need raid drivers for Asus A8v and asusa8n sli deluxe

Does anyone know where to find raid drivers that I would load from floppy
durring install process of Windows Vista? The motherboard is an Asus A8v
deluxe and the Raid drives are on the FastTrak 378. Also there's the sil
raid, but my drives aren't on that. I looked at asus web site and they don't
have anything for vista for any of their products. I even went to promise
web site too and didn't find anything for fastrak 378 in anyform, like it
didn't even exist.

I also would love Asus A8n sli deluxe raid drivers too. Not the nforce4 but
the sil one.

Thanks guys.

Go here http://support.asus.com/download/dow...Language=en-us and
plug in the necessary information for your motherboard.

Well thanks for the address, but as I've already said there's nothing
regarding vista at all anywhere.

I downloaded the raid drivers from asus for the A8N sli deluxe and copied
the folders to a floppy. It has all OSes including xp and 2003 etc. vista
said it can't find anything anywhere when i am installing vista. i tell it
to look for hard drive device drivers at that point in the install and it
can't find any.

Re: need raid drivers for Asus A8v and asusa8n sli deluxe

What? You copied folders to the floppy? What for? All I did was to extract
the six files to the floppy for my situation. The installer can't look
inside a folder or a compressed file. You have to have the actual files in
the root of floppy.

I see on the Asus web site there are RAID drivers for 2 different chipsets
(Promise and Via). Which RAID chipset is in YOUR computer? There are also 32
bit and 64 bit drivers. You have to get the correct drivers.

I downloaded the 64 bit since that's the vista i'll install. I downloaded
for the Sil since that is what is on my a8n sli deluxe. the a8n sli deluxe
does not have via. only the a8v deluxe does which is in my other pc. on the
asus a8n sli deluxe my raid 0 is on the sil not nvidia nforce4 because the
nforce sucks big time. on my a8v deluxe it is on the promise. both pcs are
amd64 3500+ on the a8v deluxe and the a8n sli deluxe is amdx2 dual core
4200+.

not being able to work looking in folders i guess is the problem as i have
no clue about that. so I'll take 64bit drivers and just put them files only
on a floppy. not just copy the folders. i had no clue about this.

If you are certain you have the correct download, just extract the few files
within the zip file to your floppy. Press F6 when instructed to do so. Then
insert the floppy when instructed. Choose (highlight) your adapter.
