I can’t get windows update to find this hotfix. This one is an important one to me, because I’ve successfully installed it on another computer and it fixed all my problems (my computer didn’t just have trouble playing quicktime, it froze my computer, and iTunes didn’t play correctly). Now, Maybe I’m being a bit dense, but I can’t figure out how to install the updates that this article provided links to. I tried to follow Liam Smith’s directions, but I couldn’t make sense of it. So, since they’re available, once I’ve downloaded the update, how does it install?? I appreciate any help

Yeah, that hotfix is included in SP1 (I checked the listing of hotfixes in it). Bummer that it’s still broken for you.

I’m using the nForce780i and running Vista Ultimate x64 with SP1 installed.
I am receiving the message : “Nvidia Critical RAID Access Errors on SATA #,#”

1. Checked my cables.. connected correctly.
2. Upgraded my Nvidia nForce Raid/SATA Driver to latest version, 5.10.2600.0998
3. Attempted to install Vista KB932094 hotfix, but it says the hotfix does not apply to my system.
(Maybe already included in sp1?)

I am still receiving the error and I don’t know what else to check.

Hi,

I was getting the same random
“Nvidia Critical RAID Access Errors on SATA #,#?”
forcing me to rebuild my array whilst

a) playing mp4 files with quicktime
b) importing mp4 files greater than 50mb in Adobe Premiere Elements 4.0 ( I believe it used quicktime under the covers)

Hitachi diagnostics said everything checked out okay. Tried everything in this thread and the one that sorted the problem was pointers to the Vista KB932094 hotfix. (Thanks to Solutionman and BlackTiger)

My setup is
Asus Crosshair AM2/ Nvidia nForce 590 / Vista x64
Hope this saves you some head scratching.

Just wanted to post for those of you who couldn’t install the driver through many reasons.

- Download the the drivers
- Open and extract out nvstor32.sys
- Download the latest nForce drivers from nVidia
- Open the nForce installer with WinRar or alternative
- Extract all the contents
- Browse to IDE\WinVista\sata_ide
- Replace the .995 nvstor32.sys, previously extracted, with the IDE\WinVista\sata_ide one
- Go onto device manager
- Any instances of “NVIDIA nForce4 Serial ATA Controller” right click and select “Update Driver Software”
- “Browse my computer for driver software”
- “Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer”
- “Have Disk” option
- Browse to where you extracted IDE\WinVista\sata and select nvstor32
- Ignore the rubbish about unsigned crap
- Restart and you will have .995 working

It wouldn’t work for me but following these steps I managed to force Vista into making it work. Quicktime and iTunes work fine now.

Getting Nvidia Critical RAID Access Errors on SATA #,#?
Having studdering problems in Vista with QuickTime?
Is your Nvidia RAID Array getting corrupted in Vista?
Do you have in Intel ICH9R and have these problems, too?
Already upgraded your Vista Nvidia RAID Drivers to 5.10.2600.995 (v9.95) as suggested in other forums, to no avail?

Here is your solution: IGNORE THE STUPID MICROSOFT DESCRIPTION, THIS HOTFIX WILL RESOLVE ALL OF THE ABOVE PROBLEMS!!!

Vista Article ID:
932094

Microsoft URL:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/932094/en-us

Hotfix Filename:
Windows6.0-KB932094-x86.msu

I’m telling you, this resolved everything, for me and all my friends. Everything else we read in forums about breaking your array, or reinstalling, or newer drivers, or patching BIOS, or whatever… was all a waste of time. This was the real solution. Good luck.

thanks a lot for the tip

I have a A8N-E [Nforce4] mobo and after the install of nforce_winvista32_15.01_international, I downloaded Vista Nforce4 SATA RAID drivers for Vista 9.95 x86 …
then I’got a error message trying to install so …
I manualy copied idecoi.dll and nvstor32.sys to their respective places, rebooted, and now Quicktime and .MOV files play perfectly, even 1080p content.
