Windows 7 beta - 9th January

Yep, just done it and working fine. Just called up the drivers from the USB drive (though not sure if I had to, I just selected the option). It all went very smoothly and is working well on RAID 0 (touch wood as my last array on Vista failed :p).

Ah excellent! Wouldn't be able to point me in the direction of these drivers would you? Ta!

I just got the driver from my motherboard manufacturer's website (Gigabyte). I'm not sure whether the intel chipset drivers are motherboard-specific but I'd play it safe and get the driver from the website of whoever made your mobo.

Were they windows 7 specific or Vista64 ones? Asus only has Vista64 though I hear the drivers for the Intel controller aren't manufacturer specific.
 
They were generic 64-bit drivers that listed all the normal OSs but for W7. They still work perfectly (so far) though.

Give it a try without though as W7 may include the required RAID drivers already.
 
Trying to stream movies to my PS3. In WMP 12 media streaming options, when I select the folders to share and then save them, they are not saving and it links me back to selecting the folders and media to share. The default sample videos stream to my PS3 fine. I just cannot seem to customize the folder options?

Well you can with the beta so I imagine you'll be able to with the final release as well. I don't normally take the upgrade path but thought I'd give it a try for once and it all went very smoothly.
 
ok so i am trying the latest version - installed fine. i installed on a seperate hard drive in my pc. i also have a xp install on another sperate hard drive.

7 sees all the existing drives (including the xp install) apart from 1 - the one where all my media is stored. this was claased as the 'g' drive in the xp install. in 7 the dvd drive is classed a 'g'/.

trying to figure out why 7 in not seeing my media drive - all thats on there is mp3 and movies - is it becuase it is called g in xp and the dvd drive is called g in 7? if so how can i change the drive letters?
 
Hmm, just BSOD'd on the very final step of the W7 upgrade. Upgrading from a perfectly stable Vista64 install. Anyone else had this problem? Solutions?
