trying to install vista x64 and im struggling to get it sussed. Its an ASUS rampage forumla motherboard with two 750gb samsung sata harddisks.

first attempt: RAID0
gets to partition part of vista installation but will not partition. Comes up with a number of different errors. i have tryed to install new raid controller drivers and the BIOS is correct though. Sometiems when booting up the PC the RAID boot screen says Status: Failure.

second attempt: RAID1
tested this and didnt even bother trying to install windows. When booted it would always say Status; Degraded on the RAID boot screen.

third attempt: IDE
last ditch attempt here. Get to the partition part of vista installation but moans that the device is not bootable. Will create a partition but once the partition is created it says that does not fit the requirements.

im lost, help lol :confused::confused::confused:

thanks
carl
 
update: IDE

removed one of the harddisks and it has started to install as IDE with one disc. I still want to run RAID0 so possible faulty harddisk?
 
After setting the BIOS to RAID did you fo into the RAID boot menu on start up, you have to press control I and setup the disc you want raided.

(The RAID boot manu comes up after the boot information)
