Intel C22X (Haswell) RAID and Windows 7

[cactus]

Does anyone have experience with Intel RAID and the new chipsets? I am trying to install Win7 on a Supermicro X10SAE(C226) with RAID 10 and I keep getting an error that iaStorA device drive could not be installed. I have used the drivers from Supermicro, Asus, and direct from Intel; same problem with each. When I go back to AHCI, the drives are each seen without specifying a driver. TIA

This is a fresh install of Windows 7? Did you use F6 and force the driver. I suggest the one from Supermicro since it is their hardware. I all else fails maybe a call to Supermicro support.

New install and when in RAID, no drive show up. I go to load the driver and all the v12.7 drives do not work. I will try to get a hold of supermicro tomorrow.

I was using a USB to do the install. When I switched to a DVD, the drivers loaded without error.

catus, yes I have read that USB can be problematic.

Anyone know why and how to fix?

Switching to a DVD install solved my problems and I didn't look into it more. IIRC USB drives present themselves as SCSI devices so there could be some conflict with IRST(e).
