Can't Install Win 7 RC 64 bit on K8N-E Deluxe
Can't seem to get the Win 7 RC 64 bit to install on my K8N-E Deluxe MB!
I am attempting a clean install onto a RAID 0 array attached to the nvidia SATA ports on the MB, and no matter what I do, I can't get it to create or recognize the two disc array. I have tried multiple driver loadings from the installation menu, and the Legacy NF RAID boot patch, and still install only recognizes one disc in the array, and also says that it can't even install to that disc, as is is not a valid boot device.
I have enabled the RAID option ROM in the BIOS, and set the Primary Master and Slave as RAID. Here are the system specifications:
MB: Asus K8N-E Deluxe
Processor: AMD Athlon 64 2GHz 3000+
Memory: 2Gb
Chipset: nforce3 250Gb
Video: nvidia GeForce 6600GT
BIOS: AMI 1011.004
Storage: 2-WD2500JS SATA drives on SATA1&2 on the MB
I just wanted to test the 64 bit version on my hardware so I could make the decision to install the 32 or 64 bit Home Premium in October.
Has anybody had any luck installing Win 7 64 bit on a K8N-E using the nvidia onboard RAID?
Thanks for any help.
