RAID with Vista...

[homercles337]

I set up a RAID0 and proceed through the Vista install prompts to the "Load Drivers" section. Once here i have tried to load the drivers from two separate CDs. One came from Gigabyte and one has the newest RAID drivers from Intel. When i Browse to load the drivers Vista finds the them just fine, and shows them with the "show only compatible drivers" checkbox checked. However, when i try to load them i get the following error:

To continue installation, use the Load Driver option to signed 32-bit and signed 64-bit drivers. Installing an unsigned 64-bit device driver is not supported and might result in an unstable Windows installation.

Or i receive an error saying that i should contact the manufacturer and get the updated drivers. Any suggestions?

Vista 64 requires signed drivers I believe. Can you be more specific about the RAID chip you're using?

Of course, sorry. Im using the ICH10R Chipset. Its on an EX-58 UD4P. I have read quite a bit about this and it seems that Vista should have drivers, but this is not true and wont install them.

This is the software you've downloaded? The readme gives instructions on how to provide Vista setup with the drivers.

Yes, it does. However, it does not work as described. When i get to the select drive for install, there is nothing there save for "load drivers." When i try to load drivers is when i get the problems in my OP. In step 5.3.2 is this: "* Note: For Windows Vista you can use a floppy, CD/DVD or USB." I have tried two separate CDs and a USB drive. All produce the same result. I guess i will try to "F6" the things. Maybe this is where im going wrong. Thanks for the suggestions.
