64 bit RAID drivers not working

[eclipszor]

Before I can install windows I have to upload the RAID drivers for my motherboard. There's 2 folders x86 and x64. I want x64, except only the x86 drivers will load. Even when I click "Load drivers that aren't compatible." the x64 drivers don't show up. I have used the x64 RAID drivers from the disk I was given with the MOBO and I have tried the drivers directly from the ASRock website. Oh, and I've checked both the x64 folders. They aren't empty...

Being that this is in the Windows 7 section of the forums, you do know that 7 has RAID drivers included right? You do not have to load them like you did with XP.

Unfortunately it doesn't have all the RAID drivers. They were required to be manually installed. Any way this is how I fixed it:

Since the installation couldn't pick up the drives with out the RAID drivers I installed the 32 bit drivers first and then my drives showed up. When it comes to the part you you need to select a hard drive to install windows on, I selected my RAID array and clicked the button on the bottom "Load drivers". I was then able to load the 64 bit drivers from the 64 bit folder for some reason...
