Installer and ITE8211 problems.
Beating my head against the wall here on this one to no avail. Trying to clean install win7 RC 7100 x64 on the machine in my signature and it won't let me get past the load drivers page. What drivers could it possibly need? Vista installer needed my RAID driver on this same machine but was happy to skip it and not load any drivers if I just disabled RAID.
Chipset on motherboard is Intel G33 and ICH9R
Tried so far:
-I pulled out all my hard drives except my raptor
-Disabled RAID in the BIOS
-Pulled out my memory card reader
-Disabled AHCI in the BIOS
Even if I try an upgrade install that fails on the starting services, service start up failed please reboot only to do it again.
Originally working with that thread, hoping for some fresh insight on this board.
Win7 x64 on ICH9R? - Storageforum
I learned something.
Took a fresh hard drive and did a clean install of vista on it (needed the F6 ICH9R drivers) and left RAID on and everything, no problem. Then attempted win7 upgrade, similar problem but I ran into a little more info, picture below.
ITE driver? What the hell, Vista has that built in. Intel doesn't have anything listed for Vista or win7 ITE, because it is supposed to be built in I would guess. I tried feeding it the XP x64 ITE driver for the heck of it but of course it didn't like that either. I know there are other people running the same chipset out ther with win7...
I got the ITE8211 x64 driver cab from the windows update catalog but win7 won't touch it as it claims it isn't signed.
