Farmerjoe Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 I've just bought a E6600 some PC6400 RAM and a ASUS P5N-E SLI. Now I want to install windows vista. So I put the DVD in the drive and begin the install but when i get to the part where vista is supposed to find some drivers, it finds nothing. It then says that I have to put in a media (USB, floppy, cd or DVD) with the drivers on and either let it search for them on the media or I can point out where the files are myself. Either way nothing happens, I can't get any kind of driver to work. The CD that came with the motherboard contains drivers, but vista can't recognize them when I put in the CD or when I extract them and put them on an USB key. I've downloaded some drivers from ASUS' side and also from nvidia's side, but I can't get anything to work . I've got 32bit vista so I've downloaded all the 32bit sata_ide drivers and also tried some raid drivers, still nothing works.Any help would be appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dimas2000 Posted June 2, 2007 Share Posted June 2, 2007 I have done multiple clean installs of Vista on SATA drives without having to first load drivers. Is the installation requiring that you load drivers? If not I suggest to let it run it's course. The only drivers that Asus provides are for the RAID controller (from J Micron) that are also needed for the e-SATA port (as far as I know). As I said, never loaded drivers and always completed my installs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
