Problem - establish raid in Vista Ultimate

[Guest Lawrence E. Oliver]

System:

Intel 975XBX2 motherboard

2 GB of RAM

Core2 Duo 2.4 Mhz

WD Raptor 150 GB harddrive - Sata Slot #0 - came formatted apparently (never

allowed me to partition/format - just copied files & then expanded them)

 

Installed Vista Ultimate 32 bit Windows - DVD

 

Problem:

I'm familiar with installing raid drivers in Windows 2000 & Windows XP (both

32 & 64 bit); but, I never saw where I could install (F6) the raid drivers

in Vista.

 

What did I miss?

1.) In many cases, they should be there already. If it saw your disk array,

the drivers were there.

 

2.) If not, when you get to the screen where you pick where to install

Vista, at the lower left there's an option to add drivers. Click on that,

and you can install drivers from floppy, CD, DVD or USB flash drive.

Thanks Charlie! Guess that I just missed it.

 

Don't have a disk array yet, will build it after installation. Probably will

reinstall and use the Ultimate 64 bit.
