Intel Rapid Storage Technology
I am trying to upgrade the hard drives in my desktop. It was Windows 7 when I purchased it, and I have upgraded to Windows 10. It is running Intel Rapid Storage Technology, and the drives are in RAID 1 configuration.
I am following instructions on Intel website to replace the drives. Part of the process involves starting the Rapid Storage software in Windows.
The problem I am having is that when I try to start the software in Windows I get an error message that says the software is already running and cannot be started again.
any ideas?

If it is Raid 1, cannot you just replace one drive at a time as you would do if one failed?
The intel utility sits in the hidden icons on the taskbar.

Hi,
You may consider uninstalling the Intel rapid storage technology application and install the latest file available from Intel website in compatibility mode.

The INTEL RST Console REQUIRES DOTNET and windows 10 requires DOTNET to be installed manually. THEN the RST software for your chipset must be installed. There is no one size fits all version and the newer versions DO NOT INSTALL OR WORK OR RUN on older chipsets.
Version 9.6 may be the highest. Drives larger than 2 TB require version 10.1 minimum

The INTEL RST 9.6 F6 Drivers can be put on a USB Flash drive and when AHCI is enabled for Sata operation it will load the drivers and see the disk. If you do not load RST 9.6 or higher it will not "see the drive" and will not install. Advanced format 4k drives started arriving in 2011. At this point ALL NEW Drives are advanced format. If you have an ancient 120 gig , 80 gig drive it won't need the drivers. Most 160 Gig, 320 gig , 500 gig etc are 4k Advanced format Drives.

Detailed Description
Installs the Intel® Rapid Storage Technology (RAID) driver version 9.6.0.1014 for Intel® Desktop Boards.
Download the driver (STOR_allOS_9.6.0.1014_PV.exe) and one of the following F6 Driver Diskettes (depending on your operating system):
STOR_all32_f6flpy_9.6.0.1014_PV.zip - F6 driver diskette for Windows* 7 (32-bit editions), Windows* Vista* (32-bit editions), Windows XP* Home, Windows XP Professional or Windows XP Media Center Edition.

You must manually reinstall DOTNET and the INTEL RST app version that supports your chipset. Otherwise the rst gui will NEVER RUN.

Latest version 15 of the AHCI driver is not compatible with the older chipsets from 2005 thru 2009
For many users installing DOTNET manually and installing RST 9.6 is as far as they can go.
I've installed windows 10 on machines as old as GX620 and they work fine. They do not however work with AHCI or INTEL RST.
You have to install Legacy Direct play and DX9 and DX10 drivers from the Directx June 2010 patch.
You download the file and extract to a folder then run DXSETUP.EXE as administrator.
Before previous drivers will work in windows 7 or 8 or 10 you have to enable legacy features like DOTNET 2.0 3.5 and Directshow. You must then install DIRECTX JUNE 2010 DRIVERS by downloading the file and extracting into a folder and running DXSETUP.exe.
Directx June 2010 which you download and extract to a FOLDER then run DXsetup.exe as administrator.
