Why is Asus Rampage IV Formula asking for raid drivers?

Seems strange, i get into windows 7 install and its asking for raid drivers :confused:

never seen that before and i rebuild rigs regular.

also when i point it at the raid drivers on a usb key, after the install the OS refuses to boot without the usb key. :confused:

"reboot and select proper boot device"

did you actually use a windows 7 usb boot device or just use the usb for drivers?

can you expand on what you did to fix it.......its been ****ing me off all afternoon

im expanding on this........its not after a specific usb drive, it just wants any usb drive :confused:

is there some bios setting causing this?

yep checked that, and bizarly the usb drive when i stick it in to boot the damn thing magically appears at the top of the boot list.......im told this is a known issue with x79 and raid setups.
