Yesterday I put together a X79 and i7 3960X during post I get a series of beeps is this normal?
In bios I see all the drives both raid, normal and DVD and or Blueray.
I am not trying to OC this computer at this time. 
The computer completes post and the first part of Windows install but after the Windows splash screen it says that it needs DVD drivers.
When I try to search for the drivers the only drive that is reconized is X (boot). The computer does not see anything else.

    Thanks for the reply but when I try to add the drivers all I get is Boot (X) and no other drives including the DVD.

    You have the smaller of the drivers on a usb when at the window where you would normally pick your array? Make sure you are not plugged into a usb 3 port as it won't be seen till drivers are installed in os.

    OK I will try this
    I also looked at the new BIOS 029 and it may fix the problem

    Move the files from the dvd to a usb stick and try loading them via the usb stick
