I cannot install windows 7 x64 with AMD/ASUS RAID driver

Trying to install Windows 7 Ultimate x64 on an ASUS M5A97 mobo with AMD SB850 RAID, two WD 750GB drives configured as RAID 0. No drives are recognized by W7 install, so I choose Load Drivers. I put the drivers on a USB stick. Install finds the drivers there,
starts loading them, then comes back with "Installing an unsigned 64 bit driver is not supported and may result in an unstable Windows installation." I downloaded the latest drivers from ASUS website which are WHQL certified (as are the one's on the motherboard
disk). I saw other posts that recommend clicking Repair instead of Install, but I don't see where that option is. All I am given as options are Upgrade or Install. Choosing Upgrade tells me to boot Windows first. But this is a brand new install so...
I tried pressing F8 as setup was booting and chose "Disable Signed Driver Requirement" but that had no effect at all. If I turn off the RAID W7 sees both disks and happily installs. I see related posts going back to 2009; surely someone has
a solution for this issue?

Hi guys,
I have been struggling with the same issue.
Win7 x64. Gigabyte GA-X79-UD3 Mobo with Intel core i7-3930K at 3.20 GHz
Marvell 88SE9172 SATA RAID controller with two Hitachi 500 GB spinning disks configured as RAID1
Windows would get to the point of asking for a mass storage drive. It would not see the RAID I had created.
Tried every driver I could find. Tried drivers from the "Station Drivers" website. Tried Marvell drivers for the same chip from the ASUS website. No luck. Tried loading from CD as well as USB flash drive. Always the same result... Windows would find
the drivers appropriate for the hardware found, I would select the RAID version, and after a few seconds, would report that the drivers were unsigned, and the installation was not supported for 64-bit drivers. Clicking OK would take me back to the load drivers
display with no new drives listed in the available drives window.
I tried hitting F8 during startup, and selected the "allow install of unsigned drivers option". That didn't do ANYTHING. Still the same error.
Someone suggested putting the drivers in the root directory. That didn't work. I also disabled all other drives except one CD rom and a USB drive and made sure that my RAID array was the first drive in the boot list.
Tried doing a windows repair, as someone else suggested. (This is an option that is available on the install disk I am using. It's enabled as part of EMS (emergency management services) in setup. Anyway, this was reported to be a workaround
to the signed driver issue. It would allow me to browse to the individual files, but no matter which one I selected, the response was "cannot find hardware appropriate to the driver selected" or some such nonesense. So I gave up on that.
Doing the install with the controller in IDE mode with just one drive connected, would result is Windows installing without a hitch. The problem was clearly when I presented 64-bit windows with a controller in RAID mode.
Long story less long, here's what worked for me....
Out of desperation, I began trying other subfolders in the driver lists. The Gigabyte manual indicated that the AMD64 subfolder was the correct one for the Marvell controller, when using RAID mode with 64-bit Windows. After trying every subfolder of
every driver I could find, the driver in the i386 folder actually worked. It initially came back with the same error about unsigned drivers, but after clicking OK, my RAID drive showed up in the list. I have been able to partition and format
the drive from within Windows setup, and am continuing with the install now. Hopefully won't be any problems booting from the drive post install, but so far it looks good, and I'm relieved that I was able to get it this far.
The whole process has been one of the most frustrating computing experiences I've ever had. This is what it was like back in the 90's when building PCs from scratch. I'm amazed that in this day and age the process is still so poorly documented
and filled with potholes, traps and caveats. Shame on the entire PC industry for allowing this to continue. I'm not asking that they jump in and try to automate it and do all the thinking for me (their solution for everything lately)...all I'm asking for it
clear, concise and accurate INFORMATION.
With the right information, and software that provides accurate feedback, this would all be easy...and even fun.
Hope this helps someone faced with the same problem.

