Promise Fast Track 376/378 Raid Driver Problem installing Vista B2

[Guest]

I have a Promise Fast Track 376/378 Sata Raid controller built into my
NForce2 Mobo. I have 2 raptor 10,000rpm running Raid 0 and the driver disk
that came with the mobo don't work with the Vista Beta2 X86 32bit
installation. I have looked all over the net and found many people with the
same problem but no solution. Can anyone in here help. I have tried the
Promise website and MSI the maker of my MOBO and nothing. The Model of the
raid controller is PDC20376. Thanks.

Not sure if this will help, but I also have a Promise 378 STA RAID controller
on my mobo (ASUS K8VSE-Deluxe). Originally the Vista Beta 2 install wouldn't
see my SATA drive (I'm not running a RAID configuration, just a single drive)
but what I did was copy the contents of the WinXP folder of the Promise
driver disk that came w/my mobo onto the root directory of another floppy.
When I inserted that floppy and clicked "Find Driver", the install program
installed the drivers and was able to finally see my drive.

Thanks that worked, that's so dumb though, why wouldn't it search through the
folders for the driver. Looks like I have to drop a suggestion.

I tried this and it didn’t work for me. It saw the drivers but when I tried
to install it said that it the drivers were missing from the disk. This cant
be though cos I just used the same drivers to install XP.

HEEEELLLPPP PLEASE!

I have a MSI K8T Neo with Promise fast track 376/378 drivers.

I have exactly the same problem on the same hardware. So far there's been no
solution... if it wasn't for the people who seem to have it working, I'd
suspect that there simply is no driver which works with Vista.

It's that kind of head-against-wall frustrating situation which is going to
make Vista customers quite unhappy if it's not fixed. Unfortunately I also
can't figure out exactly who to blame.

Sigh.

I installed Windows Vista with no Issues onto my IDE Raid HDD which is off
the promise fast track 376/378 Raid Controller. The Motherboard i have MSI
K8T Neo.

Since i do not have a floopy i put the promise fast track 376/378 (XP
Drivers) onto a CD and loaded them off it and have had no Issues. It sees
all my SATA and IDE raid drives.

Too bad we have no clue who your thanking as your posting from one of those
cheesy forums that leach off of Microsoft's news servers, thus we don't see
the thread.
