Trying to install Windows 7 Ultimate x64 on an ASUS M5A97 mobo with AMD SB850 RAID, two WD 750GB drives configured as RAID 0. No drives are recognized by W7 install, so I choose Load Drivers. I put the drivers on a USB stick. Install finds the drivers there, starts loading them, then comes back with 'Installing an unsigned 64 bit driver is not supported and may result in an unstable Windows installation.' Round and round she goes.
I downloaded the latest drivers from ASUS website. I'm willing to take the chance on loading an unsigned driver Bill Gates! I saw other posts on here that recommend clicking Repair instead of Install, but I don't see where that option is. All I am given as options is Upgrade or Install. Choosing upgrade tells me to boot Windows first.

But this is a brand new install so. I see this problem has been ongoing for at least the last 18 months; surely someone has a solution that actually works?ETA: I just found the disk for Windows 7 Ultimate x64 with Service Pack 1. I was hoping this obvious Microsoft issue might have been fixed but (drum roll please) - NO!!! BTW the ASUS drivers are WHQL. GhislainG/RetiredChief - I did download those drivers on the AMD site; unfortunately, those are post-install drivers. They don't have a method of e.g. Putting them on a USB stick and having the OS installer load them from there.RetiredChief - The message is not a warning that can be bypassed, otherwise I would have gladly 'taken the chance'.
But it is apparently a fatal error.I also tried using F8 during boot of the install and chose 'Disable Signed Driver Requirement' as my boot option, but that didn't work either (same result). So I decided on a new course. I changed the BIOS back to the default mode of AHCI. W7 didn't even ask me for a driver!
And it 'sees' both disks! It appears that the AHCI and RAID drivers are identical, so I'm going ahead with the install, then I will use Clonezilla to image the install, set the BIOS back to RAID, and restore the image. I'm hoping that will work (fingers crossed). If not, I'll be calling Microsoft support, which means ponying up my credit card until they finally admit it is their issue and refund it.;-(.
I found a solution to this problem that will hopefully work for most. Some skill is necessary since it is a bit complicated. The component to make this work is an extra harddrive not essential to setting up the RAID array. I found a solution to this problem that will hopefully work for most.

Spent 2-1/2 days trying everything imaginable. Even starting with xp64 (couldn't get Raid drivers to work properly with it either). Absolutely ridiculous this is the only way to do a fresh install onto a Raid.Oh, and make sure your base install drive is set as the FIRST BOOT DEVICE, or W7 won't install.Thank-you for posting a valid 'work-around'.AMD M5A97 LE R2.0(AMD SB950 Raid Controller)Sandisk 240GB drives Raid0. I've been dealing with the same problem on a Gigabyte GA-970A-UD3 motherboard. I downloaded the latest SATA Raid drivers from the Gigabyte site, extracted the file to a floppy. During the Windows 7 install when prompted to browse for drivers I browsed to the floppy, selected the W7 x64 SATA driver and it would not install. So, I went to the AMD site and downloaded the SB970 drivers.
Extracted the SATA Raid drivers to the floppy, started the Win7 installed and selected the Win7 x64 driver that was downloaded from the AMD site and it worked. Afterwards, I compared the files that were downloaded from the Gigbyte site and the AMD site and there was an additional.inf file that was downloaded from the AMD site that was not in the file downloaded from the Gigabyte site nor was it on the Gigabyte driver disk. The additional.inf file that was part of the AMD drivers is nodrv.inf. This file has to be the difference maker in setting up the SATA Raid with the Raid option set in BIOS.

I'm an experienced IT professional and familiar with RAID configuration in server environments. It did not help me when trying to assist my 15 year old with his second built and a motherboard replacement - with the primary intent of adding RAID support for his OS and data volumes. We went with a gigabyte / amd solution, moving away from an intel-based solution.I spent 2 days reading forum posts and fearing I was going to have to go the clonezilla route - which is not the end of the world, but very inelegant for something that should work out of the box (as it did for my last intel-based motherboard build).In the end, the answer was simple, but not made apparent by gigabyte, amd, or many of the forum posts.Here it is:1.
Insert your fresh OS drive (assuming RAID 0 or 1 is your goal, I suggest only inserting one and not both of the drives you intend to RAID so you know which you're working with)2. Activate RAID in the BIOS and reboot3. Ctrl+F when the RAID BIOS setup screen appears (hold Ctrl+F down as it seems to blow by a momentary press)4. Configure the drive as RAID Ready5.
Install Windows, Select to install latest AMD RAID drivers (download these and expand to USB in advance)6. Install RAID Xpert in Windows7.

Shut down and install second hard drive8. Go to and read the simple instructionsa. The simple instructions are essentially to start RAID Xpert, verify you see your logical volume containing your single RAID Ready disk and your newly inserted second disk that you want to add to the RAID array (logical disk); select the logical volume, click the migrate tab, select the new disk you want to add, and OK. Screen will show progress as it adds the second drive.HTH.
