Hard Disk Monitoring

Yep, I can confirm v4.71.2 is detecting automatically disks . That's the way. Good job hdsentinel . Thank you again for your time.

And yesterday I've done tests. As shown in pictures attached, default has been installed version 6.0.6000.6210 dated nov. 2007. I've started first via via_driver-v5.8. 1. installed vista-64 bit version without problems, rebooted the system and check is raid controller recognize booth disks. The answ...

Thanks for clarifications but seems not be so simply. Entire os is installed on this raid volume, if something goes wrong when changing/updating driver, machine won't be able to boot ... Not clear for me if you suggest to install 32bit or 64bit version of vista drivers. I've suppose you are referrin...

Hi again and thanks for answer. I did not give up too, but I was to busy today to focus in this direction. As I already said, as time exist a driver "claimed" to work for w2k3-64 bit version, we should give it a try. And unpacked today v5.8 and v-6.10a driver and saw that we have this driv...

And today, viatech answered. See below: [snip] Hi, Thanks for pointing us to the forum discussion. It looks like the issue is not a bug, but it is because the operating systems moved on since the driver for VT6421 was made. Unfortunately VT6421 is an legacy, end-of-life chipset and will not receive ...

Yes, will be continued. Already submitted this thread in attention to viatech.com and got the following reply:

"Thanks for the report. We are following up internally and will let you know the
next step."

I mean that I can see booth disks and check as it is displayed by via_tool. Nothing more. And coming back to our problem, I can confirm, following your steps I have the same like you, one zeroed report for one of raid disks. Your assumption is correct. So indeed is a bug, but not in HDS. It is in vi...

1. report has been submitted again to your developers (please check). 2. I do not believe that via_raid driver is the root cause of the problem. As previously and already mentioned (but my post has not been approved to be displayed here) I've tested also via_raid6.10a (latest version) and the same b...

This is the correct attitude, focus to solve the issue.

Using /forceraid switch help to detected second disk (see attach), but it is presented as not supported.

I cannot see any reason to not display my messages. If you want to be transparent, display it for everybody in order people to be aware that something is wrong and HDS is not working as expected. That's the reason I post in a forum and did not contacted on private. On the other part, Report -> send ...
