Hi All

I really hope you can help me with this.

I have a MSI (yes I regret it) K8T Neo mobo – when I try to install Vista it
won’t see my SATA Hard drives – as expected but the problem is it wont
recognize the Promise Raid drivers either.

First I tried loading the promise drivers (Promise fast track 376/378) and
it didn’t even see the drivers.

Second I tried copying the Win XP drivers to the root directory of the
floppy – it saw them but when I selected the Promise fast track 376/378
driver to install it gave me the Following message:
“The [WinXP Promise FastTrack 376/378 ™ Controller (A:\fasttx2k.INF)] device
driver could not be installed. Make sure the driver files are correct and
located on the driver instillation media.â€

Third I tried downloading the updated drivers from MSI and repeated one and
two with those drivers – same result with the same message.

Fourth I tried deleting the textsetup.oem as suggested in another thread -
same result with the same message.

And lastly – AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.

These drivers are correct and work fine with Win XP as I have just installed
on a second hard drive and had to install them on the F6 prompt.

Any help would be really appreciated.

Try burning the drivers to the ROOT DIRECTORY of a CD or a floppy and
Install Vista via boot-up, not upgrade. WHen it asks for the drivers put in
your CD / USB key / Floppy and then select the appropriate driver. Get the
drivers from www.promise.com

Download the ones for FastTrak and then burn the contents of the WinXP
folder onto a CD. This has worked for people I have heard but I am still
hvaing trouble installing Vista 32-bit with my Ultra 100 TX2 controller
(another driver from Promise)
