Need drivers for Win 7 Pro for Intel Server board - se7230nh1-e

[Hujorgen]

Converting an Intel server (Win2003) to a Win 7 Pro workstation. During the install the drives are not recognized. Tried driver from Intel - intel_ichx_msft_raid_v.4.4.0630.2006_whql_updated - but still not detected.

The BIOS is still set to SATA but I have IDE and ACHI? as other options.

I intend to use theses in a RAID mode in the end but am going to try setting the BIOS to IDE for the time being.

Any Suggestions on how to get the drives recognized during the install of Win 7 Pro?

Thanks in advance,

Hu

it seems that that system does not have any drivers for windows 7 as it was never designed for it and as such neither does it have drivers for 2008 or r2 so using r2 drivers are out of the question your best bet is probably AHCI and software raid once in your OS, you may need to break your current array to set it to AHCI i'm not familiar with that board's raid setup. i mainly use a s5000xvn in my office. To get windows to see the drives for that at install i had to load drivers manually after picking custom install for 2008 r2.
