Windows 7 on Raid

January 16th, 2010 admin Leave a comment Go to comments

After several attempts of installing Windows 7 on my new beautiful shiny raid configuration I was getting frustrated. The drivers provided with the motherboard (asus p5q-e) didn’t help at all. The drivers from intel are worthless, as they are packaged in an exe file which doesn’t let you install unless you have raid already…

The save was Asus homepage drivers. But Microsoft threw a curveball… If you don’t load drivers as the first thing you do, it won’t let you install. Refresh didn’t help, and I only found out by coincidence that loading the drivers first was necessary. Loading them after selecting disk doesn’t work. Lovely