Cannot install Windows 8.1 with BootCamp on Mavericks

I have a brand spankin' new Late 2013 27" iMac, fully updated, with a 3TB Fusion drive. I have thrice attempted to install Windows 8.1 via BootCamp 5.5, with the 64bit edition DVD on the SuperDrive, and allotting 1TB out of the 3 available. There are no other partitions besides OS X and the BootCamp partition. The Windows installer successfully begins, but each time it cannot locate any partitions to load itself on. The list is just...blank.
I've already scoured the forums here for support, and tried several claimed remedies, such leaving all USB ports clear (except for the SuperDrive) until after install (even removing the flash drive with the Apple support files), and had a long chat with Apple Care today...they said the engineers would get back to me in about a week. I read somewhere that hard drives over 2.2TB may be an issue, but Apple states that Mavericks has no problem with this, leading me to believe maybe Windows 8.1 is still lagging in this department.
To that end, I recall someone, somewhere mentioning how to carefully partition the drive to get around this, and that Windows absolutely, positively, had to be on the 4th partition, including the hidden partitions such as Recovery, Boot OS X, etc. Only problem is that Disk Utility is showing way more hidden partitions than this, and they seem to be unremovable.
Does anybody have a solution/workaround for this, or are both products still too new to have a found a way to play nicely together?

I did it. After fours hours and two hours on the phone with Apple support, I installed Windows 8.1 to my iMac. So, I just wanted to share it with you.
System:
iMac 2013, 27" monitor, 1T fusion drive, wirless keyboard, magic mouse.
Software:
OS X 10.9
Windows 8.1 full version 64bit
(I skipped some steps such as type in software key, choose language, etc.)
1. For my last try, Instead of using Bootcamp assistant to setup partition for Windows, I used disk utility to create an 100G space for Windows with FAT file system and named it BOOTCAMP.
2. Insert Windows CD into the USB super drive.
3. Shutdown iMac.
4. While press and hold the left "option" key, turn on iMac.
5. Select CD/Windows icon to boot.
6. Choose Custom installation
7. Select the partition named BOOTCAMP (I am not sure why it is 200G; I assigned 100G. Well...)
8. Format
And the rest is history. By the way, when Windows restarts during installation, make sure to press and hold the left "option" key to boot up Windows.
I do not know why but I am happy now. As a matter of fact, I am sending this message from Windows 8.1 running on my iMac.
Good luck to you.

Cannot install Windows XP on MS-6330 w/RAID

Hardware:
MSI-6330 K7T Turbo Limited Edition w/RAID (latest BIOS - 3.6)
256MB Kingston (2 sticks of 133mhz 128mb, the recommended memory)
AMD Athlon XP 1800
Hercules 3D Prophet 4000XT (kyro chipset)
3COM 3C905B NIC
Standard CDROM and Floppy
x2 Maxtor 30gb Diamondmax Plus 8 HDD's
Before I begin, all parts (CPU, mem, etc.) is tested good in another system. Tested in system with a MSI-6330 K7T Turbo 2, tests pass, and XP installs without ANY hitch. I have also been a PC tech by trade for the last 8 years, not tooting my own horn, just letting you know I have tried everything I know. I have also tried searching the net, and this forum, and have'nt been able to come up with anything concrete.
So, Windows XP Pro will not install for anything. I have set the array, deleted array, tried drives on just the standard IDE channel. Tried just one HDD on array, then standard. Booted with fail-safe BIOS settings, etc etc. Tried everything.
Windows starts the install, feed it the drivers from MSI's site for the RAID (PDC20265R). From there, I get a variety of errors. Sometimes it will start and finish the format of the drive, sometimes it will error and say that the disk is corrupt (it's not). Sometimes it will finish formatting, copy some files, then say it can't copy. Sometimes it will just blue screen and give a "stop" error. The stop error has always been random, no particular one.
I sent this board back to the dealer and they said it is fine. But they had a drive with XP already installed, they didn't try a clean install. I did try putting one of the drives into my other system with the K7T Turbo 2, install XP, and installed the inf for the RAID on this board in question. Didn't think it would work, and it didn't.
ANYONE have a solution? Any ideas? I am at a brick wall. And really don't want to junk this board just to get another one and a PCI RAID card.

