Hope this is the place to ask. Just installed WinX64 and it sees all IDE drives but not the SATA. My mobo picks it up in the bios, so i did not use the F6 command when i installed WinX64 seeing as i was going to install the OS to my IDE drive and not SATA.

Should i then reinstall WinX64 and use F6 command and load Raid drivers for WinX64 even though i am not installing the OS to the SATA drive or can i install the RAID CONTROLLER afterwards in Win OS.

In the Device Manager it shows me the RAID CONTROLLER is not found. I did try to reinstall the software but it says its the wrong drivers. Now i did have a dual boot system of WinXP and WinX64 before and i used the same software to install the Raid Controller and it worked fine for both OS's 8O

I downloaded the correct RAID drivers from here

Help please

Ok problem solved, i had a x64beta version of the Raid driver files that i downloaded from the Asus manufacturer. Its in a seperate link on teh download page.... Although i had two x64 versions the beta one worked...

Ran the setup.exe and et voila works like a charm. Can now see all drives including SATA.
