RAID Driver for Windows 10

[NightPatrol]

Hey guys,

I'm trying to install my RAID drivers for my motherboard (MSI A88X-G45) on Windows 10. On the MSI website the driver will appear if I select my OS to be anything but Windows 10 (Win XP, 7, 8, etc.). I assumed that MSI hadn't updated it yet, so I just downloaded it and the .zip file contained the drivers for windows 7, 8, and something else:

For every driver but the one labeled "WB64A" and "WB" it says it wont work for my OS. Fair enough. When I run the installer for those two, which by the way the folder looks like this:

It says I don't have AMD Catalyst Install Manager installed. I checked my control panel and there it was.

I don't really know what to do because I've messed with just about every BIOS setting involving drives and none of it made a difference. Any help would be very helpful. Thanks!

I edited your links within your tags but unfortunately the links don't work. Please make sure that they are in working order.

As for your issue, there seems to be a BIOS update available from your product support page, while your system and device drivers are located here. AS per your RAID drivers, its best you downlaod them from AMD's site. Look here for your APU's graphics drivers and look here for your chipset drivers.

Just to be sure please follow these steps to avoid any issues while installing your RAIDXpert app.

Please also perform a repair install in order to remove any corruption on your OS level.

So this is pretty late and maybe a necro but here's how I got this to work:

At this point Windows 10 recognizes the RAID Array by default without the installation of a separate driver. The driver was horrendously outdated anyway (Windows 7 64-bit being the only viable alternative).

So to setup the RAID Array first you had to put your motherboard into Legacy mode for the SATA configuration. To get Windows to work properly you actually have to switch this to (or back to) UEFI before installing Windows 10.

Once this is completed the Windows 10 install will recognize the drive, install, and actually boot into Windows 10 to finalize. That's where I've gotten to so far after hours of fighting with this, but I have other issues since I have the highly unstable 9590 FX... (joy).


I'm using two Patriot Ignite 960GB SSDs in RAID 0 on the ASUS Sabertooth 990FX motherboard.