I am having very similar issues with the K7T Turbo-r limited edition(w/ raid) board. I tried to upgrade to bios v3.6 and the raid funtion failed to load and then would lock on the Windows XP screen. Did safe mode boot and locked up on gernuwa.sys. Went all the way back to bios v2.6 and worked my up to v3.1, where the problems started over again. v3.0 seems to work just fine. In v3.1 they changed the promise raid in the bios. I have downloaded the latest drivers for the raid on that board, but have not installed yet. To install these drivers, do I just right click on .inf file and install from there, or should I use the liveUpdate program to do it? I am hoping that these new drivers will fix the raid issues and allow me to upgrade to a newer bios.

Cannot Install Windows 7 with AHCI mode

Hello,
Having just submitted a support ticket to MSI, I was curious to see if anyone else has experienced a similar issue or may be able to suggest a possible resolution.
I recently purchased a MSI Z87-G41 PC Mate for an htpc build.
I've ran into an issue of not being able to install Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit onto my ANY SATA 3 hard drive with SATA mode - AHCI enabled in bios.
Main parts for the build are:
Motherboard: MSI Z87-G41 PC Mate
CPU: Intel Core i3-4130 3.4 3 FCLGA 1150
RAM: G.SKILL Ares Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600
PSU: Corsair Builder Series CX 600
OS HD: Crucial M500 SSD
During Windows install and selecting the SSD in which to install windows onto..
Windows will prompt with: “Windows cannot be installed to Disk x Partition x. (Show details)
Afterwards, I’ll select ‘Load driver’ and select the “Intel Rapid Storage Technology Driver for 8x series,” provided by MSI drivers download page. Confirmed as a valid driver for the SATA AHCI controller.
"Select the driver to be installed" lists: “Intel(r) 8 Series/C220 Chipset Family SATA AHCI Controller” Looks good, then progress...
Followed by clicking on next- “Setup was unable to create a new system partition or locate an existing system partition. See the setup log files for more information.”
I've tried installing Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit via USB drive and OEM disc to no avail.
Performed a test using the same install procedure with my primary desktop computer which uses a MSI z68A-GD65 (G3) motherboard (AHCI enabled.) I was able to install windows to my Crucial M500 SSD without issue.
Confirmed the issue occurs while testing with different hard drives. I have yet to be able to install windows with AHCI enabled on this motherboard.
HDDs tested include:
WD Black WD5002AALX 500GB
Seagate ST3100524AS 1TB
Once I change SATA mode from AHCI to IDE, I was able to install windows without the need of pre-loading the Intel 8 Series SATA/AHCI driver.
Afterwards having installed windows, I decided to test by switching SATA mode back to AHCI. Doing so will cause the machine to bsod upon booting to windows. Later, I performed the registry edit to change IDE to AHCI mode within windows. Followed by again enabling AHCI in bios.
I was able to boot while in AHCI mode temporarily a couple of times until this method stopped working. Any attempt past the bios post, windows will not boot.
I've also tested the manual and XMP profile RAM settings as suggested by the sticky'd thread here https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=178019.0
I would like to possibly resolve the issue in regards to utilizing AHCI mode for optimal performance for my hard drives and hot swap capability.
When I have more time, I suppose I can run a RAM test; but so far I simply believe it may just be a SATA controller or driver conflict with the motherboard.
tl;dr Cannot install Windows 7 onto any hard drive with AHCI enabled. Works fine with IDE mode.

** Update as of 6/3/2014 ** Issue resolved.
Received my replacement motherboard from RMA. Replacement is working without any issues with SATA mode set to AHCI.
Tested by running Windows 7 and Windows 8 install - both detected my SATA SSD and other HDDs as applicable drives to install Windows onto. Pre-loading the SATA controller drivers was not necessary. Windows boots up immediately without any delay now. Benchmarks are showing valid stats for SATA3 devices.
Also to note, the replacement motherboard came with bios version 1.5, compared the one I sent back which came with 1.6. In case if that had anything to do with it. Not going to risk updating the bios at this point.

