I have an ICHR8 and had to load the intel drivers from my USB key on the first install... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have an ICHR8 and had to load the intel drivers from my USB key on the first install...Nope, Intel ICH8R S-ATA RAID Controllers are fully supported by Vista. There is no need to load any Intel ICH8R textmode drivers while installing Vista. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
snugglealufacus Posted February 19, 2008 Posted February 19, 2008 http://rapidshare.com/files/78901590/Vista_32-bit_RAID.zip Just download and toss the files on a floppy or flash, and follow below. This works for the 32-bit version of Vista (tested on a DFI LanParty UT nF4 Expert)download this zip file containing the three drivers you need. extract them and put them on a floppy or flash drive (folder hierarchy doesn't really matter) in the vista installer, when it asks what drivers to load, click "browse" and go to the 'SATA_IDE' folder inside of the zip file above. Load the driver labeled 'NVIDIA nForce Serial ATA Controller'. Vista should now recognize your raid, but you want to load the next two drivers as well so you dont get errors later on.. go back to the load drivers page, and install the next to drivers in the following order (both located in the 'SATARAID' folder): NVIDIA nForce RAID Controller NVIDIA nForce RAID Device Now partition your RAID, and go to town. enjoy!

These nForce IDE drivers version 9.31 may work, but the use it not recommended.The best Vista nForce IDE drivers for all nForce chipsets from NF4 up are v.9.98.
