ourgh, im having realy annoying windows raid problems,

Try loading driver... x64 unnasingend driver, but when i go to a x86 installation i dont get a unnasinged driver, i have the latest drivers from asus and cant find any way around it, and dont want to loose any ram in raiding a x86 setup :(

Don't you get the option to ingnore the fact that the driver is unsigned and run it anyway?
Click to expand...

nope...
And if i try it on x86, i load the driver, format the drive, click next it says "setup was unable to locate the partition or create a new partition see the setup logs for more information."

any idead... i may just forgett about raid, and run the hdd's as seperate

Just to confirm, have you changed the SATA mode in the BIOS from "[IDE]" to "[RAID]"?

As for running the drives independently, it's not a bad idea as you have less chance of losing all your data if one of the drives fails (in a RAID0 array).
Click to expand...

yep, i set the array up in the raid bois, and it shows up as one partition at 66gb in windows setup.
 
cmndr_andi said:
Ah, I see. So setup won't allow you to continue or format the "drive" unless you provide a driver?
Click to expand...

Pretty much but ive loaded every driver i can find that should work

lateste driver of win7 x64 unnasisgned,

Driver from cd x64 unassigned
i just don't get it :s

EDIT: just rebuilt the array, same sort of problem, only this time it will format the array without a driver, but will not let me continue, and i cant load unassigned drivers

ummmmmmm. urrrrrrr, i may just install it on a single drive, raptors are fast ish anyway, and if worst comes to worst ill get a segate momentus 500gb hybrid witch will be a little easyerto set up

EDIT: will play around with my array settings and stripe size before totally giving up

yes we are, but what comes first in youre minds, entertainning people on a forum with pictures of a flashy computer, or installing wondows 7 on that flashy compouter so you can use it ? :)
given up with raid

EDIT: now it is having problems booting from my dvd drives
double edit:but i have a old windows install on one of those raptors form when everything blew up :L
Triple edit: oh no wait, for some reason the install windows 7 setup wants to be ran in safe mode :L
Quadruple edit: this is realy starting to **** me around :/

You may have to load the drivers for the raptors first before windows setup can see them.

May I ask exactly what model number WD 36GB raptor you are using? Should say on a sticker on the drive or in the BIOS.
Click to expand...

i thought as much, but they were showing in windows setup before trying to raid them and they were vissable, but not any more for some reason

When they were in RAID then they weren't seen as "two WD raptor drives", they were seen as "AMD RAID Drive", which no doubt has drivers built into windows so it is easily picked up.

You will want to find the exact model number of your raptor 36GB drive, download the drivers and load them onto the USB stick/CD. We can help if you tell us the model number.

They wernt seen as amd raid drive, it was just a 66gb partition
 
its pretty much 100% a driver problem, any of you guys be kind enogh to get me a link for the AMD SB710 raid drivers download, as the asus ones dont work, or my motherboard, or possibly my drives are bricked

Or possibly you're doing it wrong? The Asus x64 RAID drivers for the 890GX/SB850 series work fine, and I suspect they are the same
Click to expand...

where am i going wrnog,
all devices presant in bios
set mode to raid
go into raid bios
set up a 128kb strip with the 2 raptors, with optionals of or on (didnt make a difference)

boot to windows cd, set up custom, and everything till i get to the hdd screen.
it shows a 66gb partition or unallocated space, you try to format it, and it git formats fine
you try loading the asus drivers pick win7 x64 raid, and get a error saying unnasigned drivers.
then when you click on the volume and click next it gives you another error message.
the error message when trying to continue is "setup was unable to create a new system partition or locate an existing system partition. see the setup log files for more information

It is possible, do you have an alternate disk to hand? AFAIK, so long as you have a valid license key then you can legally download a new copy of windows off microsoft.

That said, have you tried running some tests on the raptor drives in an existing PC, to ensure they are working correctly?
Click to expand...

no tests, but i have had them both induvidualy hold a working os

Trying a different windwos disc to rule out a windows 7 problem
 
same problem on a legitiment copy

could my problem be related to the fact i couldnt see them in the windows setup after unraiding?
the error is suggesting it is having troubles creating the 100mb system partition
