I just put together pc with an ASUS P6TP Revolution MB that has an on board Marvell 88SE6320 SAS Controller. I set up a raid 0 array with 2 SAS drive, made 2 partitions, and installed windows xp pro 32 bit on one partition.

I want to test windows 7 beta 64 bit on the other partition, but during installation windows 7 does not detect my array, and the raid drivers that came with my motherboard are windows xp and windows vista. I tried using these drivers but windows 7 does not recognize them as valid drivers.
Are there any suggestions on how I can get windows 7 to detect the raid 0 array?

Thanks.

Try downloading the most up-to-date drivers from the motherboard manufacturer or from Marvell's website, then load them on a flash drive and try to get Windows 7 to detect the RAID once you load up the drivers.

Thanks. I was able to get it installed, however, I had to use the amd driver on an intel processor,which didn't make any sense.
It worked so all is well.

I had the same issue with a Asus m3a79-t deluxe and 2 640 gb wd blacks in raid 0. I had to load the drivers onto a floppy and a usb, upon install of windows 7 beta, go to the repair section, click on to load drivers and then go back to clean install and start the install, worked with no problems

The "AMD" drivers simply refer to the fact that AMD had a x86-64 processor out before Intel. A lot of companies still name their drivers AMD64 even though they will work on either processor.

Hi
Asus m2n-sli deluxe nforce570. Install of windows 7 went without a problem, but my performance is poor. Any windows that I open, being IE8 or Control Panel takes forever. Much longer than single 150gb raptor. Now I have 2 1tb western digital in stripping mode. total 1800GB of space. I do understand that large drive might be little slower but not that much, especially since its raid-0.
Newest nforce vista 64 drivers fail upon a reboot, bsod.
