Windows 10: No longer seeing Adaptec ROM on Windows 10 boot

I figured this was a good place to ask, or get pointed in the right direction. My storage server is a Windows 10 Pro box with an Adaptec 5805 Raid card driving my main array. I don't boot off of it, but when the server boots, I'm seeing the windows logo hiding the Adaptec rom messages.

Is there a way to turn that off so I can see the "Press CTRL-A to enter setup" etc. again?

(I've tried all of the BIOS settings, like disabling quick boot, disabling logo, but I'm pretty convinced this is a Windows boot setting that I'm missing.)

tl;dr: When booting, I see the windows logo, not the Adaptec Raid adapter initializing.

Computer no longer sees IRST array after upgrade to W10

Ouch. It sounds like one of the SSDs is being recognized properly, perhaps? That would explain the long boot times. I'd be looking at the BIOS rom as suggested and seeing what it says about the array health.

 

laptop doesnt boot automatically

This is what happened.

1. Did a repair install and later disabled hibertnate in CMD.
2. Enabled legacy option ROM in BIOS.
3. After a few times startup ( i used the system in such mode for 5 days), changed boot option back to default.
4. Vola!! It boots automatically to win10 without any keypress. Tested it with many starts to confirm the same.
5. Re-enabled hibernate option using CMD and later selected Fast Startup.
6. System booted normally, without the need for any keypress.

I do not know exactly whether such steps resolved the problem or what else happened, hence cannot suggest above steps.

Many thanks to all members who helped to troubleshoot problems.

 

Adaptec 2405 - Upgrading from 8.1 -> 10, sanity check

Hello!

I upgraded to see if it worked.

I can report that the version of "Adaptec Storage Manager" I have.

Version 7.31.00 (18856) works with my Adaptec 2405.

I will test Windows 10 to see if it is worth keeping or not.

Cheers,

Henrik