Cannot install windows, starting to get really pissed off with this PLEASE HELP

ok, i'm starting to get agitated with this.
i cannot install windows XP, 2003, OR Longhorn on my machine.
right now, i have the following setup:

alps 3.5" floppy drive
antec true blue 480wt PSU
i do the following:
format with maxtor cd
boot from OS cd
start setup, reboot, continue
the farthest i can get is 'registering components/completing installation' i either get a blue screen stop error which isnt the same everytime, or it just locks up and doesnt do anything.
ran the memtest checker and get errors on test #4
i had a DIMM of kingston that gave the same errors, so i RMA'd it and got another. same errors, so i RMA'd again and got a Crucial stick. same errors.
so i RMA'd the motherboard since i figured it had to be that. and it improved from the problems i had earlier. (the problems i had before were worse before.)

Cannot install windows 8 on Pavilion Elite M9600T (KX745AV-ABA) with Vista 64 BIT

I cannot install windows 8 on my computer. I contacted Microsoft and he worked on it for three hours and said I had a graphics card driver problem.I am using a Nvidia GeForce 9800GT which came with the computer. When I try to update to the latest driver (306.97) Which is on the Microsoft update site and also on the Nvidia site The screen says no signal and goes to sleep. I have been working with a Nvidia rep for a week now and he says it is not their driver that is causing the problem and that I should contact HP. I don't know what else to do. I removed the working Nvidia driver (SP41066) also and Tried to install windows 8 and recieved the same message "Windows installation was not successful" and returned me to Vista 64 Bit. I don't know what else to do. Can someone please help or am I just out of luck. Thank you,
Gene
This question was solved.
View Solution.

You're welcome mrchips108
By the way up for one more go. I was finally able to find someone with a possible solution for you. the user yashoshah on the tomshardware forums had the problem:
"Windows installation was not successful. Your previous version of windows will be restored. Please do not switch off your computer during this time"
SOURCE: Windows installation not successful
He fixed it by removing the HDMI cable and connecting to the monitor through DVI. After it was installed he went back to using HDMI.
How is your video card connected to the monitor: what cable and what interface is on the monitor and what interface are you using on the video card? Perhaps the Microsoft rep you spoke to was partly correct about the video card being the problem. It might be that the driver built into Windows 8 has a problem with certain configurations.
Don't forgot to say thanks by giving "Kudos" to those that help solve your problems.
When a solution is found please mark the post that solves your issue.

Unable to install Windows 7 x64 on Partitioned 3TB

Since my exhaustive search of these forums and Google provided no substantive hits, I decided to do it myself and install Windows 7 x64 on partition 3 (500GB) of a Western Digital 3TB drive via Boot Camp.
I can say after two days of trying that it is not possible as the Windows 7 installer will not allow it to continue on said partition due to it being on a GPT drive, even after using the installer to both reformat the target partition as NTFS as well as deleting and reformatting same partition. I even tried rebooting after deleting to see if the installer will proceed (I read this possible solution from a Vista x64 installation issue); the installer has steadfastly refused to install. The same installation DVD works just fine on 2TB drives that have been partitioned via Boot Camp.
Not sure what else to try, though I did read somewhere about possibly using GPARTED to format the target partition, but I think the true underlying issue may be "standard" EFI versus Apple's EFI implementation which is preventing Windows 7 x64 from installing.
Does anyone have any suggestions on this matter, or is this a dead-end until Apple or Microsoft changes something?

