    Windows 7 Convert Raid-1 to single disk

    I have a Windows 7 Pro X64 system which boots from a two-disk hardware RAID-1 array, operating from an Adaptec 2405 hardware-RAID controller. I want to migrate my system and all data back to a single, new hard drive. I use Paragon Hard Disk Manager Suite 15, which has a handy Copy Disk option...

    Windows 7 0x9f BSOD

    After further testing: If I switch on and use the e-SATA HDD, as usual, for backup, then turn it off again, Windows 7 always hangs at shut-down. Depending on how long I leave it hung, it either eventually BSODs with 09f and restarts or, if I switch off at the system unit's power switch, there is...

    Windows 7 0x9f BSOD

    Thanks: I followed your suggestion and installed the latest Intel RAID driver from Gigatech (my motherboard manuf.), checking that the version number is the same as on Intel's website. This is the implementation of Intel Rapid Storage Technology, their latest incarnation of the rather flaky...

    Windows 7 Windows 7 - stuck at shutdown

    How did you do the upgrade from Vista? If you upgraded 'over' Vista, rather than doing a clean install, that often leads to problems.

    Windows 7 0x9f BSOD

    Sadly, the problem seems not to be resolved after all. After doing my usual back-up last night to my e-SATA external HDD, I clicked to shut-down and Win 7 froze again on the shut-down screen with the circle circling. After 5 minutes or so I left the room and when I came back about 10 mins later...

    Windows 7 0x9f BSOD

    Brilliant! Thanks so much. I deleted upper and lower filters as indicated, applied the MS hotfix and all seems to be back in order, with CD drives recognised and running and Windows shut-down problem seemingly solved. Truly it is such a boon to have almost instantaneous and such knowledgeable...

    Windows 7 0x9f BSOD

    Further to my previous: The good news is: Windows 7 shut down normally for the first time in days The bad news is: My 2 SATA CD drives remain inaccessible (exclamation marks in Device Manager). Are they controlled by PxHlpa64.sys (the driver I renamed to PxHlpa64old.sys)?

    Windows 7 0x9f BSOD

    Thanks so much for the super-fast response. I renamed the PxHlpa64.sys file. I ran Intel's scan but it didn't identify any drivers requiring update. I couldn't find a direct download for iaStorV.sys. The file dates I have currently in C:\Windows\System32\Drivers are: iastorv.sys v...

    Windows 7 0x9f BSOD

    I have the same problem: running W7 Pro 64 bit Kernel Version 6.1.7600.16617 on a desktop. It started a few days ago: W7 failed to shut-down and I had a report of a BSD 1000009f, although I had left the computer to shut down and did not see the BSD screen. I'm attaching the minidump...
