I have a brand new setup, using the asus z77 platform. I have the driver saved to a usb drive, Windows reads the driver just fine, and I have the RAID dives set up as one drive using the intel drive setup, (ctrl-i) but Windows refuses to install itself on the combined drive. Here are pics of what I see. http://imgur.com/a/mZSNF


Please help me out. Thanks.

How did you install your RAID drivers? From a USB thumb drive?

The same thing happened to me when I tried to install the drivers from a USB thumb drive. Through trial & error I figured out that after Windows installed the drivers from my USB drive, I had to remove the drive before clicking "Next". When I did that I was then able to select my SSD RAID-0 array and the installation continued without any problems.

EDIT: Disregard my 1st sentence. I re-read your post and see that you did install your drivers from a USB drive. :)
Try my tip and see if it works for you.

Thanks for the tip but it didn't help :-/. I loaded the driver and then it went back to the drive selection, I took out the usb and hit next and got the same error at the bottom.

I just booted from the cd and ran the startup repair. It didn't fix anything but gave me this error http://imgur.com/AZY1H9S. I am reinstalling Windows to try and fix it. It seems to be going at normal speed.

Update : windows seemed to have installed just fine. Then rebooted and now it has been stuck at the starting Windows screen for 20 min. What should I do now?
