Hi all

Can anyone please help me out setting up Vista x64 on Raid0 on a x38 Maximus Extreme.

I can Create the Array no problems, it's the installing the drivers I'm getting lost with.

What Raid drivers do I need to install and when do I intall them. Is it after I format the drives or before. Also when do I need to install the Intel Matrix Storage Manager driver?

I thought you just created the array in your bios, and then installed windows on that freshly created drive?

Yeah, that's about it although depending on the RAID controller it may still be necessary to give the Vista installer the correct drivers at the screen where you pick which drive to install to.

You'll need to use the Intel RAID drivers (not the AHCI ones)

The Intel Storage Manager is separate from the driver, the driver gets installed along with the OS, the Manager goes on afterwards along with all your graphics drivers etc.