I have a PowerMac dual 2.3 G5, a Mac Pro dual 2.66 Duo (2006), and Mac Pro dual 2.8 Quad (2008) and a MacBook Pro 2.26 Duo (2009 Unibody).
I was attempting the install on my home 2008 MP. The 2006 is at a work site so cannot be considered in my project.
I HAD 1 2TB drive in bay 1 that had 10.6.7 and Win7 x64, 2 3TB in bay 2/3 (bay 2 had 10.6.7 backup OS while bay 3 was purely a data drive) and 1 1TB WinXP x86 in bay 4.
So I just replaced the 2TB with a third 3TB and needed to keep Win7. Now I'm faced with either SHRINKING WinXP in bay 4 in order to partition it into two with Win7 on the other partition, or wiping out 10.6.7 partition the just-replaced 2TB and cloning my WinXP drive onto that.
I only need probably at most 500GB for both WinXP and Win7, primarily for development purposes as well as PC-only gaming; I don't need a 2TB drive for them and I'd rather retask the 2TB drive into my unRAID media server.
Which means I don't want a 3TB Windows only solution.

Install windows 7 x64 on 2.2TB hdd.

Hi all,
This is my first time on this forum.
I could use some help on an issue regarding installing win 7 x64 on a 3tb hdd.
I'm running the z77-g43 wich should work fine with such sized discs.
I converted it to GPT, tried booting with Legacy+UEFI and just uefi.
Install from dvd boot or from windows on a spare 320GB hdd.
Every time i get a 'cannot install windows on a GPT-drive'.
I even tried installing it on a MBR conversion, but then I can't make 2.2TB+700GB partitions....
Anybody got some ideas ?

Crackling sound on Windows 7 x64 with K9N neo V 1.0

Hi
I installed Windows 7 x64 ultimate on my computer yesterday and everything worked fine except the audio, I installed the latest realtek drivers from MSI for x64 windows vista/7. But still I got the problem that it play fine and suddenly it "cracks" for less than a second and then it's like fastforwarding the missed ~halfsecond.
My hardware is:
4600+ X2 amd athlon
Ms-7260 ver 1.0 k9n neo nForce 550
6Gb of 667 MhZ kingston ram (2x2GB, 2x1GB)
GTS250 1024 mb MSI
samsung 500gb internal sata hdd (which windows 7 x64 ultimate is installed on)
q-tec 650w powersupply
The audio works perfectly in windows xp x86 and has done that the last 3+ years.
Is there a "fix" for this?
Thanks in advance

Oh man, this is quite some time ago that I could do this...
here it comes, BRASE YOURSELVES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
EVERYBODY GET OF THIS FORUM NOW!!
THERE IS A FIRE HAZARD!!
A Q-TEC POWER SUPPLY HAS BEEN SPOTTED!!
LEAVE NOW, WHILE YOU CAN!!!!
Man, that's quite some time ago I could do this...
I know, you may find it a bit overdone but really, a Q-Tec PSU is just one piece of junk. It's just some componetns thrown into a box and then they call it a power supply. Did you actually feel the weight of that thing? I bet you didn't. It weighs nothing, so you can't even use it as a door stop or paerweight.
Really, shut down your pc, take it out and throw it away. Be careful not to hit someone while doing that. (I mean, throw it in the bin or take it back to the guy who sold you this thing).
Get a good power supply. One with enough juice on the 12V-line. Take a psu with one 12V-rail. A good psu will cost you, but you will most certainly notice the difference.

Cannot install Windows XP Professional on my MacBook Pro using Boot Camp.

Cannot install Windows XP Professional on my MacBook Pro using Boot Camp. When I get to the point of inserting the Windows disc and clicking 'Install' at the Boot Camp Assistant screen, it keeps telling me that it cannot find the Install Disc. The installation disc I am using is a new full install disc. I have tried to do the same thing using a Windows 7 disc with the same results. Does anyone have any answers. I am getting desperate!

Reading the entire post is your friend:

Perhaps you could offer a suggestion then.

