Trying to install Windows 7 Ultimate x64 on an ASUS M5A97 mobo with AMD SB850 RAID, two WD 750GB drives configured as RAID 0. No drives are recognized by W7 install, so I choose Load Drivers. I put the drivers on a USB stick. Install finds the drivers there, starts loading them, then comes back with 'Installing an unsigned 64 bit driver is not supported and may result in an unstable Windows installation.'
Round and round she goes. I downloaded the latest drivers from ASUS website. I'm willing to take the chance on loading an unsigned driver Bill Gates! I saw other posts on here that recommend clicking Repair instead of Install, but I don't see where that option is. All I am given as options is Upgrade or Install.
If you also love to explore the underground world, this is an adventure that will truly enchant you. Nowadays, this is certainly not true. Chertezhi modelej korablej iz faneri. Because of the remoteness, legends of outlaws, lack of roads and inexplicable mysteries linked to this area, there was once a local saying “If no troubles, don’t go to Homolje”. If you want to rest your eyes by looking at endless green meadows, broad horizons, dense beech forests, Homolje can give you so much.
AMD Chipset AHCI and Windows 7 64-bit file copy freeze. After having the computer freeze 6+ times while trying to copy a file, I decided to finally uninstall all AMD AHCI drivers. Windows then reinstalled the default Standard AHCI 1.0 driver and now the computer copies files fine. I'm not exactly sure what has happened to suddenly cause the.
Choosing upgrade tells me to boot Windows first. But this is a brand new install so. I see this problem has been ongoing for at least the last 18 months; surely someone has a solution that actually works? ETA: I just found the disk for Windows 7 Ultimate x64 with Service Pack 1. I was hoping this obvious Microsoft issue might have been fixed but (drum roll please) - NO!!!
BTW the ASUS drivers are WHQL. GhislainG/RetiredChief - I did download those drivers on the AMD site; unfortunately, those are post-install drivers. They don't have a method of e.g.
Putting them on a USB stick and having the OS installer load them from there. RetiredChief - The message is not a warning that can be bypassed, otherwise I would have gladly 'taken the chance'. But it is apparently a fatal error. I also tried using F8 during boot of the install and chose 'Disable Signed Driver Requirement' as my boot option, but that didn't work either (same result). So I decided on a new course. I changed the BIOS back to the default mode of AHCI. W7 didn't even ask me for a driver!
And it 'sees' both disks! It appears that the AHCI and RAID drivers are identical, so I'm going ahead with the install, then I will use Clonezilla to image the install, set the BIOS back to RAID, and restore the image. I'm hoping that will work (fingers crossed). If not, I'll be calling Microsoft support, which means ponying up my credit card until they finally admit it is their issue and refund it.;-(.
I found a solution to this problem that will hopefully work for most. Some skill is necessary since it is a bit complicated. The component to make this work is an extra harddrive not essential to setting up the RAID array. I assume that you have a bootable Windows 7 x64 install, if not, do a fresh install to a single harddrive and follow these instructions: 1. Ultrasurf download chrome store online. Install the Windows 7 x64 RAID driver for your motherboard and re-boot. Install the harddrives to be used for the RAID array. Set the desired RAID array (0/1/5/10) up in your BIOS.
