It the ideal card for work stations that have a low profile and high density server environments. The Adaptec gives one the advantage of the system serial ATA channels by using complimentary logic on the mother board.

The card offers high speed scalability, cost effective and space saving features that have a hardware solution for most computers. The power consumption of the Adaptec is very low even with the addition of the eight port raid card. Last edited by nickuku; at PM. Extract the driver to a USB drive and insset to your usb connector USB2 , during installation press F6 and install the driver according to the on screen instruction.

F6 didn't work. Now I'm getting this message "to continue installation use the load driver option to install 32 bit and signed 64 bit drivers. Installing an unsigned 64 bit device driver is not supported and might result in an unusable windows installation. The reason is that the boot order list only has SATA 0 in its list of bootable devices.

That configuration works because the boot order list will look for the Intel RAID controller as a boot device and the RAID controller will use any of the available ports.

Otherwise your list looks fine. Windows 7 should have a driver for the RAID already, so you shouldn't need to get one. If it turns out that you do, go to support. If the list doesn't already show Windows 7 64 bit as the operating system, click on the link at the beginning of the list to change to the appropriate operating system. The downloads and drivers page will have both a pre-install driver and the Intel Rapid Storage Technology application.

It may be to your advantage, however, to go directly to Intel and find the most recent version of the RST application for your operating system.

The legacy method of loading a pre-install SATA driver involves booting the Windows installation disk and waiting for the F6 prompt at the bottom of the setup screen almost as soon as the screen becomes visible.

To use this, however, you need to have the necessary driver files available on something like a USB memory stick so you can provide the appropriate path to the setup application. View solution in original post. Browse Community. Turn on suggestions.
