VIIV Driver won't install.

[Synomenon]

I have a Shuttle SD36G5M barebone PC. I have installed in it:

- Pentium D 940
- 2GB DDR2 6675
- Western Digital Raptor 150GB
- NVIDIA 7900GT video card
- ATI Theater 550 TV Tuner card
- NEC ND4570A DVD+-R/RW /DL / DVD-RAM / CD-R/RW burner
- Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005 w/ latest updates and roll-up packs.


I'm trying to install the VIIV software:

http://downloadfinder.intel.com/scripts...ldID=9739&strOSs=88&OSFullName=Windows*%20XP%20Media%20Center%20Edition&lang=eng


But it will not install. When I run the VIIV Test Utility, it tells me the software and hard drive tests did not pass. I have a Western Digital 150GB Raptor hard drive and am running WindowsXP Media Center 2005 with all of the latest updates installed. I have installed Quick Resume Technology Driver, the INF Update Utility for my motherboard (Shuttle SD36G5M w/945G Express Chipset). Do I need to install the Matrix Storage Manager even if I am not running a RAID array? I only have my single 150GB Western Digital Raptor and when I tried installing the Matrix Storage Manager it would not install, telling me something like I don't have the required hardware. Does NCQ on the Western Digital Raptor need to be enabled?

Basically, I can't get the VIIV software installed because of some software and hard problems the VIIV Test Utility thinks I have.

I can't get the Matrix Storage Manager installed and that may be causing the problem.

I have a single hard drive (Western Digital Raptor 150GB) and that may be why the Matrix Storage Manager won't install.

Anyone have any thoughts on this? (Please refrain from replying if it is only to say something negative about Intel and / or does not give any useful information).

You shouldn't need the matrix storage manager installed if you are using a single drive. Not sure why the VIIV software won't install for you, it's still a pretty new thing, so hard to say what the problem could be.
