Windows 10: need to install the raid driver

need to reload the raid driver

:)

 

raid 80g or 160g

I'm actually not sure what you just said, so I'll just list the steps.

1: Install the drives
2: Go in to your BIOS (or whatever is controlling the RAID)
3: Set them up as RAID
4: Install windows
5: Press F6 when Windows says "Press F6 if you need to install additional RAID or SCSI controllers."
6: Insert the floppy and load the drivers
7: Continue with the install like normal

 

Windows 7 Asus M2A-VM Raid Drivers

I understand what a .exe file does but it needs to load as a driver at the beginning of the windows installation. Windows needs the right driver so that raid 0 will work. I have a diploma in Computer Systems at a recognized college so I am not an idiot. I picked up my hardware manual and I am doing this right. I will describe my steps:

- 2 x HDD's plugged into slot 1 and 2 (color coded) and unplugged 500gig HDD (slot 3)
- enter BIOS, set SATA/RAID enabled
- save and exit BIOS
- restarts, ctrl-F to enter raid controller
- create raid array 0 by deleting logical drives and create a new array
- ctrl-F utility recognizes the raid 0 configuration
*** These steps above work wonderfully for windows XP and Vista raid 0. I had the right drivers, and it loaded just fine.
- Enter Windows RC 1 setup
- new custom install option
- no HDD's listed at all (because no drivers are loaded for RAID)
- "Load Driver" button - selected your 32-bit link .exe driver. "driver no found"
*** I confirmed in windows that the .exe is in the disk and I did a data check after burning it without a problem
*** The load driver button works wonderfully in XP and Vista for raid 0, that rules out everything but a faulty driver.

I was kind of disappointed that the .exe did not work. This isn't rocket science. I say it is the driver. Any assistance is appreciated!

 

Problem installing RAID drivers

Hey guys, system info on left

so I'm installing XP and I have the RAID drivers on a floppy and all
got through where you select the drivers and there's 2 listed:

that's exactly what it says on the screen
I'm assuming I need to install both since they say required (there's no info on biostar's site)
when I try both it continues to load files and then when it gets to "Setup is starting Windows" it just sits there and goes nowhere though the HDD light is lit solid the whole time
I've tried them each individually and here's the result:
raid class driver gives me the BSOD drive error after "setup starts windows"
the storage controller results in the same stalemate
I'd say that means it's the storage controller then, but what is the deal with the huge stalemate???

has anyone else experienced this?

thanks for the help *Respect :respect:
