It looked like the install was going to hang as it sat on the Win 7 dove wallpaper for a few minutes with just a mouse pointer, but it eventually got going.
I downloaded the '32-bit Floppy Configuration Utility for Intel® Matrix Storage Manager version 5.' from the Intel site, located here:Īfter creating the floppy disk, I set up a RAID0 array using CTRL-I at boot time (since I installed two new drives) and booted from the Win 7 DVD. The drivers are not Windows 7 drivers, but they work. This is a little late but I was able to get RAID to work on my Dell XPS Dimension Gen 2. Perhaps someone with more skill directly related to Windows drivers might have an alternative.or maybe Intel/Microsoft will give in and support the older ICH5R on Windows 7. would be the last version to support the ICH5R chipset. Somewhere in the back of my mind, I also remember seeing a ReadMe that indicated that 5. My guess is, even if you were to mix and match the versions (violating the license agreement), the iaStor.sys file would not support ICH5R.

Starting from 5., the iaStor.sys driver shrinks from 854KB to 245KB and the driver supports just ICH6* and ICH7* chipsets (compared TXTSETUP.OEM wiith 5. TXTSETUP.OEM = text file for Windows DOS/Setup installer IaStor.inf = text file describing registry entries, PCI vendor IDs, etc. IaStor.cat = signed Windows GUI driver catalog The iaAHCI.* files support the newer ICH* chipsets. (there are others too) I noticed the following: After looking at the drivers from versions 5., 5., 7. I downloaded a bunch of the versions from.

version from Intel's site.Device Manager says "The best driver software for your device is already installed." Needless to say, Windows Update doesn't do anything either.so I decided to do some more digging. After my post, I tried updating my driver in Windows Vista Ultimate with the 8. Unfortunately, I don't think I have good news for you.
I should be able to try Option 1 and post back. Backup all data (or install a new/blank SATA drive), remove the Intel RAID option in the BIOS (no CTRL+I) and attempt a SATA (non-RAID) install by booting the Windows 7 DVD.floppy to check if it recognizes the RAID0/1 disk and partition(s). Boot the Windows 7 DVD and use F6 option (if available) with the 8.

driver above in Windows Vista using Device Manager, reboot, then run the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor again (to see if it reports being compatible). I would try the following (apart from the solution on the Microsoft link you posted): When I installed Windows Vista Ultimate, I had to use the Intel 32-bit Floppy Configuration Utility with F6 during Windows Setup in order to have my RAID 0 disk recognized. The page for the Intel Series 5 driver download is. This chipset is also known as the Intel ICH5R (R = RAID) which appears (IMHO) to be supported under Windows 7 using the 8.
This probably explains the message above. In Windows Vista Ultimate - Device Manager, under Storage Controllers -> Intel(R) 82801ER SATA RAID Controller -> Driver the version number listed is 5. When I run the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor at it says "Not Compatible" and "The driver installed for this device is not compatible with Windows 7." Is there any hope of finding or ever seeing drivers from Intel or any other source that would allow me to install Windows 7 on this machine? It has a 3.2Ghz P-4 CPU and 4Gigs of RAM and performs VERY well for a machine this old. My PC is a 5 and a half year old Dell Dimension XPS Gen2 (Dell mother board Model 0U2424) and Intel chipset i875P with a 82801ER SATA RAID controller and a Dell Bios version A03. It appears from searching Microsoft's forums that the problem is no support for my RAID controller even if the most current driver is installed as described in this thread: "Windows could not update the computer's boot configuration. $("# forumsSearch # scopeData").val($(this).attr("scopeData")) $("# forumsSearch # scopeType").val($(this).attr("scopeType")) $("# forumsSearch ul.popup a").click(function() I have a problem either doing a clean(custom install) or upgrade of Windows 7 on a Vista SP2 machine.
