Hello Everyone,

I have got 2 SSDs and I want them to be in RAID 0 as OS Partition, I have Connected them AMD SATA Controller (White SATA Ports on the side and NOT the 5th Alien SATA Port), I have change SATA config to RAID and Created RAID from the RAID utility(Ctrl + F thingy). Now when i start windows installation (from pen drive, connected to USB 2.0 [I KNOW!!!!]), I don't see any drives to install windows, so I click on load drives, select drives, which windows wont accept just because they are not signed. I have tried latest drivers, I have updated BIOS, still no change. There are lot of zombie threads for this issue and none of them helped me.

I am developer so now i am learning how create signed drivers, but i am not sure about the result. Basically that's not my job. Asus must provide proper drivers but they don't. I am clue less and don't have any game plan. Any suggestions would be helpful.

Thank you in advance.

Thanks you Alexoiu for quick reply.

I Tried it, it didnt work. :(

I have tried the higher version of it also v3.3.1540.33 (windows 8 x64), I downloaded trial for windows for that ... no luck
 
Download the driver from Asus download site.

Version 3.3.1540.35&3.8.1540
Description
AMD RAID Driver V3.3.1540.35 for Windows 7 32bit & 64bit.(WHQL)
AMD RAID Driver V3.8.1540.3 for Windows 8 32bit & 64bit.(WHQL)
File Size
639.36 KBytes update 2012/12/07

1) Unzip the file to a Folder of your choice.
2) Click on the Folder named Disk
3) Click on the Folder named RAID
4) Click on the Folder named Win7
5) You will see two Folders that correspond to 64 and 32-bit version of the OS.
If you are using the 64-bit version, the Windows 7 Installer will need to be directed to the "FOLDER named x64".

The Installer will then ask you to confirm you want to add the AHCI Compatible RAID Driver
