@ csubuka:
Welcome at Win-RAID Forum!

I have a small problem, that I should revert from iRST 11.7 to some 10.xxxx. The problem is that my ThinkPad T500 does not let me safe remove the ultrabay caddy hdd. HDD keeps, spinning, the ultrabay led is still lighted up.

What lets you think, that only a "downgrade" of the Intel AHCI driver version will solve your problem?

Can I revert somehow without messing up the whole system as you mentioned in your thread here?
*Or should I follow this thread first: http://forums.pcsx2.net/Thread-Rapid-Storage-11-5a-Bugs-and-removal-notes

You can replace the v11.7 RST(e) driver by any RST driver to v11.2.0.1006 up without messing up your system, but after having done that I recommend to look at the iaStorF.sys entries and - if applicable - follow Squall Leonhart's advices.
By the way: This is only valid for Windows 7, not for Windows 8, because Win8 doesn't install/use the SCSI filter driver at all.

Zitat
First revert to Microsoft AHCI (random BSODs, but worked before, annoying though), do the aforementioned procedure than install a 10.xx driver from your links?

If I were you, I wouldn't install any Intel RST driver of the v10 series. I would take the v11.2.0.1006 WHQL.

Thank you very much for your answer.

Well upgrade did not solve my problem, so only downgrade can possibly. With basic Windows drivers I was able to safe removethe caddy hdd, but now it is not possible anymore (after starting to use IRST drivers). Never tried Matrix Storage for this function, since it did not have any TRIM function for my Intel 520... that is absolutely necessary for me. Even more than caddy safe remove.

Other gys I know with thinkpads have the safe remove feature with some of the iRST drivers... so some should work perfectly... Will try your suggestion now...

*What else could cause problems like this? I can not see any chipset driver I installled in the Control Panel... just installed the VGA and other parts like modem, gigabit lan etc...

Regards and thanks

@ csubuka:

There is a tool, which may let you "safely remove" your caddy HDD without changing your currently running Intel RST driver.
Its name is "HotSwap!" and you can get it >here<.

Ok, I now it, but it was natively supported before in WIndows with Thinkpad machines. Now it is working again with the 11.2 driver... Thanks, great thread you got here!

@ ex58:
Thanks for the info and the link.
I had already seen the announcement at Station-Drivers some hours ago, but we all had to wait until the download was available there.

@ all:
Today Station-Drivers has published the first Intel RST(e) drivers from the v13.5 development branch. They have the version v13.5.0.1056, are dated 10/09/20914 and WHQL certified.
For details you may look >here<.

Update of the start post

Changelog:

new: 32/64bit Intel RST(e) drivers v13.5.0.1056 WHQL dated 10/09//2014 (shown within the Device Manager as being dated 08/22/2014)
new: Intel RSTe Drivers & Software Set v13.5.0.1056 WHQL dated 10/09/2014

The included AHCI drivers are natively only usable with Intel 8- and 9-Series Chipsets. In RAID mode all Intel Chipset systems from ICH8R/M up are supported (except X79 running in RSTe RAID mode with DEV_2826). Supported are only Operating Systems from Windows 7 and Server 2008 up.
Thanks to Station-Drivers for having published the source package.

Hi Fernando,

I have a question I was hoping you could help me with.

Today, I downloaded version 13.2.4.1000 RST Setup.exe from Intel's website. When I tried to install it I got the following message: 'Platform not supported'. The last version I used before this one was 13.1.0.1058, and that worked perfectly (I have now reverted back to this version).

I'm running Win 7 x64, and my chipset is Z77 (Asus Maxmus V Extreme). ACHI mode is enabled in BIOS. I have had no issues with past versions, but 13.2.4.1000 is not installing due to the 'Platform not supported' error.

Is this normal?

Also, what version of the RSTsetup.exe would you recommend for my configuration? (I only have 1 drive in my system; an OCz Vertex 4 512GB)

Leon

The simple reason for this message is, that Intel 7-Series Chipsets as yours are not supported anymore by the newest original Intel RST drivers from v13.2 series up (nevertheless you will be able to use them, but then you will have to install a modded variant). Only Intel 8- and 9-Series are nativelöy supported by the Intel RST drivers v13.2.x.xxxx and v13.5.x.xxxx. Not even X99 mainboards are natively supported by them.

If you want the best possible performance, I recommend to uninstall the RST Software from within the Control Panbel and to manually install the latest Intel RST driver v13.1.0.1058 WHQL from within the Device Manager. The Intel RST Software is not really needed for AHCI systems, but may drop your system performance due to the Services running in the background.

Many thanks, Fernando!

I will take your advice and install the driver via device manager. What is the easiest way to do this? Will I need to download a different file, or will the SetupRST.exe work using the manual method?

Leon

Instead of the "Intel RST(e) Drivers & Software Set" you have to download the 32bit resp. 64bit Intel RST(e) AHCI & RAID drivers you want to install.
Before you start the manual installation from within the Device Manager (by doing a right click onto the listed Intel AHCI Controller and choosing the "Update Software" option), you should uninstall the currently running Intel RST Software by using the "Add/remove Software" feature of the Control Panel.

>Here< is the link to the 64bit Intel RST(e) drivers v13.1.0.1058 WHQL.
Here is the requested guide:
1. Dowenload the linked driver and unzip it somewhere on any of your storage drives.
2. Uninstall the RST Software from within the Control Panel ("Add/Remove Software") and reboot.
3. Enter the "IDE ATA/ATAPI Controllers" section of the Device Manager.
4. Right click onto the listed Intel AHCI Controller (maybe named "Standard 1.0 AHCI Serial ATA Controller") and choose the options "Properties" > "Driver".
5. If the Intel RST(e) driver v13.1.0.1058 should be already (resp. still) running, there is nothing to do for you.

If another driver should be shown, choose the button "Update Driver Software", choose the option "Browse my Computer" and navigate to the folder, which contains the unzipped driver files.
Then let the OS install the driver.
After the next reboot your Intel SATA ports will use the just installed Intel AHCI driver.
