SB750 RAID drivers not in RTM.can't install.slipstream?
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.
Any ideas would be appreciated...as well as instructions on how to slipstream drivers into the Win7 RTM build. I figure if I can do that I might be able to get past this problem.
