Unable to upgrade to Windows 7 from Vista
I have tried to install Windows 7 Home Premium upgrade several times, I am
currently running Vista. When it checks for compatibility a message comes up
that I need to update the driver for the AMD AHCI Compatible RAID controller
and AMD RAID console and the installation is then cancelled. I have tried
doing this several times and restarting the computer. It says when I check
the device manager that I have the latest version and I can't find any newer
drivers on the internet for these. I have checked the Windows upgrade advisor
and it says my computer is suitable for Windows 7 and that the RAID console
etc are compatible. How can I get round this problem to get Windows 7
installed?

Hi,

You would need appropriate raid drivers from the motherboard manufacturer
that are Win7 compatible.

Re: Unable to upgrade to Windows 7 from Vista
yeah or maybe use an older driver. or look in BIOS to change setting to ATA
mode or compatible.
