Hi!

Have DP55WG Motherboard and SRCSASRB SAS Raid Controller. Use it with 3 Seagate 1.5 TB HDDs as RAID 0 (4.5 TB Stripset).

I can install windows 7 without problems on this big partition. After Install when i want to use it the System hangs every few minutes for 2-3 minutes ?!?!? In this time i can not do anything. I updated the last bios for the motherboard and also for the Raid controller. Also the newest Intel drivers for chipset (intelinf), raid controller, lan, sound, . . .I also tried to change the Raid controller, the disks are new, . .

Had also installed Win7 on normal partitions with mbr (without efi support) on a 2 tb partition, In this case the same Hardware configuration works without problems.

Can someone help me ?

Also excuse my bad english :-)

Hi!

I updated the bios today to the last version. Nothing changes. The same problem is here.

I tried last 2-3 weeks maybe 20-30 times to install windows7 on this board, without uefi/efi support with a 2 tb partition no problems, but if I enable UEFI/EFI in bios and i make a 4 TB Partition, then I have this problems

System hangs for 2-3 minutes every 1-2 min. I tried also wit another SRCSASRB Controller, I tried with another DP55WG Board, . . . .

Is there any solution for this Problem ???? Any answer for this problem ????

Config:

Intel DP55WG Motherboard

Kingston 2x 2 GB 1333 RAM

Intel SRCSASRB RAID Controller

3x Seagate ST31000528A 1.5 TB Drives

It sounds like you need a proper driver for Windows 7 for the SRCSASRB, which it doesn't support yet -

Hi!

There is a Driver for SRCSASRB ! You can take the Microsoft Windows 7 Driver or I also tried with the Intel driver from http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?agr=Y&DwnldID=18439&lang=eng http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?agr=Y&DwnldID=18439&lang=eng

The same Problem with Intel and Microsoft Driver !

Hi!

"It sounds like you need a proper driver for Windows 7 for the SRCSASRB, which it doesn't support yet"

Take a look here:

But I tried with the original Microsoft driver and also with the last Intel driver, the same Problem.
