I have ditched a previous attempt of Vista upgrade from XP Home in favour of
a clean install. It seems that I am stuck with the dreaded combination of a
Vista install on an ICH8R controller. I have read all the links I can search
and tried every suggestion including one from the reputable Intel whose chip
my board uses. Nothing has worked and the well-published failures have
materialized.
Has anyone clean-installed Vista on this this particular mainboard with
raptor drives configured for Raid/AHCI? I'm afraid going back to IDE just
gives me two small drives which Vista tells me doesn't meet the specification
for install. I am using drivers supplied from both the mainboard supplier
and Intel's latest version which they claim over comes a debilitating change
Microsoft made to AHCI spec'd drivers for drives using LPM. Neither works.
