Clean Install And Former Raid 0

May 29, 2009

I want to slick my drive and do a clean install of the RC version. I currently have a Raid 0 configuration on 2 additional drives (not the OS drive) using the Asus P6T on-board controller. Will that Raid be preserved and thus the data as well? What is the best way to accomplish this with the least amount of angst?

Set Up Raid After Windows 7 Install?

Nov 27, 2010

I have W7 installed, works fine. I bought 2 HDDs and wanna add them just as data disk and set up as RAID1. If I set up RAID in bios, Windows crashes when loading with classic blue screen + restart. Is there any way to make it work (install some driver etc.) or do I have to reinstall Windows with RAID set up prior to Windows installation? I have Asus P7P55D-E board.

Can't Install RAID 0 Drivers

Jan 4, 2010

I've read several forum threads on this, but am still having trouble. I have win 7 32bit RC up and running for a long time on a 500 gig WD. Bought two 1Ts for a raid 0. I have the RAID chosen correctly in the BIOS, and the utility works fine. At the clean install for either 64 or 32 bit, I try to choose the drivers which I have downloaded from Intel and Asus, and tried to use the Vista drivers off my P5Q install disk, and still, Win 7 does not recognize the drive.

I have been home building and using computers for the past 25 years and I guess technology has gotten way over my hobbiest head. I have tried the USB flash drive route and I doesn't work either. Please, I know of the F8 workaround for unsigned drivers, but that doesn't work either. So, how are people raiding Win 7 at clean install?

Second question, is there a good tutorial at technet.com (which I can't find there) or someother place that tells step by step how to raid under disk manager in win 7?

Possible To Install Software Raid 0 For C:?

May 31, 2010

I want to set up a raid 0 during the install for my c partition on Win 7 can this be done? If not what I will do is install on a parition on one drive and then after I have installed set up some stripped partition and hack the registery and change the locations of the Windows folder to be on the stripped partitions after copying them of course. This is just not a very nice way of doing it. My mobo doesn't support hardware raid so that is why I am trying to implement software raid and I have a second hardrive.

Re-install Of Windows 7 With RAID 0 Drive

Nov 20, 2010

My PC is currently using a single RAID 0 drive that contains my Windows install and all my data in a single partition C: (I'm well backed up so happy with the risk of RAID0)

The RAID0 drive is setup by my motherboard controller so Windows just sees the one drive.

I am thinking of adding an separate drive for windows, hopefully an SSD. I would like to do a fresh install of Windows 7 on the new disk then rename the old RAID0 drive to something different such as D: . Then reorganise it into just a data disk.

My question is.. will the new Windows 7 installation just see the old RAID0 disk as another disk? I know this would work witha normal disk, but does RAID0 transfer over to a new installation ok?

Creating RAID Clone Install To It?

Dec 22, 2010

MOBO = Gigabyte x58a-ud5 I just got 2 SSDs I'm trying to put in RAID0 and hopefully clone my current install. When I change the bios settings to set the intel RAID controlled to xhd and raid but try to boot from my windows installation it wont boot, it gets to ''starting windows'' and then BSOD. When I turn the RAID setup off and try to install the XHD drivers the install aborts saying ''this is not a RAID setup". Is there something I can do to get the drivers installed on my current setup then clone it to the RAID drives?

BSOD During Install (vista / Win 7) On RAID

Jul 14, 2009

I got this problem and cannot solve it myself for over a month, ANY advice will be appreciated! The goal is Windows 7 64bit with RAID0.

1. Windows XP 32bit installs fine on RAID0 (with proper driver integrated)

2. Windows 7 64bit and Vista 64bit installs fine on single drive.

3. Windows 7 64bit and Vista 64bit on RAID0 give BSOD 0x000000F4 during completing installation stage, then Matrix Storage manager shows RAID0 ERROR OCCURRED.

EDIT:

4. Windows Vista 32bit won't install on raid setup too. Its not the case with 64bits

I tried everything I could think of:

1. exchanged both hard drives

2. tested RAM

3. tried install with minimum pheripherals and 1GB RAM

4. messed up with BIOS, even updated to latest beta bios

5. tried installing intel vista64 raid drivers, tho windows 7 has itself

6. RMA'd my DVD Drive

and still NO GO

How To Install Windows 7 To An SSD Raid Array

Jun 11, 2011

I would like to get 2 SSDs and put them into a raid array using Windows 7-64bit, but wanted to make sure I understand how to do that. The 2 SSDs will be the only drives in the system. My computer has an X58 motherboard with an ICH10R. Here is what I think is the correct procedure: Boot into the bios. Set the storage config to RAID (the other choices are IDE and AHCI) Reboot and hit Cntrl-I to get into raid menu during boot. Set up the raid array in the setup screen. Reboot to the Windows 7 install CD and install Windows Is this correct? Are there any other steps I need or tips I should be aware of?

