Shadowfactor Posted May 6, 2009 Posted May 6, 2009 Hey guys, Been a while since i've posted, I just got back from a 4 month internship in Germany. I havent been keeping up with the computer scene while i was there either I looked around a little bit and I can't find any Windows 7 drivers for my rig ( specs in sig) but I've read about people running systems with the same mobo as me or similar models. Where is everyone getting windows 7 drivers from.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulktreg Posted May 6, 2009 Posted May 6, 2009 haha ya that does... Now what about Raid Drivers ??? Can't really help with that one but does the same not apply? Cheers Paul Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_bowtie Posted May 6, 2009 Posted May 6, 2009 Win7 should install ALL drivers by default...if it doesnt it will as soon as an internet connection is established...It wont let you install old drivers...and teh raid drivers for Vista will work just fine...

hardnrg Posted May 7, 2009 Posted May 7, 2009 what about Raid Drivers ??? RAID drivers for an OS array are loaded during the install, this can be by USB flash drive, so just download the Vista driver, save/extract to flash drive, and away you go Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_bowtie Posted May 7, 2009 Posted May 7, 2009 and depending on chipset the Raid drivers are already included in Win7.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadowfactor Posted May 8, 2009 Posted May 8, 2009 (edited) okay so I burned the windows 7 64 bit version to a dvd and did all that stuff. go to install it Everything went fine until I got this error. It talks about a missing cd/dvd driver... I only have one DVD drive/burner and it's the one the computer is installing from.. Kinda confused... I tried to just hit next but it won't let me continue.. any ideas would be great! I have a Lite-on LH-20A1L sata dvd burner Edited May 8, 2009 by Shadowfactor Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_bowtie Posted May 8, 2009 Posted May 8, 2009 if you are installing Raid you'll need to use an IDE drive or correctly select the device in the boot order.... on my CH9 board if you use a SATA dvd rom drive you set the boot order to boot from that drive NOT regular CD_Rom in the bios...look for the serial number in the boot devices....

Shadowfactor Posted May 8, 2009 Posted May 8, 2009 it detects all my SATA/RAID hardrives tho... but i'll try setting the boot order in the bios for the lite-on DVD driver instead of cd-rom Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadowfactor Posted May 8, 2009 Posted May 8, 2009 Okay so I went into BIOS and set the boot drive to LITE-ON made sure the regular cd-rom option was not in the boot order popped in the windows 7 disc. Got the same error as listed above. Any ideas ? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ertxz18 Posted May 11, 2009 Posted May 11, 2009 Question: I have a Core 2 Duo with 4 GBs of RAM, and I installed Windows 7 RC 32 bit Ultimate. But when I go to System, it tells me I have 4.00 Gbs of RAM, yet 3.25 Usable. My motherboard does support over 4 GBs of ram, what's going on?
