Setting up Vista on a Sil3x12 RAID - please help.

Posted: 01-15-2009, 01:07 PM

Hi

This is my first post here but as I'm just about to start delving int
Vista I doubt it will be my last (by any means!

I have a moderately old m/b, a Gigabyte GA-K8NS Ultra-939, which has a
on-board Sil3x12 RAID controller running 2 discs in RAID 0. Previously
was booting XP on this array and I wish to wipe XP and start again wit
a clean install of Vista 32-bit. I will confess that I am wholl
unconfident when it comes to RAID installations as I don't know what I'
doing - think I was just lucky when I set up XP

Can anyone tell me whether the original pre-boot driver that I used fo
XP will function with Vista or does Vista require a new one? Does Vist
then incorporate this driver into its installation or will I then nee
to find another driver to run Vista

I've looked at finding the latest drivers. Gigabyte's site appear
useless as the driver section for my m/b makes no mention of Vist
drivers anywhere. Silicon Image has BASE drivers and RAID drivers
what's the difference? Only the BASE drivers mention compatibility wit
Vista. Does anyone have any idea which one I will need

Basically I'm all confused as I'm asking for help with getting som
clarity

Many thank

J
