Problems with intel drive caching on z77

Bradmax57 · 19 Apr 2012 at 23:03

Having major issues with setting up ISRT or whatever you want to call it, Used it before so im not sure where im going wrong,

Basically plug in both the hdd and ssd, set sata mode to raid, install windows on the hdd, install chipet drivers reboot then the intel caching drivers, comes up as finding new volume etc etc and shows it working fine and dandy, then as soon as I reboot it says insert correct media etc, ive now reinstalled windows 3 times due to this problem any ideas?

It's the obvious, but perhaps worth checking. What is set to the first boot device? You don't have any USB sticks/DVDs its trying to boot off?

Yeah It was set to boot from the hdd first, managed to sort it tho, on my 4th windows install i decided to download the rst drivers direct from Intel's site rather than the ones from the asus site and it works a treat

Excellent

seems odd as the version I downloaded from intel was an older version, oh well at least its sorted

Strange, still as it's Intel's tech I'd trust their drivers

Indeed 10.8.0.1003 from intel and 11.1.0.1006 from asus but at least it works

Asus drivers are a bit dodgy

It won't be an Asus driver.

It's the Intel driver available to download from Asus.

It was really weird seemed to install ok and it said it was up and running in maximised mode etc but as soon as I rebooted it failed to load windows
