SCSI/Raid Host Controller

[Yahrebetak]

My Toshiba 3000 running W2000 Pro has a yellow exclamation
mark next to the SCSI/Raid Host controller in
Administrative tools | Computer Management | Device
Manager. I get the error message: "This device is not
working properly because Windows cannot load the drivers
required for this device. (Code 31) Click Troubleshooter
to start the troubleshooter for this device." I have
tried to update the device driver, but after re-starting
the computer I get the same yellow exclamation mark. So
what's the solution?

What is the make and model of the SCSI controller ?

Have you tried moving the controller to a different PCI slot ?

Thanks for the reply, Dave. The controller presumably
came with my Toshiba 3000 laptop (I have no idea actually
what a SCSI/Raid controller is, so that may not be true!),
and when I click on Device Manager | SCSI | Properties, I
get 'Unknown manufacturer". Belarc Advisor, which gives
info about one's machine, says: "Toshiba Sm Host Driver
SCSI Disk Device - Drive 0"

As to moving the controller to a different PCI slot...I
have a laptop, a Toshiba 3000, so I presumably cannot move
it.

Then, you DON'T have the hardware to begin with. RAID - Redundant Array of Inexpensive
Drives will assume you have multiple drives. While some drives may have a SCSI interface
built-in, the vast majority of notebooks will not. Sometimes the vendor of a platform will
insert multiple controllers in the installation image such that when they install the OS on
a given platform it has the greatest and widest acceptance by the hardware. I have seen
this With Dell platforms. So, unless there is a SCSI embedded controller chip-set with an
external SCSI interface, I doubt that you actually have the hardware and the Device
line-item can be safely removed.

In summation -- If you don't have an external SCSI interface then, remove the RAID
controller line-item.
