I've been having trouble tracking down the driver that updates iaStorV.sys and was hoping someone here could direct me to the right place to download the latest one. I've been under the impression it could be downloaded via Intel matrix storage driver like iastor.sys, but haven't encountered it.
Also, is it true iastorV.sys is supposed to be used for Windows Vista and not Windows 7? I've been BSODing and am trying to find the cause.
yes, I believe that is the right description. Is it safe to download from that site?
I understand, thanks.
Could someone tell me if the file is actually required alongside iastor.sys or on windows 7 in general?
Maybe this will help: Intel Matrix Storage Manager: iaStor.sys vs iaStorV.sys
This is from the above site:
Conclusion:
- If you're using the Intel® Matrix Storage Manager to setup your raid array, stick with the more recent iaStorV driver, if you don't want to experience some undesired effect, on Windows Vista and Windows 7.
ahhh, so perhaps having them both is causing the problem. I'll give it a try *crosses fingers*
Was a no go bud. With iastor deleted I can't even get past the start-up screen. Hopefully taking my comp in will to bestbuy will allow it to get fixed before I have to leave for college!
Edit:: Wow, somehow I was able to fix it by accessing my drivers folder and copying & pasting iastor.sys back into it from my downloads folder through the restore console. Still blue screening when I try to log, but think that's more manageable to fix than not being able to start-up at all =)!

iastor.sys is the Intel Matrix Storage Manager driver
Boot into safe mode with networking and update it using Intel® Driver Update Utility