Windows 7 64bit Won't Install On Ssd Raid

May 26, 2012

I have been trying to get windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit installed onto a raid I created with two ocz agility 3 ssds. Everytime I try loading the drivers at install it gives me an error stating the drivers are unsigned and to install a 32 bit OS. When installing a 32 but OS, the install works normal and the computer runs fine. I am just wondering why it wont install for 64 bit considering I would much rather run 64 bit. I went to both the MoBo's website and the main companys website for the chipset drivers (AMD) but have both turned up with the same error.

MoBo = Biostar TA75M

IDT Audio Drivers Won't Install - Windows 7x64, Clean Install?

Jan 30, 2012

I'm working on a re-install of all components following a complete corruption of the boot sector on my drive which could not be fixed with repairs. The last time I installed everything fresh, I had no issues. Between then and now, there have been no hardware changes on my system, but now I am having issues installing the IDT Codecs. I keep getting an error along the following lines: Quote: ExitError: Error=Device Object not present, restart the system and run setup again. Running under compatibility mode, and running drivers from both the motherboard CD and the manufacturer website both have the same effect. The CD, when booted, says "This OS not support!" and only contains 32-bit vista codecs. ECS' website download indicates the IDT drivers as being compatible with Windows 7. Both do not work. It is almost as if the hardware "disappeared," despite the fact that I was using the drivers quite successfully till just 2 days ago, when the boot sector went kaput.

Windows has installed its own default set, which do nothing to power the 8mm jacks which I use with my speakers, but instead put sound through the HDMI, which is useless because I use a dedicated graphics card. I have tried uninstalling this codec and re-installing IDT, to no effect. Windows replaces with its own default codec.I have referenced this thread here, but offered solutions do not seem to work for me: Intel IDT Audio Driver will not install

Windows 7 Setup Can See RAID Volume But Cannot Install On It?

May 6, 2012

I am having trouble installing windows 7 (home premium) on my new raid array (2x intel 330 120GB SSD in RAID0). Basically, windows CAN see the raid volume. it recognies that there is a single 223 GB volume available. I select "Load Driver" for the volume, and plug in my trusty USB with the appropriate intel SATA RAID drivers. Win7 recognizes that there is a compatible driver on the USB, installs it, but still says: "Windows cannot be installed to this disk. This computers hardware may not support booting to this disk. Ensure that the disk's controller is enabled in the computer's BIOS menu". The format and create new partition options are grayed out for this volume.

Using the Intel Rapid Storage Technology tool, I combined the two drives into a raid0 volume. This is confirmed because when I restart, the raid volume shows up in the RST echo with the right size, and also indicates that the volume is bootable. It is also confirmed because the windows 7 setup only sees one 223GB disk. I have confirmed that in the BIOS, the SATA controller is set to RAID mode (not AHCI). I have confirmed that in the BIOS, the first boot option is "RAID intel SSD". I've tried the RAID drivers that came with the motherboard, Ive also tried the raid drivers available from intel and the latest raid drivers available from the motherboard MFR.

Setting Up A RAID 0 From An Existing Windows 7 Install?

Apr 1, 2012

As part of the chipset driver installation, it also installed the RAID and SATA drivers that Nvidia provides.I have a 300GB HDD on the primary IDE channel although I currently boot from one of my SATA hdd's.How would I go about transferring my OS to a RAID 0?Would it be possible to just system image my current OS onto the IDE drive and then format my two SATA hdd's, enable RAID in BIOS and then use Seagate Disc Wizard to install the system image onto the RAID 0?Is seagate disc wizard capable of transferring to a RAID drive??Have the RAID drivers definitely been installed with the Chipset drivers and will Windows recognise the RAID array?Have heard that you have to set up a boot partition the same size as the image on the RAID 0, would it then be possible to expand that to use the entire RAID partition

SB750 RAID Drivers Not In RTM.can't Install.slipstream?

Aug 7, 2009

So like half the world I got RTM from MSDN yesterday, with hopes of installing today. Well for the past 10 hours I have been trying to get this OS installed on a Asus M4A79T Deluxe motherboard with the AMD SB750 RAID drivers and unfortunately I have come upon some woes that I hope you all might be able to shed some light on.In the RC the drivers were not present, as is the case with the current RTM, the process I would have to go thorough is as follows: 1. Click Next at the Language select screen 2. Click Install Now at the Install screen 3. Accept Terms and Next 4. Choose Custom install 5. It is at this point where I run into the lack of a driver with the RC, no drives are listed at theWhere do you want to install Windows?screen. 6. Click Load Driver 7. A message box pops up indicating To install the device driver needed to access your hard drive, insert the installation media containing the driver files, and then click OK.It is at this time that I click Browse 8. The browse for folder menu pops up and I navigate to my USB drive (have used a CD in the past) and select the AMD AHCI Compatible RAID Controllerand click Next At this point everything is good, the driver gets loaded and I continue on my merry way with the install of the RC.

