I'm trying to install Windows Vista Ultimate x64 on my newly built core i7 rig with asus p6t motherboard. I have 2 seagate 320gb drives in RAID0 and a samsung 750gb for storage. When i get to the part in vista installation where you need to choose the HDD to install on.

It says:

"This computers hardware may not support booting to this disk. Ensure that the disk's controller is enabled in the computers bios."

Yes, i have the storage configuration on RAID in BIOS.

Then i load the intel ich10r RAID drivers off a flash usb drive. I press next on the installation procedure and i get a message saying:

"Windows is unable to find a system volume that meets its criteria for installation."

I have no clue why it's doing that...

So any ideas how i could fix this problem?

Did you create the array in the raid bios before starting the windows install?

Yes. But i guess it's problem solved because I decided not to wait for an answer and I installed Windows 7 instead :D and that worked out fine.
