UNSOLVED
nVIDIA RAID and VISTA
first the 411:
XPS 600 | 2x 250GB HDD | nVIDIA RAID level 0 [Stripe]
OK... New February CTP build 5308 of Vista... i have both 32, and 64 bit burned... trying to install, get to the HDD/Partition screen, Vista doesn't recognize my drives... no surprise... same as the previous CTP. Tried loading the XP RAID drivers manually. Vista sees the drivers but cannot load... same error as with previous CTP.
So i bring it to you... is there anyone that has the same or similar setup that has been able to get Vista to work with the nVIDIA RAID? If so... where did the drivers come from and how can i get my hands on 'em?
- Hello!
I have a Dimension XPS 600 to and had some problem with the install but now it works.
Do this and you can install Windows Vista.
copy the Nvidia XP sata drivers to the root of a memory key no folders.
Start the install of Vista in XP and during the install you can load the sata drivers. Then the computer will start installing vista and restart about 2 times and then you got Vista =)
Hope this helps you.
PS. it work with Vista 5342 to. money_for_nothi

I have the EXACT Same setup. From what I understand, the "complete" install works. The "upgrade" does not.To be honest, I have been working with Dell for over 1 month now, and I still do not have an answer. They even went so far as to tell me that they could not support getting me updated drivers because I did not buy my copy of Vista from them. So I returned my copy of Vista to Best Buy, and bought a new copy from Dell. Guess What? It still doesn't work!Dell....you guys are dropping the ball BIGTIME!!!!!!!! Are you TRYING to drive loyal customers into Hewlett Packard's arms?

Works beautifully on my Inspiron 9300 though.
