Just wondering if I should update my BIOS?

I ask this because upgrading from the 5 to the 6 I somehow lost my RAID0 setup. Nothing was done other than the flash and I'm scared now updating again..

Anyone willing to calm my fears? lol

heh

You lost your RAID (same thing happened to me) because you had the checkbox checked to reset your CMOS. All you have to do is go back into the Advanced Options and set the SATA to RAID mode and everything will be back to normal. I've updated (and downgraded) several times now with no issues. Just have to remember to change that one setting back

+1 ^^

After each flash you must load optimized defaults, then set your ram voltage ONLY. Then save/apply/reboot BACK to the BIOS and set all your SATA/Disk related settings aging BEFORE you load windows otherwise you will corrupt your Arrays.

And yes, Loading Optimized is a must as part of the flash process as it sets some hidden things per your hardware that you cannot manually set

Here is a Qflash Guide I wrote up, for anyone else who it may help later on who reads this >>>

Well it wasn't that I lost the RAID config in the BIOS I actually lost the stripe

Not sure why.. Both drivers were fine as Member Drives and after flashing 7a they came up unidentified. I couldn't get them to synch up or repair even after downgrading.

I just ended up re-initializing the stripe and re-install Vista, again.

I flashed up to 7b after posting that and taking a risk and it worked fine and still running. Again, not sure why 5-6-7a failed the RAID but oh well .. Still running now and that's what's important
