Re: Promise Fast Track 376/378 Raid Driver Problem installing Vista B2

I have a SATA and an IDE drive on my Asus A8V Deluxe mobo. I installed
Vista Home Premium retail version on my IDE because of the problems
with Promise raid and kept XP on my SATA. I could not see the SATA
drive in Vista. I don't have the keys to validate the Vista install
but at least I can play with it for 30 days.

Vista is apparently written on the Win 2003 code. There is no XP code
in Vista. I took out my Asus A8V Deluxe MOBO disk and installed the
Win 2003 driver for the Promise Fasttrak 378 Raid (tm) Controller. I
was then able to see my SATA drive.

Maybe if you use the Win 2003 raid drivers when installing Vista to a
computer with an Asus mobo your raid problems will disappear. I hope.

I am going to try doing the same when I get the retail version of Vista
that I ordered.

Fasttrak 378 Raid (tm) Controller problem in Vista. I too have the Asus

Thanks again.

Too bad we have no clue who your thanking as your posting from one of those
cheesy forums that leach off of Microsoft's news servers, thus we don't see
the thread.
