OMG, why on earth did that work. Thank you very very much. Life saver. Might need you help with some over clocking too, like what voltage did you use for 4ghz

So again, what did you do?

When i try and install windows, it takes ages to boot up the disc, when i click install now it take like 10minutes to get to the next screen and start installing!!!

I have an SSD and two SATA Hard Drives.

I am having the same issue. I assumed it was the RAID/SATA drivers it was missing so I have the 64bit preinstall drivers on a USB pen but it still throws me this error saying "drivers are missing".

I had the same issue with the slow loading, but that went away when using the the USB stick with the drivers on, which got my hopes up only to be shot down again by windows being picky.

A more indepth explanation would be great!
