Fast init or normal initialize for re-installing windows 7 H710P controller T7600
Reinstalling Windows 7 64bit on T7600 with H710P controller. Does the raid 0 that the OS will be going on need to normal initialize process or fast init? I can't get the drive to be recognized in windows, I've tried to install the controller drivers during the process with no luck.
No Events found!

First, the H710 does not support non-RAID, so you must have configured the disk in a RAID array (I would strongly recommend against any RAID 0 configuration). When you configure the array, simply check the Advanced and Initialize boxes. You don't normally need to wait for the init to complete.
You should be using this driver:
http://downloads.dell.com/FOLDER01382799M/1/Storage-Controller_Driver_0TM0H_WN32_5.2.222.64_A01.EXE
You must download and run this file to extract the contents, THEN place the contents on a flash drive. When it says it can't find any disks to install to, click on the Load Driver link, then browse to the driver location on the flash drive.
