This is the board:

Biostar T-Force 6100 AM2

These are the files on the CD:

What does the readme file say?

lewislink · 09-07-2007, 10:10 AM

Nothing that tells me which files to use or even how to identify them. It is basically useless. I figured out on my own that I had to unzip the contents of a folder to make the RAID disc. I just, now, need to know which file is applicable.

Thanks for your reply

This is the chipset:

NVIDIA® GeForce 6100 / nForce 410

I have to put it in a reply because there doesn't seem to be any editing functions onthis forum.

You may find it simpler to download the SATA/RAID drivers from the Biostar support site . . it is usually more informative. Are you setting up a RAID array?

lewislink · 09-07-2007, 01:11 PM

Yes to the RAID array but the only drivers available are chipset drivers, and those will be exactly like what is on this CD. To find even what I found on this CD I had to look in the chipset file. The download will contain the same number of RAID drivers for many versions of boards.

One reason I don't use Biostar boards . . really poor support. Without seeing the contents of the folders, it's not possible to answer your question. Unless someone comes along who has fought this battle before.

Here are the contents of the CD from opening it in "Explore" to all the way through the "RAID dick" folder to the contents of each RAID folder.

If you need more info, let me know. All of the RAID folders will contain a version for 2k, XP, and XP64. One folder combines 2k and XP and is why it shows just two selections.

Please pardon my typo in the post above. Since there is no way of editing, I have to ask you to overlook the mistake. The word should be "disk".