Fresh Install Windows 7 x64 IE 9 Flash Player Crash

Greetings All,
I am working on a major imaging prject for my organization. I'm getting ready to create a new image for some of our machines so I was getting the reference computers ready. I have noticed that when flash player is enabled in IE 9 it crashes the browser. I get the "Internet Explorer has stopped working" error. I can click the close program button, IE will try to launch the same page again and i get the error again with a bar on the bottome of the IE window stating "A problem with this webpage caused Internet Explorer to close and reopen the tab". After a few rounds of this I get the "Internet Explorer has stopped trying to restore this website." This is occuring on two different machines that I have been preping.
Here are the details of what I have done to these machines: (Dell E6420 and Dell E6320)
1. Installed Windows 7 x64 from install media (blanked the drive so fresh install)
2. Installed SEP 11.0.6200.754
3. Installed all drivers fresh off of Dell's website.
4. Installed Office 2010.
5. Ran and updated EVERYTHING from MICROSOFT update, SP1 and IE 9 included.
6. Went to Adobe.com and installed the latest Acrobat, Flash, and Shockwave Player from the links on the main page.
7. Rebooted and now anytime I go to any page with Flash objects I get the above error.
Here are version:
Windows 7 x64 SP1
IE 9.0.8112.16421
Shockwave Flash Object (Enabled in Manage Add-ons) 10.2.159.1
As said these are two brand new machines, two fresh loads, two batches of software fresh from the web, and two machines having unacceptable problems when Flash is installed. What's up here?
Many Thanks for your time!

I’m going to take a moment and do two things, bump the thread, and provide a short synopsis on where we stand on this issue.
After much trial and error and the help of Chris I can say with relative certainty that this is an issue with compatibility between nVidia’s Optimus systems and Flash player’s hardware acceleration feature. I don’t know if the issue is just IE9 or IE8. I haven’t taken the time to try this on an Optimus system with IE 8 yet. If someone out there is running one of the Optimus enabled laptops with IE8 and the latest flash installed I would love to hear some feed back.
Ultimately IE8 vs. IE9 is an inconsequential issue. Soon Microsoft will start pushing IE 9 as an important update meaning that the problem will need to be fixed or we’ll be faced with more users having the problem.
I have posted about the issue in the nVidia forums, Dell forums, and Adobe forums. Please find the links to the threads below. I don’t believe the issue to be unique to just the two Dell models that I am dealing with. I have run across numerous complaints along this line from several different OEMs.
Here are some links of interest if you want to research and lend your voice to the cause:

I cannot install windows 8.1 on my Envy touchsmart 15 notebook pc

I cannot install windows 8.1 on my Eny touchsmart 15 notebook pc. My current operating system is win 8. After going throught the setup and about 35% of the drivers load, I get a black screen and the install quits. I have left it on all night and still no installation. I am not sure what to do next. I have all my drivers up to date, have stopped my backup system, unplugged all my external items and stopped my firewall and antivirus.

Wish you luck. You are in good company. None of the HP ENVY series appears to be able to upgrade to Windows 8.1 and no one at HP appears to know why. In additgion, if you have looked lately, you may even find that there are no longer any drivers listed for Windows 8x64 either. Only a place to click to order (and pay for I presume) a Restore DVD. Interesting choice of options considering the TouchSmart Windows 8 x64 models do not even have a DVD player to restore From in the first place.
HP definately dropped the ball on this one a it loks like they are not even going to provide solutions for those of us under Warranty.
Error codes I get are 0xC1900101 and 0x40019
I have read others saying it is a hardware problem but HP refuses to do anything about it

T430 cannot install Windows 8.1

I cannot install Windows 8.1. I have a T430. I go into the app store, start installing 8.1, it downloads, starts installing, and fails just after that point -- at 54% -- with the error message 0x80070002. That apparently means "File not found", but the Windows Update logs don't point to which file is not found, only giving:
WARNING: CSerializationHelper:: InitSerialize failed : 0x80070002
Going into Event Viewer gives the equally cryptic "English ESD Bundle Parent" as a possible cause for the failure.
SFC and chkdsk do not report anything out of the ordinary.
I'm at a loss. Help is very appreciated.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Run the Fix-It tool in standard mode
Then try again
If still not working try aggressive mode
Try again
