Hello all,
there have been a couple posts, calls, emails regarding a difficulty to get a OS to load on a RAID array based on the Intel RAID controller in Windows 7 32/64.
I have put a driver up for download at http://www.evga.com/suppo...art_number=150-SE-E789
Download the zip file, extract the contents to a thumb drive, and during the installation, when prompted, navigate to where the driver was extracted to, this should allow you to install windows 7 to a RAID array.

What raid rom are you guys using in your bios? Are you allowing for trim on R0 ssds? 

I have always be able to use the default Windows 7 x64 drivers to install into RAIS 0 with no problems.  I have done this several times in the past.  The Intel drivers never worked for me on installation.  Is seems like Intel's drivers sometimes worked, but if it worked you had to have Windows already installed on a single drive and then with the second empty drive link to 2 drives into a RAID 0 configuration.   I have not done a clean install with Windows 7 drives with the 77 or 79 series chipsets, so they might be reacting differently. 

@ doorules,  "F6" it is, (if my wife lets me get the x79)

Trying to install Win 7 64 bit on the x79 under a raid array and having issues with the drivers. I have tried both the drivers you provided and the ones under the x79 downloads. I can use the 32 bit and it works and will install but will not reboot upon completion. The 64 bit drivers will not install. If you go through the normal install process you receive an error about signed drivers. Oddly I receive the same warning about the 32 bit drivers but the array then shows up. If you go through the repair option and try to install the 64 bit driver it will just fail and say "the installation has failed. "
 
What can I do differently to get this to work? Thank you.
