I'm trying to install windows vista on my newly built system. When I get to the part to install the motherboard driver I cannot locate it on the cd.

My gigabyte manual say its under:

"cd"
"bootdrv"
"SB7xxV"
"LH"

but I can't find it on the cd.

Any ideas???
 
You use the driver CD after you install Vista. If its the CD that came with the motherboard it should be a auto run disk and you just pick what drivers you want to install. What motherboard is this?
 
Clean Install
1/ Turn your PC On.

2/ As the PC starts quickly insert the Windows Vista DVD into the DVD drive.

3/ If all goes well a black screen should appear with the legend Press any key to boot from CD or DVD. If you miss this screen just reboot your machine again.

4/ At the Press any key to boot from CD or DVD screen Press Enter or any other key to start the Windows Installation.

5/ Windows will now start loading files into memory.

6/ After files have been loaded the screen will change to a black screen with a green progress bar. Beneath the progress bar are the Microsoft copyright details.

7/ After a short while the language selection screen will appear. Select the desired language, and then click the Next button.

8/ The Install screen will now appear.

9/ On the Install screen Press the Install Now button.

10/ At the next screen Insert your Windows Product Code number and press Enter.

11/ Next you need to accept the EULA (End User Licence Agreement). Place a Tick in the Accept box and then Click the Next button.

12/ At the next screen you will need to Select your Installation type. As you are performing Clean install only the Custom option will be available for selection.

13/ The next screen asks Where do you want to install Windows.

14/ On this screen, bottom left hand corner, you will see an option marked Load Drivers. Click on this option.

15/ To install the device driver(s) you will need to insert the installation media that came with the RAID/SATA drives and which contains the relevant driver(s). This media can be floppy disk, CD/DVD or USB flash drive. Once you have inserted the media into the relevant drive, Click the OK button.

16/ The system will now search the media for the relevant driver(s).

17/ After the search has been completed the driver(s) will appear in the Select the driver to be installed Window.

18/ Select the relevant driver and then click Next.

19/ The driver will now be installed.

20/ If more than one driver requires to be installed, repeat steps 17 to 19 until the necessary drivers have been installed.

21/ After all drivers have been installed, click the Next button to continue installing Windows Vista.
I'm stuck at number 17.
 
On the screen where it asks you to hit "Load Drivers" go ahead and hit "Next" instead. It's much easier to install your drivers after you've already installed Vista.
 
Now I'm trying to build an array, problem is under "define LD menu" when I try to assign it, it tell me I need a minimum of 2 disks and I only have one. :(
 
I'm stuck at installing the driver for my computer to recognize my hard drive.

"To install the device driver needed to access your hard drive, insert the installation media containing the driver files, and then click OK."
 
I finally figured out what the problem was. The useless manual was missing a lot of information. It only gave instructions for setting up an array and then it told you to install a driver so that it would recognize the hard drive, which is totally incorrect. To set it up with one hard drive, you go into setup new array and select RAID READY, this sets it up for one hard drive and it was smooth sailing from there.

My new computer runs great.
