Wow, thought my posts were deleted, thanks for starting a separate thread.
It is the one that's 23mb and I verified that my mobo has the correct hardware so something else is stopping it. I DLed the Chipset drivers when I did the install of Win7, so they should be installed correctly. Order should go Chipset > Storage Controllers or reverse of that???
I'm getting ready to do a new clean install. I found the SP1 RC and am going to make a slip-stream disc using nLite. I'm also having some frustrating Bluetooth issues and am hoping these will also be resolved by a clean install. I'm still trying to decide if I should shell out the money for a new SSD, prob a OCZ one since they seem to be getting good reviews and are considerably cheaper than the Intel SSDs.
FYI
ASUS Driver: Intel(R) Matrix Storage Manager Driver V8.9.0.1023 for Windows XP/Vista/7 32/64bit
Hardware: Intel Southbridge ICH10R 6 Port SATA (3GB/s) AHCI Controller
Update... screw it, I'm getting 2 OCZ Vertex 2 60GB SSDs and I'm going to utilize my mobos dedicated raid ports to setup raid on these bad boys. At least I know my Marvel Raid drivers will install correctly. $260 for the two drives on Newegg right now, this better be the last upgrade I do for a while. Just upgraded mobo and cpu about one and a half years ago. Maybe I'll throw this Kingston into my laptop.
