So far i have not found a solution to this, other than installing 32 bit Win7. That isn't a solution though, as i have 8gigs ram that I need to use... not to mention I resent being forced to lose performance over this asinine issue. Either MS needs to lighten up with the signature requirement or AMD needs to own up and pay for the signature!
Use the Vista drivers from here:
Download AMD SB700/SB750 AHCI RAID Driver 3.1.1540.127 for Vista Driver for Windows Vista / Windows Vista64 - Softpedia
i had to revert back to xp then upgrade to win 7. The drivers load in xp for my raid but in the same case will not load for 7. Long pain in the butt process but it works.
good luck to ya
I tried those drivers, but thanks theog.
Quentin... really? XP 64bit to Win7 64 bit worked? I'm not opposed to that method if it works. I'd need to be sure it was going to work though, before going through all that.
That's how I got mine to work, had the same problem as you but I used xp to find my array and once I had xp up and running wit all the current updates and drivers I just did a new install with win 7 and my array was all ready there. I didn't even have to load the drviers for the array. I know its kinda of the long way around it but it's the only way I could get it to work. Good luck to ya!
i had planed on do the upgrade but it wouldn't let me jump from xp to 7 so i ended up doing the clean install.
I know this is way old thread but I ran into same prob. Never found a newer driver since. Now I use image saved to external and just wipe raid clean and restore. My image only includes win 7 with all drivers up to date SP1 and Norton 360. Works like a charm. I too use to have to start from xp, then install vista, then 7. Unfortunately, I didn't have a floppy so I couldn't setup raid until vista because that's when they started using USB drives. Also, before making image, shrink partition, then create image. After restoring, expand it t use your full raid drives. Hope this helps
