Edit: Was my phone
, android dosent have FTP support it seemsI have a 3ware 9650 and am struggling mightily to get windows to boot with the card plugged into an Asrock P67 Extreme4.
To install windows7 64bit to a 128gb crucual c300 SSD, I had to unplug the raid card. With the raid card in, windows would not install.
(EDIT: sorry didn't realize this was an Asus thread, would still appreciate the help)
After windows installation, I inserted the raid card and my drives that were in a raid 5 setup, and the system keeps trying to boot from the RAID, even though in the UEFI I have the system set to boot from the SSD.
Ive spent hours futzing with this. Help!
Thanks!

Same here. I almost went crazy trying to install Win7 on my Intel 80GB SSD.
No matter what I did, windows setup said that it could not use SSD.
I tried all different ports and drivers and it just did not work. Finally, I took out my 3ware card from 2nd PCI-E slot. I was able to install windows right away. Plugged card back in and all has been working fine since - Well, here is the difference. My system boots from SSD and 3ware RAID works as non boot device.
The weird thing was that Intel SSD was recognized by BIOS and Win setup, but Windows did not want to install.

I've been doing a lot of experimenting with my deluxe and been noticing some prob areas, especially with the booting devices thing.
If you attatched a new bare drive in any "before ASUS P67" mobo and it was recognized during boot and you went into the bios setup, it would be there in boot order choices complete with name and model. If you picked it first in boot order, it obviously wouldnt boot - theres nothing on it. And lets leave off the AHCI issue - no drivers during install - lets just say in SATA IDE emulate.mode. Meaning a new single bare drive in IDE mode could be seen during boot and in bios and Win could be loaded to it easily, partitioned or not.
So, if you put it first and it didnt boot, it would say no O/S or whatever.But that was your fault, even if you had prepartitioned and formatted the drive - it still wont boot, but ITS THERE as a known listed device. - also to the O/S after boot, once you added drive letters in diskmanager
In the UEFI ASUS bios when I put in a bare drive, it doesnt show what it is, its just unknown and if you go to bios choices in boot tab, its not there, you only have the normal boot device and the DVD and "bootmanager", or even worse, it REPEATS the name of other drives as an option for third device..
Now if you put in a RAID card which has its own controller chip, it is TOTALLY unknown, not even on the SATA ports and presumably bootable. But theres no option in the bios to disable or enable it like the marvel and Jmicron.
I have also created both MBR and GPT formatted drives and if you go into the EFI shell and probe, more strange things happen, Like my DVD which had a Win 7 X64 disk in it became a UEFI device and the only way to change that was to reset cmos.. So thats another thing - misconfigured stuff just hangs around as future choices as the number of items in the boot order grows, once again only fixed by a cmos reset. (and i have used all bios)
I think the RAID cards as a phantom bootable device confused Win setup. The BIOS has to let win know its there.
Simply taking it out meant it couldnt be a Win 7 install option.
Once a HDD has an op sys the ID of the item quickly becomes avail in BIOS Boot selects. In other words when they say boot order - they literally mean it. A brand new HDD or an unknown device is a dead fish to this bios, but apparently DVD burners dont have this prob for some reason.
Basically I would like evrything thats a storage device to show explicitly in the EZ bios and boot choices in boot tab, even if bare
And i want to be able to delete items no longer present or changed in config (MBR GPT), but refuse to go away.
This is also related to the SSD and spindle drive probs where changing things around makes one or the other disappear, while 2 on same controller works - sometimes.
Just first thoughts so far - heh

Bankster is DEAD on! That issue really needs to be address. He has LOTS of knowledge and it is an issue for him, imagine how a new builder like myself feels!

Bankster, on my system that three cards thing with a USB? tail is my Canon printer, the Bios thinks it's a mass storage device. Had an eventful day. Just messing with fans, and redoing my TIM. Somehow I managed to lose my SSD in the boot order. All I had was my storage HD and a DVD burner. Didn't want to but I went from 1053 to 1204. I could boot to it from bios but it wasn't seen like so many have had happen to them. Got tired of messing with so I tried the new bios. After numerous restarts and moving sata connections I disconnected everything but the SSD. Restarted a couple of times and it finally was recognized. Then I put everything back like I had it to begin with and it worked. Mostly. Had to go back to HardForums and find what was causing sleep not work. Had some double boot crap too. Finally got everything back to working right, I hope. Lesson learned, don't screw with things for now.

I still can't install the new version of Ai Suite even with the recent patch.
Fix this mess, ASUS!

I read in another thread that it was not safe to update the bios with the EZ flasher bios utility if you had a early bios version. I have the regular P8P67 and have bios verison 0701. Is it safe to use the bios utility?
On a slightly unrelated note, is there any way of turning the green LED off on the motherboard?

