GTX 285 SLI and 3DMark01 issue

[Afterburner]

I hope this is being asked in the correct category!

I have posted this same question elsewhere and have not yet received and answer. I am trying to get my WAR's runs in and am failing badly :ohcrap:

Here is my cut and paste....

Well I have tried for a day and a half... With no success. So I must be missing something simple and I am hoping someone can help me....

I can make Vantage runs all day long!!! But I cannot run 3DMark06 or 01... In 01 I get the error in the pic below.... 3DMark06 simply says an NOS or NOD have failed and will not start....

Tried new drivers.. Old.. Restart... No overclocks.. Overclocks.... Everything but re-installing the programs.... Sigh....

Any ideas? Thanks!!

like i said in your other thread AB have you tried it in another OS, I had that error in Vista and Win7 beta

Try uninstalling and reinstalling.

@ punx.. I completely miss understood your other post!!! I thought you asked me what I was running... Gotcha! Can do....

@ DrNip.... On that right now.. will try that first!

I had this happen to me but I don't remember on what OS or what I did to fix it as I have too many hdd with too many OS's on them. Apparently it was fixed as I don't have the issue anymore.

Ok.. Well I just tried to install Punx XP OS.. Failed telling me no HardDrive found..... No I remember why I am using the Vista in this WARs.... I cannot get XP to install.... I am running the RAID0+1.....

Does anyone have an XP with the Classy needed drivers ISO'd? So I can download/burn it? I have my own legit product keys for every single Windows ever released... (2000-XP PRO's for example...)

[DrNip]

Why don't you just pop the Classified disk in and load them from there or am I missing something here? Better yet I am confused on the no hdd found when trying to install XP. If that is the case what are the drivers going to do for you as that wouldn't be the problem?

[Afterburner]

Well I have tried so many times I got frustrated with it. For some reason even with my own created ISO's I have not found a way to successfully install XP after I have Vista on a RAID0+1..

I can however do it on a RAID0 only... I am so confused....

Anyway... I figured out my issue. It is 100% all me messing up. I failed to change the compatibility to XP ... Now it is working great on the Vista install.... Sucky 44723 score.... but running! http://service.futuremark.com/compare?2k1=9521218

[punx223]

ddi you install the raid drivers (F6) ?

[Afterburner]

I have tried countless times... That is why I did an ISO hoping it would help. It gives me the same exact error each time.... Keep in mind I even tried my XP RAID0 ISO I installed in my business system...

:offtopic: whats the highest clocks on ambient water you're able to get on them gtx285s?

[Afterburner]

781/1701/1404..... these very cards.... 68f ambient... never saw over 41c on the GPU's

Ah, makes sense.

For starters AB the vista boot manager sucks and will almost always bork the xp install eventually. While benching I only ever have one sata port goin to only one hdd with one os on it. Sorry if that seems to simple but with the classy and its only liking one or two of its ports goin to drives, I thought I should mention it.
Secondly, running 01 in xp is key unless I missed somethin.....05 in vista, and 7 for 06 and vantage.:good:

Thanks Rom!! Well now that I have three partitions... and all installed.... What boot manager should I use? EasyBCD? Or?... Of course now that I installed a third partition and put XP on it.. I lost access to the other two OS's... sigh..

I had very good results with using Acronis boot manager: http://www.acronis.com/homecomputing/products/diskdirector/multibooting.html

Thanks for showing me this!!!

***EDIT***

EasyBCD was the fastest and easiest software I have ever used!!! Allows full functionality and changeability!! Problem solved!
