Hi

Does anyone know if it supports Silicon Image 3112 raid controllers and raid sets "out of the box" and on installation as boot/system volume?

I have no idea. I cant even get it to install! have downloaded it 3 times and each one i have on cd does not work.
First one was corrupt downloa (i only got 1gb of it) "nd one when installing on boot up ona vista pc, said something about a file not found, and then i couldnt reboot to Vista as it had corrupted teh NTLDR file. And now i'm runnig the 3rd copy from inside Vista and get spwizeng.dll is either designed not ot run on windows or contains an error, then i have an autorun.dll is corrupt issue as well.

Does any one have a working copy they have used that works they could send me??

 

No need, i have a spare PC that's not used so i'm trying to install on that. And everyone else doesnt seem to have had problems installing it, just me.

 

Daemon tools?

Not only you twizz. I had a lot of problems too.

 

did you manage to get an good install in the end? I'm still trying. Last install killed the NTLDR again, but several repairs has got me vista back any how.

 

Eventually. I tried it in vmware and had to do some switching between the different iso images. I'd boot from one, get halfway through the install and it would crash then I'd boot from the second iso.

 

Yeah i want to use it on this machine but in multi boot, i got a gig ram but the vm works out a little short without thrash my hd with virtual memory.

I had it running on a separate pc but i have to use that as a server now.

however, this machine is raid 0 i need to know if it supports it out of the box

some people mention a missing file error on install... that's often because you don't have the full 512MB free for the ram drive that the install uses esp shared ram systems.

Well i got it to work in the end! Got a download that aws teh ISO and installed with no problems.
Cant say i spotted much difference between W7 and Vista at first glance. Main issue i have is that it hasnt picked up all teh devices i had setup in Vista, things like my sound card, the Network card and one unknown device (i didnt have any in Vista) So now i got to get that sorted. The network drivers were a pain in the rear to find for vista and liek an idiot i didnt keep them or have lost the file somwehere on teh hard disk.

 

alot of vista drivers will work fine in 7 some will not if the subsystem has changed
with 7s rapid move to RC a lot of vendors already have drivers

check out sevenforums.com for some good links to software/drivers

Creative have drivers for X-fi
nVidia have drivers for GeForce
Authentic had drivers for my biometric scanner (go figure)

lots of cool stuff out there to find