EZ flash worked for me perfectly with a total of 6 flashes (dont ask)
Takes less than a minute
Get your USB stick and right click format it in FAT32 only - no NTFS - no boot images
Place the rom all by iself naked on the stick - no folders
Now boot to bios and go to boot tab - exit - set failsafe defaults
reboot to bios
insert your USB stick
go to tools EZ flash
Insert your USB
pick the rom
say yes twice
When resetting - boot to bios again
Reset your onboard dev config
exit reboot to windows once
shutdown
turn off PSU unplug from wall - hold down PC "on" button until all lights go out
take a 1/16" pin punch and stick it in the hole next to the audio I/O and hold the reset cmos down for a count of 20
Plug in PSU turn on PSU
reboot to bios and reset you O/C stuff
Is all this necessary?
No
Better safe than sorry
Thanks for the detailed steps but I do not think the regular P8P67 has this clear cmos feature. At least that I can see.
Nope nothing USB plugged in other than Mouse KB
But I think I stumbled onto something
FWIW that triple something appears when you select disable for non boot device - one not showing in boot order choices
Guess it means other than HDD or unknown.
Also I now see that UEFI strap on a HDD has nothing to do with GPT or MBR
Heres the current setup
LG DVD
WDC Black FEAX 1TB dual boot
Second 1TB FEAX partitioned and formatted, didnt need to do that, because drive is there to be clone of first drive. Hard cloning is bit for bit so no partitions or anything needed, but I did it to see if it would be allowed to be a boot choice fully partitioned.
Nope
Now the 2 FEAX ARE listed below within boot override - P3 and P4 (port 3 and 4), but P4 cant be inserted above in boot order - no choice avail. So I just disable that third boot option and thats when the triple something icon with the tail shows up
So just for giggles I used (WINDOWS) bootmanager for the third boot option
And guess what -
The third boot option now becomes a HDD with that UEFI strap - which I think means NO UEFI boot - hand off to O/S (or Win 7 DVD) on other drive.
I then recalled my DVD burner got that strap when I had a Win 7 DVD inserted and used the EFI probe - that driove me nuts for several hours - WTF?
Had to do a cmos reset to get rid of it.
Also (very important) in the lower section of boot tab there is the boot override option AND WHEN YOU CLICK ONE OF THE LISTED DRIVES (even not listed BOOTABLE option) it boots to that drive instantly
This implies if Bigi's RAID card shows there he can boot to it in override mode
or it might show in bootmanager mode
Slowly but surely, I'm getting a handle on this

Question for you guys, I currently am using the P67 Saber tooth motherboard at bios 1204. For the past couple of times I ran the computer, it ran fine but I have been running onto issues after a while. One thing that just happen is my usb keyboard and mouse just stopped working all of a sudden. My mouse and keyboards lights turned off and I tried changing the plug to another usb port to no avail. Until, I finally restarted the comp, then it started working again.
I am wondering what may be the problem.
Thank you.

So now after two weeks of almost flawless operation this recent news forced me to swap my ssd and spindle drive to the Intel sata3 6gbs ports and now it posts the asus screen twice anytime it boots up. This is the first time I've encountered this and I updated the bios to 1204 to hopefully correct the issue to no avail of course. How are you guys getting it to stop posting the asus screen twice? It's pretty annoying honestly

Disable anything that has a possibility of booting - its looking around for more stuff to boot. Marvel, JMicron RAID card etc. To stop it make bootmanager option for booting SSD in BOOT tab option, then it will be satisfied.
(All devices have bootmanager option)

Fixed it perfectly, thank you so much, just seems so strange that it wasn't doing it while everything was attached to sata 2 3gbs ports.
Ughh, now the motherboard doesn't detect the ssds at all after my computer went to sleep. I don't know what to do.

Windows 7 64 bit? I and others had the same problem. Get the AI Suite II Patcher from the Asus support downloads section. It's listed under Utilities along with the AI Suite II Installer. There are no instructions for running it that I saw. (*ahem Asus...hint hint) However, what worked for me was to extract the AI Suite II installation files to a directory but do not attempt to install yet. (Wouldn't work anyway right?) Extract the AI Suite II Patcher into the directory where you unzipped the AI Suite Installer archive. Now run the patcher setup. It might require a reboot. Then run the AI Suite II Setup. Your results may vary...I'm not sure if running the patcher from within the installer extract directory is necessary but the first time I tried I didn't do so and then tried to install AI Suite II and it still didn't work. After I copied the patcher files into the AI Suite II installer directory and ran again (and rebooted again) then the install worked.
If you're going off the CD...well...good luck. Maybe copy all the files on the CD to hard drive first and try applying the patch to that?
Hint: you might want to temporarily disable User Account Control for this install or you'll be clicking OK about a bajillion times.
