This computer is HP Zbook 17 G0 or base model and has been having recurrent logical disk problems with frequent running of chkdsk /scan or chkdsk /r
It has a 750 GB HD working with a 32 GB flash cache in RAID 0.
This is a default setting and in order to turn off RAID the Intel RST is needed to disable acceleration.
The computer had failure to boot.
If the 750 GB HD were to be moved to the secondary bay of another computer or to and externa HD enclosure is would likely be unreadable or RAW.
Using boot rescue software the HP drive was unable to be installed.
In the revision history there was an older driver for this configuration and this driver installation also failed.
After a temporary boot fix the Intel RST was downloaded and installed. It had two choices: Repair or uninstall. In order to complete the repair it required a reboot.
After another temporarty boot repair it displayed:
IAStorUI.exe - Bad Image
C:\Windows\SYSTEM32\MSCVP120_CLR0400.dll is either not designed to run on Windows or it contains an error. Try installing the program again using the original installation media or contact your system administrator or the software vendor for support. Error status 0xc0000020.
The repair was repeated two additional times and displayed the same result.
How do you disable the acceleration so that the RAID 0 is off and the HD can be moved to other computers or an external HD enclosure and become a readable drive?
How do you troubleshoot the above failure to repair or install the HP driver for the Intel RST.
Each time the computer is booted it displays no bootable device found.
Multiple power off and power on do not open the windows advanced troubleshooting menu.
Power on and repetitively clicking control + I opens the bios menu for F keys.
Then clicking return or enter somehow activates the automatic repair which enables the wallpaper to appear and then a logon to the desktop.
What is happening with control + I or control + L or contorl + c that a return after viewing the bios F key menu triggers automatic repair?
How come the automatic repair is only temporary and it continues to display no bootable device found?
What does control + I do to the Intel RST software or controller?
The HP UEFI diagnostics were run testing the RAM and HD and passed. The drive was also checked using multiple third party software and passed all tests.
Other methods listed in the Intel RST software to disable RAID are using ROM or UEFI options in the BIOS. Does the HP zbook not have any of these options and only relies on the Intel RST driver?
