Asus P4P800 +driver problem

[darktip]

HI,
I just got A WD Raptor 10,000rpm. Where do I get the SATA Raid drivers for the Asus P4P800 deluxe motherboard?

There should be a driver disk in the box that your board came in. Otherwise you can download them from Asus' Web site.

Yes I do have the Driver cd.

can you tell me what it is called or the name of the file?

thanks

Serial ATA drivers come on a floppy disk. You'll need that if you're going to install Windows onto the Raptor. When XP/2000 boots off the CD, there will be an option that flashes on the screen that says "press F6 to install a third party SCSI or RAID controller." Do that (hit F6 multiple times when it's available) and let the installer copy the necessary files, then a prompt will come up to have you insert the SATA floppy. Continue through the prompts and then install as normal.

when i bought my Asus p4p800-deluxe from Newegg.com I did not get a floppy disk with it...... Somebody said asus.com has the driver for download but I need to know the name of it?

WHAT IS THE NAME OF THE FILE?????

whoa nelly m8... calm down... we don't get paid to help people out so there is no need to shout..

normally the s-ata raid controller is built onto the Intel ICH5R southbridge... ergo you need to go to intel to download the driver... or get a file from asus for the same thing... the following dl link has the file else you can go to www.intel.com and try dl'ing it from there...

ftp://ftp.asus.com/pub/ASUS/misc/utils/iaa35r.zip

that should be the file you are looking for...

description is : Intel(R) Application Accelerator RAID Edition 3.5R for Windows 2000/XP

this LINK (http://www.asus.com/support/download/item.aspx?ModelName=P4P800%20Deluxe&Type=Latest) contains all the dl's for your motherboard

after dl'ing... extract the file... there is a a file called "MakeDisk.exe." Run that and it will make a floppy with what you need and you are good to go... thats what I did for my mobo when updating...
