Yesterday I accidently clicked sleep when trying to shut down, everything went off so i clicked my mouse to try to wake back up but monitor couldnt detect singal, so I restarted the computer and ever since then when it starts it goes into this
Marvell 88SE91xx Adapter - BIOS Version 1.0.0.1029
Initializing...
Then OCZ something
Press (CTRL-S) or F4 to enter Raid utility

I have asus p8p67 deluxe with ocz revodrive as bootdrive, and two secondary storagedrive and one of them has windows on it, so when i try to boot up, it detects that and tries to boot from there which gets a BSOD and crashes. So i disconnect that drive, now it just wont detect any boot device.
I resetted my CMOS and got into BIOS and theres no sign of the revodrive, i replugged it and all.

Please help! any idea will be appreciated!!

when did you last update bios?

post from another thread


I am running the same RevoDrive X2 as the boot drive. The O.S. boots in about 10 seconds and the system closes down in about 4 seconds. You should have it positioned in the black #7 PCIe 2.0x16_3 slot.
.

When Windoze was first installed, the driver for RevoDrive had to first be installed. (The BIOS and the installing O.S. will not see RevoDrive without the driver installed.) Once that was acomplished, the drive was seen by the BIOS and O.S. and Windows installs on it. When you reboot after O.S. installation, BIOS and O.S. see the RevoDrive as a multi drive RAID array. NOTE: When you install Windoze, you can ONLY have the RevoDrive X2 installed. You cannot have any other hard drives present.

That being said, in the BIOS set the boot sequence with the RevoDrive as the first drive the system looks to when initializing the O.S. After this is accomplished and the system runs, then you can install as many other hard drives as you can afford. Just be certain the RevoDrive is the first on boot up.

That is the whole story and that is the way the RevoDrive X2 must be installed to work as a boot drive.
Make sure you turn off all defrag operations, all indexing operations, all sleep options, all power saving options must be set to OFF.
Turn off PCIe Link State Power Management (LSPM) in Windows 7 via Control Panel> Power Options> PCIe.

the revodrive driver is installed the first time i installed windows on it, everything worked fine until last night, until i clicked sleep. I updated my bio about 4 month ago. all other HDD are unplugged. I have revodrive's driver on a usb drive. I can only get into BIOS by press the CMOS reset everytime. Cannot get windows to boot up no matter what. I am so lost...

it seems like your hdd configeration file is on that hdd that you disconected.

plug it back in but set try other devices first in bios etc.

what might work is put the windows install disk in, press shift+f10 i think it is to open cmd and try to repair bootsector

g) At the DOS prompt type the following three commands:

bootrec.exe /fixmbr

bootrec.exe /fixboot (may return an 'Eliment not found' message)

bootrec.exe /RebuildBcd



i had a similar issue when i went to an ssd and forgot to backup the bootsector at the start of the drive


once you get it working or if you cant manage that.


put other disks back in wait for bsod and when that happens reset and keep hitting f10

select safe mode.


now click. start - run . type msconfig


now click on boot

click on the revodrive one and then on set as default.


add yourself a timeout of 30secs so you can see what you are doing as well then apply ok. and restart


let us know how this works for you

Thanks for the reply!!! but it doesnt work, ive tried the commands with the win7 disc, and installed fresh win7 on another HDD, booted up windows and tried to use Revodrive as secondary drive, nothing. cant find it even if i install the driver. tried to instal x86 and x64 drivers, nothing. Tried Boot menu in the msconfig, nothing, tried Disk management, nothing...cant see this revodrive
