SCSI/RAID Host Controller

[Guest]

When I start my computer, I get the message " The TCP/IP Transport is not
installed" and I am not able to get an internet connection. I have checked
the Hardware Device Manager and there appears to be a problem with the
SCSI/RAID controller. I can overcome this temporarily by restoring to an
earlier date but doesn't cure the underlying problem.

For a little while now, the PC has been extra noisy on start up and
intermittently whilst running - in case this helps.

To be honest, I haven't a clue what a SCSI/RAID controller is. Any help
would be appreciated.

Many thanks

In general, I can't see any relationship between TCP/IP and a SCSI/RAID
controller. The former is a network transport protocol and the latter is
internal hardware used to host devices such as hard drives. It's difficult
to say what the problem is without knowing more info, particularly what the
SCSI/RAID controller is hosting. I'd begin here to troubleshoot the error
message:

The TCP/IP error is unrelated to the SCSI/Raid issue.

Mass Storage controllers (run and control disk drives) comes in several
forms. The most common are IDE or ATAPI. Newer PC's use Serial ATA
and Raid (Redundant Array of Inexpensive Disk(s). SCSI is a older but
more expensive type of controller used in Servers and High-End Work
stations.

Apparently, your motherboard has a built in Raid or SCSI controller
built-in. You didn't give enough details, but likely the controller had an
issue with drivers or a conflict with another device in the PC.

TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol) is essentially
the language a Network card uses. From the message, it implies that
TCP/IP is not installed or bound to your network card. Without it, the
card cannot communicate.

Overall, it sounds like your system hardware is not configured properly.
A noisy startup can indicate a drive issue or possibly fan bearings starting
to fail. If you aren't technically savvy or comfortable with some advanced
diagnostics, you should find a local PC shop that can diagnose/repair the
unit. As Malke would say - "Avoid Best Buy & CompUSA", check
the yellow pages for a small, locally owned computer store. Many have
fixed service prices or hourly labor charges around $40.

Worth noting here that Device Manager puts any add-on card for handling
disks under this head, even if neither SCSI nor Raid are involved - eg
my old Promise UDMA 33 card, that I now use for an extra CD burner
drive, is listed under that head. It seems to be applied wherever an
additional layer of drivers gets involved

I am running XP Home addition and recently my HP5200c scanner could not be
recognized. When following a long list os troubleshooting instructions in the
Systems Info it showed a soci/raid host controller PNP device ID
Root\Esptwint\0000 with error code 39. I went to the device manager and in
the properties it says ithas a corrupt driver and to uninstall and reinstall
the device. I uninstalled and the whole thing disappeared and now I am lost.
any help appreciated.

Thanks Ross, but I tried that, in fact I downloaded the software for the
5200C which included the driver especially for the windows XP but no luck. I
am working through HP support at this time and have about 15 things they have
told me to try.
