Vista - Harddrive not found - Promise FastTrak 150 TX2

I tried to install Windows Vista Beta 2 but I did not find my harddrive,
which runs with Promise FastTrak 150 TX2plus.

With WinXP I'm able to download the driver and install when I boot with F6
from the disc-drive. Either I don't have the correct driver for Vista or
simply doesn't work.

My XP 64 was installed on a ULi Raid drive. I installed a new drive for
Vista. I located the Vista compatible drivers from nvidia. When Vista install
could not find any drives I placed the floppy containing the drivers in a:
and clicked install drives. It worked great.

1. DO not use floopy.
2. Dowload from
http://www.promise.com/support/downl...r&os=100&go=GO
pick FastTrak S150 TX Windows NT4/2000/XP/2003 Drivers
3. zip to your harddrivers. then copy drivers from Win2003 flolder to your
USB flash disk root \ (Not copy whole floder)
4. when install vista , insert your USB flash disk, the vista will lord the
drivers from your flash disk, then vista will see your HD, ( of cause you can
format or just install)
5. enjoy your vista!
PS. worked on DELL WORKSTATION 670.

good luck your guys!
