Hi everyone,
With Win-XP and Vista, you are required to install the RAID & AHCI driver(s) as a first step before installing the OS, which makes sense since the older OS needs to know the Volume it is being installed on.
The GA-P55A-UD7 Gigabyte instruction book manual doesn't mention anything about the installation sequence with Windows 7 (32 or 64 bit), even though Windows 7 was released before the P55A-UD7 MB.
Does Windows 7 have the Intel IRST and JM36X (& other) RAID/IHCI drivers available at the front end of its installation process, so you wouldn't have to go thru the Ctrl I (Floppy Disc) F6 business before installing the OS, or is it still just the same disjointed process as before?
I know the Marvel RAID/IHCI drivers can be installed after the OS is functioning, which is nice, but I probably would never use it in a RAID configuration since that controller is for the 2 SATA 6 Gb/s ports.
Thanks,
