RAID 1 Gigabyte SATA Cannot find the array during Windows 7 install

Hello,

I have just bought two brand new WD 500 GB RE4 HDD's and connected them coorectly for RAID 1.
I have changed the BIOS and Pressed Ctrl+F to create the RAID and this has been successful.
When installing Windows you obviously get to the aprt where you need to load the floppy drivers to locate the drives...

I have downloaded ever driver from the Gigabyte support drive and loaded them onto a USB, not one driver can be seen when the USB is "Browsed" too...

How important is it that the drivers are on a floppy, as I do not have a floppy drive or access to a floppy and drives.

Also what driver should be downloading as I tried the 3.2.1540.17 one and that was not seen, so I just downloaded them all in an attempt for success.

Any one with any advice its greatly welcomes thank you in advance

Heya Golden sorry about that, just setting up my profile now as it goes, but I copied the post from another forum but changed the title, apologies;

The motherboard is a Gigabyte MA790FXDQ6, I hope this helps :) and Thank you

GIGABYTE - Motherboard - Socket AM2+ - GA-MA790FX-DQ6 (rev. 1.0) <-- This is the Gigabyte support site for my motherboard, hope this helps :)

Yep, I was just looking at that - and it seems you have the correct driver.

Is this a brand new installation of Windows 7, or are you reinstalling?

A brand new legit installation :)

Ok,

In your manual pg.91 it specifically refers to a Floppy Disk for the driver (its quite an oldish motherboard), so unless someone can work out how to do that from a USB, then I'm not sure how else to do it......

Something to check : in your BIOS, is the "USB Legacy" setting or similar turned ON?

ahh lame, if I aquired a USB external Floppy drive would that work do you reckon? and I shall just exit the set up and check that for you right now, thank you for your help btw
