| Windows 7: Marvell Raid 0 Driver Problem on SATA III 6Gb on 64 bit install |

Marvell Raid 0 Driver Problem on SATA III 6Gb on 64 bit install I have recently bought 2 1Tb Western Digital SATA III 6 Gb HDDs.
The idea being, that I would Install Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit via the onboard Marvell controller in Raid 0.
I have not even got past the Collecting Information part of install, because no matter what Driver I try to load, Windows refuses the drivers because it says they are unsigned.
It tells me to load 32bit and 64bit signed drivers but I've tried every Marvell Raid driver I can find including ones from ASUS site.
Says the same every time and I either need to be told what I'm doing wrong or a driver set that works or a way of getting round the problem.
I have tried loading from Floppy and flash drive.
Might it be possible to install without the Raid drivers and add them after install, probably a stupid question but I'm amazed what some people can do sometimes.
I have the latest BIOS so that I can run with my new Phenom II x 6.
The raid array shows up fine in BIOS and shows as Disk 0 Partition 2 1861.9 GB Primary during install. | My System Specs |

There is a way to get around the un-signed drivers... It was in a thread a short while ago.
I will try to find it, but in the mean time, google "using unsigned drivers in windows 7" and you might get a result
EDIT:
Found it.

Thanks for the reply, did what you said and same result, will not let me load any drivers, now I'm just loading Windows 7 64bit onto my array without Raid drivers just to see what happens. Even tho I did the F8 thing and scrolled down to the part where you tell windows to ignore unsigned drivers, instead, it ignored me

Well that answers that one, goes through the install but won't load after reboot, no drivers. Don't think I will be able to load Windows 7 in Raid 0 on a Sata III because I can't find any drivers that setup will accept. Every one has come up as Unsigned. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number New Self Build OS Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit CPU AMD AM3 Phenom II x 6 1055T 2.8 Motherboard Gigabyte 790FXTA-UD5 Memory Kingston HyperX 1660 DDR3 1.65v. 8 GB (4x2) Graphics Card Sapphire Radion HD 5770 ATI 1GB GDDR5 Sound Card Using onboard after Creative card stopped working Monitor(s) Displays Samsung SyncMaster P2370 23" Screen Resolution 1920 x 1080 Keyboard Logitech iPoint cordless Mouse Logitech iPoint cordless PSU CoolerMaster Extreme 900w Case ChiefTec Black Mesh full ATX Tower Cooling Corsair H50 Cpu Water Cooler Hard Drives 2 x Western Digital 1 Tb SATA III 6Gb

What motherboard are you installing on.
Your specs show a Gigabyte mobo but post one you state you are trying ASUS drivers. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Hopalong/ Godzilla OS Windows7 Pro 64bit SP-1; Windows XP Pro 32bit CPU Intel Core i7-870 Lynnfield 2.93GHz LGA 1156 95W Quad-Core Motherboard ASUS P7P55D-E PRO Memory 8GB@1400MHz Crucial Ballistix DDR3-1600 4x2GB Graphics Card ASUS ENGTX460 DirectCU/2DI/1GD5 1GB 256-bit GDDR5 Sound Card VIA Onboard Monitor(s) Displays Asus VS248H-P 24"; Samsung SyncMaster 941BW 19"ws Screen Resolution 1920x1080; 1440x900 Keyboard Logitech K-320 Mouse Kensington PSU COOLER MASTER Silent Pro RS850-AMBAJ3-US 850W Modular Case COOLER MASTER HAF 932 RC-932-KKN5-GP Black Cooling Scythe "Mugen-2 Rev.B" (2 ScytheKaze-Jyuni PWM fans) Hard Drives Samsung 830 120GB SSD

I'm going to put the windows 7 disk back in the box, put it on the shelf and find another source and put that on instead. Probably i cant use sata III but I've been chasing one problem after another and I'm sick of windows 7 and microsofts security crap | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number New Self Build OS Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit CPU AMD AM3 Phenom II x 6 1055T 2.8 Motherboard Gigabyte 790FXTA-UD5 Memory Kingston HyperX 1660 DDR3 1.65v. 8 GB (4x2) Graphics Card Sapphire Radion HD 5770 ATI 1GB GDDR5 Sound Card Using onboard after Creative card stopped working Monitor(s) Displays Samsung SyncMaster P2370 23" Screen Resolution 1920 x 1080 Keyboard Logitech iPoint cordless Mouse Logitech iPoint cordless PSU CoolerMaster Extreme 900w Case ChiefTec Black Mesh full ATX Tower Cooling Corsair H50 Cpu Water Cooler Hard Drives 2 x Western Digital 1 Tb SATA III 6Gb

The problem is Gigabyte. Read your manual or download at Gigabyte.
Very different for certain but not Microsofts fault.
Manual here. Page 100 tells you steps after installing OS to install the drivers. They are evidently not plug and play drivers. A bit more to it.
Instructions are for Vista. That is all I found. GIGABYTE - Motherboard - Socket AM3 - GA-790FXTA-UD5 (rev. 1.0)

Hi all, I have been on the Gigabyte Forum and other people have had the same problem, common denominator is Western Digital Sata III drives.
I dont know personally but I take notice of more knowledgable people than me cuz I am fairly new at the more modern tech.
The people I chatted with have now changed to either Seagate or Hitatchi HDDs and report no problem.
I was saving up for a couple of good ATI GDDR5 graphics cards but I guess they will have to wait.
I also have a Gigabyte MA770T-DD3P with 2 Sata II 1 Tb Samsung Spinpoint 3s in Raid 0, AMD AM3 Phenom II 965 x 4, 4Gb DDR3 1333, runs on Windows 7 64bit Ultimate, No problems with this machine at all.

I know this CAN be done because I did it with a pair of WD SATA3 drives in RAID0 on the Marvell controller with Windows 7 x64 about 9 months ago on my Gigabyte X58A-UD3R Rev 1 motherboard... I just can't remember how I did it... I think I remember using a driver on the motherboard CD.
You do know that benchmarks have shown that these drives actually operate faster in RAID0 on the intel controller right? | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Custom Built OS Windows 7 Ultimate x64 CPU Intel Q6600 Quad Core at 3.0 Ghz Motherboard XFX Nforce 680i SLI Memory 8GB (4x2GB) Corsair CM2X2048-6400C5 Graphics Card XFX Radeon HD 5770 Sound Card Onboard Realtek HD Audio Monitor(s) Displays 22" Samsung Screen Resolution 1680x1050 Keyboard Logitech G15 Mouse Logitech Optical Mouse PSU 580W Mushikn HP-580 Case Antec Nine Hundred Cooling Noctua CPU Cooling + 5 Case Fans Hard Drives 2x1TB Seagate ST31000340AS in RAID 0 Internet Speed Cable Marvell Raid 0 Driver Problem on SATA III 6Gb on 64 bit install problems?
