System:
Intel 975XBX2 motherboard
2 GB of RAM
Core2 Duo 2.4 Mhz
WD Raptor 150 GB harddrive - Sata Slot #0 - came formatted apparently (never
allowed me to partition/format - just copied files & then expanded them)

Installed Vista Ultimate 32 bit Windows - DVD

Problem:
I'm familiar with installing raid drivers in Windows 2000 & Windows XP (both
32 & 64 bit); but, I never saw where I could install (F6) the raid drivers
in Vista.

What did I miss?

Re: Problem - establish raid in Vista Ultimate

1.) In many cases, they should be there already. If it saw your disk array,
the drivers were there.

2.) If not, when you get to the screen where you pick where to install
Vista, at the lower left there's an option to add drivers. Click on that,
and you can install drivers from floppy, CD, DVD or USB flash drive.

Re: Problem - establish raid in Vista Ultimate

Thanks Charlie! Guess that I just missed it.

Don't have a disk array yet, will build it after installation. Probably will
reinstall and use the Ultimate 64 bit.