The RTM, however, is much, much different: 1. Click Next at the Language select screen 2. Click Install Now at the Install screen 3. (unlike the RC, no terms yet) It is at this point where I run into the lack of a driver with the RTM, thus a Load Driver popup comes up indicating A required CD/DVD drive device driver is missing. If you have a driver floppy disk, CD, DVD, or USB flash device please insert it now. This is similar to what happened in step 7 above. It is at this time that I insert my USB key and click Browse 4. The browse for folder menu pops up and I navigate to my USB drive (have used a CD in the past) and select the AMD AHCI Compatible RAID Controllerand click Next 5. About five minutes of time and I receive the following error: No new devices could be found. Make sure that the driver files are correct and located on the driver installation media.Excuse me...what? The drivers are right there! I have them highlighted! So I click OK on the error popup and choose Browse again to repoint to the driver....but wait...WHAT? WHAT WHAT WHAT? All of my drives on the RAID controller are now showing up in the Browse box, indicating that the driver has been loaded!No matter how many times I try and click Next (not that clicking it a bunch of times is going to change anything) I cannot proceed in the install.

W7x64 Install, Will Not Boot After Enabling RAID 0

Oct 13, 2009

I just bought a refurb Dell XPS 420 w/ Q9300, running Vista Home Premium x64 and downloaded/installed an activated version of Win 7 Ult x64 on an 80GB SSD [Sata1] I bought for it; dual booted w/ Vista x64 on old hard drive [Sata0].

Windows 7 x64 was running stable and instantly fast, I wanted to enable RAID0 on the old hard drive [Sata0] and another new hard drive [Sata2]

I entered Intel Maxtrix Storage Manager (Ctrl-I), creating a RAID0 volume on [Sata0] and [Sata2].

After reboot, it says "No boot device available" after BOIS screen.

My subsequent boot attempts include (roughly in order):

1. disable RAID0 volume, boot to [Sata1]

2. disable [Sata0] and [Sata2], boot to [Sata1]

3. disable [Sata1], boot to CD/DVD-drive (Windows 7 install/boot)

4. disable CD/DVD-drive, boot to USB flash (Windows 7 install/boot)

I have done some digging around and cannot seem to find a solution. I have the use of my notebook (w/ broken DVD burner, still reads) running Windows 7 Ult x86 so apparently I cannot make my USB flash drive x64 bootable from what I've read. I also have 2-USB hard drives (80/250GB) and an eSata 2x docking station available, but no eSata on notebook.

Hope I gave enough info for someone to come up with an easy fix. If I could boot to the Windows 7 x64 install DVD that I made with the non-booting PC, I would have just done a clean install by now, but it refuses to boot to the CD/DVD drive. It actually wouldn't even boot to DVD to install Windows 7 x64 in the first place, I had to install from Vista. Also I do not have a Vista x64 install disk either.

Windows 7 Install On New Build With RAID 0 Driver

Jan 24, 2013

Recently completed my first computer build and am trying to install windows with a raid 0 on 2 500g HDD. I have it set up in the BIOS for 1-4 and 5-6 sata ports to RAID. When I boot from the dvd drive with the windows disk, after clicking install windows, it says: "a required cd/dvd drive device driver is missing" I figured this was a driver for the raid but i cant find it anywhere. if i select browse, there is a boot (x folder but i dont see anything in there that would help me. Do i need to download a driver to a usb stick and pull it off there? adn if yes where could i get the driver? i cant find it on the asus website.

here is my setup:

Install RAID Drivers On Already Installed Windows 7?

Jun 23, 2010

[code]...

So then I thought, that maybe I can't install the RAID drivers from within the OS. So I caused the BSOD on purpose once again, and then with ICH10R RAID activated and Samsung hard disks attached, I choose the Windows 7 Recovery mode in the boot menu. It sees some problem(s), tries to repair, does not succeed and does not ask for drivers (which I put on a USB stick) to install. I also tried to use the command-line in the recovery: "rundll32 syssetup, SetupInfObjectInstallAction DefaultInstall 128 iaStor.inf" but it gave "Installation failed."

So I'm clueless how should I proceed. Do I really need to re-install Windows 7 and load RAID drivers in the Win7 setup? I don't want to install any OS on the RAID, the Windows 7 is and will be on the SSD. I just want to have a RAID-1 backup using those two hard disks.
