Drivers aren't being read

[xbonez]

I have set up my 2x500Gb Samsung Spinpoint F3 in a RAID 0 array and want to install Win 7 Ultimate 64 bit on it. At installation, it asks for the RAID drivers. I downloaded the latest drivers for RAID from MSI website (my motherboard is the MSI 790FX GD70) and put them on a flash drive (Kingston Elite 2GB), but when I scan the drive for the drivers, I get a message saying 'No device drivers were found'. What is the possible problem?

PS - I reads the folder structure when I browse. eg Raid / SBxx /
but when I reach the last folder and select it, it does not find the drivers.

Don't know if this will help, but have you tried downloading the drivers again and double-check if they copied successfully to the flash drive?

@soulbrotha: Thanks for the help. Yeah, I did try that too without success.

Anyways, I managed to figure out what was the trouble. I had turned on RAID mode for SATA ports 1-6, and had my 2 HDDs and my Optical drive on these ports. I moved my optical drive to SATA port 7 which is managed by a different controller, and for which I had not turned on RAID mode.
