Michael,

On the CD from the MB you should have a option to copy those drivers to disk
(or USB stick). Or use the 2003 server drivers form the website

When starting device manager from Vista you can use the update driver and
point to the disk or USB stick and let the driver be found that way.

That should get the device working. I assume you have a version of Vista
installed.

BTW, the option to disable the SATA (Raid) controllers are found in the BIOS
under advanced, SATA controllers, if you disable the SATA controllers the
raid is also disabled, or choose the "Emulate PATA" if you have a drive
connected on a SATA controller.

Thanks Ko.

But the problem is that when in the device manager, I dont see a device with
a ! which suggests that it needs a driver. I also dont see a RAID driver or
device in the list.

I tried downloading the Win2003 drivers, no luck.

In the BIOS, it sounds like as long as it is on, it works (Which is good).
There is one setting I am not sure of - SATA mode selection - PATA mode
(emulated) which is the default or AHCI mode (sorting).

Those are the only things to change, and I stil cant find a RAID option ...
