Hi

I'm having major prob's with a Silicon Image Sil 0680 raid controller in that I can't get it intalled in XP. I've tried the drivers which come with the card and also the latest ones I can find frim Silicon's website.

Everytime I go through the driver install I get an error that the data is invalid.

Well I'm stuck - Anyone got any idea's ?????

Thanks,

James

I also get this error when try to setup the card as a normal controller. Again I have tried a number of differnet drivers to get around - alas no luck

Try a different PCI slot.

Do you have Sp1 installed, I have been using this card for over 12 months and have never had a problem with it in Windows XP. In Windows 2000, I had the problems described here and the only way I could get around it was to reinstall Windows 2000 and press F6 at the start of the text phase of the install and install the drivers then.

I certainly do have sp1 fow xp installed. I think I'll try Marsden option of a differnet PCI slot and then report back. I really don't want to have to rebuild

Hi!

I've found the correct driver at the Silicon web site. The XP recognised my 0680 RAID controller. Try this link:

http://12.24.47.40/display/2/kb/article.asp?aid=10020

I downloded and installed the 0680a_rdrv1017.zip file.

Ups, one more mark. After restart the Windows, it was terrible slow. Nearly unworkable. So be careful with this driver, is seems it is not as good as I thought.

And, does somebody know, why it slows down the windows?

i use the attached dirvers and have no problems.

use in silent install as part of winnt.sif

since u got windows installed already windows key + pause break,

hardware,devie manager then right click on the device and go to udate drivers.
