Installing raid drivers during installation problem

[Graham Hughes]

Hi,



I seem to have hit a problem with installing the RTM of Vista.



I haven't had any trouble with the beta/RC versions.



The problem is, I have raid drivers on the motherboard which have to be
installed during the Vista installation. All previous versions have accepted
the drivers and the installation has taken place and then I've been able to
use vista fine.



I recently received my msdn discs, so thought I'd take the opportunity of
starting afresh. So I formatted the drive and commenced a totally clean
install. When it gets to the part for installing the raid drivers it finds
them on the disc, says it is installing them, but then the installation
falters and stops.



I've tried telling Vista to look on a floppy, a flash disc and in System 32
drivers on the C drive, all of which have the drivers on.



I run XP on one wd raptor drive and Vista on another as a dual boot system.




Gigabyte do not have any updated drivers listed.



The motherboard is a Gigabyte GA8KNXP, the drivers needed to be installed
are silicon image 3112.



Cheers



Graham

If your drives are configured as raid in the BIOS, Vista may already include
the appropriate drivers.

If it does how do I get Vista to use those?

I can't get passed the point where it says the additional drivers are
required and it won't install them.
