I noticed an optional update on the Windows Update page last night. It was for the NVidia Raid Driver. I am using Windows Vista 64 Ultimate, with my D: drive configured as RAID using two drives striped together. All is fine with the RTM drivers from the original Vista Install DVD. Once I installed the optional NVidia RAID driver update from the Microsoft Windows Update server, the system refused to see the D: drive at all. Using system restore I was able to go back to the old setup and RTM drivers, and all is fine. I didn't lose the drive or any data. But it is disheartening to have the driver updates from the Windows update site screw up the system so badly.
There were no yellow exclamation points in the device manager or anything, the system just didn't see the RAID volume anymore. The BIOS raid manager still saw everything OK, but I couldnt see the D: drive under device manager or administrative tools anymore.
I'm curious if anyone else had this problem with last nights optional driver update from Microsoft for Vista and this motherboard.
