ENAJonas...etc. The list goes on. All people that have contributed and all the testers... and lets not forget - pepsidave48653 who originally reported the issue! :) I know MS and Nvidia couldn't be arsed to lift a finger and help - but this just shows how a group of people working together - Can actually make a difference. Yeahhhhhh it's been painful but we got there in the end. I hope everybody is successful in getting their RAID arrays back.

I was soooo close to giving up and throwing the towel in and going back to Windows 7. Hopefully now I don't need too.

Once again. Cheers.

Kind Regards,
Kenny.

Great to hear we finally got there!!!!

@kingkenny:
Congrats to your success to get Win10 v1607 properly clean installed onto your nForce RAID array and thank you very much for your detailed report.
The SHUTDOWN problem may be caused by processes, which were still working in the background and prevent the immediate shutdown. Especially after a fresh OS installation there is still much to do by the OS (installing new features etc.).

Thanks Fernando, great job!

Regarding your concern of cumulative update messing with the replaced driver.
That is a genuine concern, even though a normal update should not replace that driver often if ever.
Of course when going from something like 1511 to 1607, a new branch, then yes it will most likely be overwritten as the base version changes.
That is why I suggest that, Fernando, your next task should be to mimic scsidev.inf and create entirely new one, e.g. ferndev.inf, while keeping the original, and yours would have newer date and version in it so that Windows picks it. Not sure if it's possible to give a future date like year 2020, that would be even more future proof.

To bypass any such risks, for those that use NTLite, I recommend to disable Windows Update and switch to manual updating via this method.
Basically it means update the original ISO with the latest cumulative, modify it as you like and then run setup.exe from its root to Refresh the host.
Next NTLite has a wizard which does these few steps even more streamlined, so you'll be able to do it in a few clicks and sit back until it's done.

Since Fernando solved the issue, I'm reducing priority on the push driver feature, ping me on a PM if there is a reason for it in the future.

inserted: scsidev.inf v10.0.14393.0 dated 06/21/2016 mod+signed by me today (09/25/2016)
All I have done was the addition of a *.CAT file entry and the removal of the following lines:

• %GenericScsiArray% = NODRV, ScsiArray
• GenericScsiArray = "Generic SCSI Array Device"

Hi all,

Have been away this last week but sounds like great progress! Well done everyone!
I also had problems with shutdown after I managed to get latest Windows ISO working on my nv raid system. Not sure what causes it as was never a problem before.
It can be fixed by going into the power saving settings, then advanced settings and un tick fast shutdown (or fast startup can't remember exactly but it's the top setting). This then ensures system shuts down normally.

@fernando - Is there a newer ISO you like me to test?

Thanks,
Steve.

Hi Dieter,

Are you going to be doing any more final testing and maybe the release of a new Windows image? When possible please supply a copy of your modified scsidev.inf. I would like a copy for future reference and also will help me should I need to replace it on any further Windows Images.

Ermm... how did you get around the deletion of the original scsidev.inf before replacing (copy and paste?) with the newer one - without getting the errors about permissions. The only thing that worked for me was the "take Ownership reg file" which I had to use (this is on the loaded WIMS and then explore to mounted area) on the directory folder or the file itself before I was able to copy it over before applying changes in Nlite.

The correct procedure for replacing it with a digitally signed variant of the modded driver would be handy to know. :)

Windows 10 needed further updates and a reboot this morning. Again. No issues. I still have a nVidia Raid Array present :)

I can confirm I see some errors in the "Event Viewer" Although as edv.Kleini reported - they dont appear to affect the OS. I have attached images. I am not sure we can do anything about these and we may just have to live with them.

Like a few others have reported I still have the SHUTDOWN ISSUE. I will try the recommendation from SteveyB - It can be fixed by going into the power saving settings, then advanced settings and un-tick fast shutdown (or fast startup can't remember exactly but it's the top setting). This then ensures system shuts down normally.

Kind Regards,
Kenny

Hi SteveyB,

Can you confirm the fix for the Shutdown issue. I've check my Balanced Plan and the clicked the blue txt for "Change Advanced Power Settings" A box window appears but I am unable to locate any settings reference for the un-tick fast shudown?

Ahhh... I think I have found it. Is it the menu on the left stating "Choose what the Power Buttons do?" which then gives you some shutdown settings. You have to click the "Change Setting that are curreently Unavalable" to allow you to un-tick the "Turn on Faster Startup" box. Thanks. That works a treat :)

Cheers,
Kenny.

Since the customization of the SATARAID drivers is much easier and the chances, that they will work, may be higher than with the modded LEGACY ones, I have attached the freshly modded and signed 32/64bit nForce SATARAID drivers v6.99.
Please test them and report, whether they work or not with Win10 v1607.
