Help needed on Windows 7 Installation(RAID issue)

[srinathtk]

Hi All,

I searched the whole forum and could not get an answer. That is why this post.

I have 2 SATA hard disks on my system with Windows XP SP3 running without any issues. I added second SATA to install Windows 7.

Now I am trying to install using the "Custom install option" as I want to have dual boot with Windows XP and Windows 7. While installing Windows, during the setup, it asks which disk Windows 7 to be installed, when I select the Drive, it says it cannot install.

When I click for details, it asks for Ali RAID driver M5289. Next when I try to update driver after inserting the driver CD, it do not recognise the RAID driver.

After this I checked on the BIOS setting and confirmed that RAID is enabled.

Now I am struck and do not know what to do next.

Can any one kindly help me here??

Thanks in advance for your great help.

With regards,

Are you are currently running a RAID setup? If so - which one? Raid 1 or 0?
