Getting a weird Promise RAID (Win XP) error with my ASUS P4C800 Deluxe
I am running Windows XP Pro SP1 with the ASUS P4C800 Deluxe motherboard.
Although I have only ONE hard drive (Maxtor 120 Gig), I am running it in RAID (SATA) mode via a Promise FastTrak 378 built-in controller (driver 1.0.1.37), which is built-in to my motherboard. I've had this system now for 9 months without any problems. However, lately I have been tracking my "Management | Event Viewer | System Log" and it seems that when I startup the computer, I always have 2 Errors logged. Both of them have the following entry: -------------------------- Event Type: Error Event Source: Service Control Manager Event Category: None Event ID: 7000 Date: 2/6/2004 Time: 5:56:23 AM User: N/A Computer: VIOLIN1 Description: The Promise RAID message server service failed to start due to the following error: The system cannot find the file specified. For more information, see Help and Support Center at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp. ----------- When I go to the link that is given here, I get this information from Microsoft: ------------- Details Product: Windows Operating System ID: 7000 Source: Service Control Manager Version: 5.0 Symbolic Name: EVENT_SERVICE_START_FAILED Message: The %1 service failed to start due to the following error: %2.

"The Promise RAID message server service failed to start"
That means in simple english that the file required is not installed - note that it is for the Message Server, not the driver itself. You could try resolving this by upgrading to the latest proven drivers. The message server may be part of the upgrade. Don't deinstall the raid drivers! - Tim "M. B." wrote in message ...

Why are you running it on the RAID controller? There are non-RAID SATA
ports on that board. -- DaveW "M. B." wrote in message ... I am running Windows XP Pro SP1 with the ASUS P4C800 Deluxe motherboard.

Dave:
I was going to do a true RAID system originally, but then decided to keep just to one drive. As I never had any problems, I just decided to keep my single drive connected to the RAID connector. It's been working just fine for the last 6 months. I just accidently noticed this error at boot-up. - Michael "DaveW" wrote in message news:nGVUb.188880$5V2.982110@attbi_s53...

this error probably occurs at boot time before the primary raid drivers are fully loaded... try clearing your prefetch folder
there is a program floating around that will do this for you that should resolve things but if your system runs fine other wise and if your event logs are not full of these entries just ignore it /HTH "M.
