Went to install Windows 7 Professional and came up with "Windows cannot be installed to this disk (C). Windows needs the driver for device Intel(R) 82801ER SATA RAID Controller." Click load driver. Have updated driver, called Microsoft, checked internet. This is my third day trying to find an answer. I had run the Windows 7 upgrade advisor and all was find except for printer driver. If anyone has solution would be very greatful.

All of my systems still run fastest on XP 32-bit for the most part. Win7 is fun to play with, but I still prefer XP for raw speed, security, and functionality.
43 Minutes With Microsoft

I've had that problem before. The Intel Matrix Storage installer is flawed in that it doesn't allow you to extract the driver unless it detects the hardware. I had to solve it by downloading extractable driver files from the manufacturer and switching BIOS settings. It's annoying to say the least.

Something else to try:

After you run the Intel matrix installer and get an error, DO NOT close the error message. You might be able to find the drivers in C:\Windows\Temp directory. Copy the drivers to a removable device before you close the error message.

Try running the installer from boot instead of the desktop, unless of course you want an in-place Upgrade.

Call Dell tech support. It has to be their upgrade if MS referred u
 
I have given up! I am truly dissapointed, was really looking forward to the new OS. I am not without brains, but I do think that Microsoft had not gotten all the important compatabilty feedback that was required and needed. I have always been a big supporter of Microsoft and will probably always be. I have a headache now and am going to settle in the the BB game and a stiff drink. Thanks to those that tried to help.

Go to Dells Driver page, enter the info for your computer, select version of OS, down load the driver and install it.

Dell has a good driver page, Technical Support.

Let us know if you find the driver on the Dell site.

this worked for me

Download Intel Application Accelerator RAID Edition
Intel Application Accelerator RAID Edition

Open the Command Prompt (Start --> Programs --> Accessories --> Command Prompt)

Navigate to the location where you saved R76348.EXE (you can copy it's folder location from explorer, and type: cd "c:\downloads\drivers\dell" (assuming that's where you saved the file

Execute the file by typing R76348 -a (note where it will save the setup files... you can copy the location by highlighting it, right clicking the highlighted text, and selecting "Copy")

Once that's done, navigate to the location where you've extracted the files. By default you would type: cd "C:\Dell\Drivers\R76348"

Type: Setup -a -p C:\Dell\Files (when prompted, click Next)

Using windows explorer, navigate to C:\Dell\Files and copy the Driver folder to a USB/CD/floppy disk/etc


Those are the files that you need to get Windows 7 to see your hard drive(s).

Actually he would have had to post it about nine months earlier to have helped OP for this old thread.

But Google will keep the thread alive so others can benefit from both of your input.
 
Maybe I'm late to the party, but is the OP actually running RAID? If this is a desktop system, ditch the RAID, set the controllers to AHCI, and then install/enjoy Windows 7.
