I'm trying to install Windows 7 64-bit on my brand new custom PC, using a RAID0 drive array. I already set the array in the BIOS, and the BIOS sees it. All shall be going to plan...
Nope.
The beginning of the install goes fine, I accept the Terms and all that good stuff, it's loading files, yadadada.. but when it gets to the part where it's asking me where Windows 7 is asking me what drive it should be on, nothing is there. It asks for drivers (my SB750 RAID drivers) so it can find the drives, I put in my USB flash drive with the RAID drivers (I tried both from disk and website), it tells me that no new devices could be found.
I don't think it's a problem with my physical computer, So it's either that I messed something up in the BIOS or Windows 7 is being picky on it's RAID arrays.
Any solution would be GREATLY appreciated... I've been troubleshooting this problem for more than 12 hours now
.. and that's no lie
Here are some pics in order of occurrence:
Windows 7 Install screen
Setup.
Driver request?
I press OK, I get this
I stick in mah trusty USB flash drive with the RAID drivers
It finds something compatible!
After pressing 'Next', it says no new devices found
