New RST Drivers 32 bit only? 10.1.0.1008

It looks like new RST drivers are out, but the download page only has the 32 bit driver. Anybody have any ideas why the 64 bit driver isn't updated?

Hi,

Just to let you know that I tried the 10.1.0.1008 RST drivers and my Win 7 x64 explorer started getting hickups and hang very often. I even did a fresh install but same explorer.exe hanging probelms would arise. Reverted back to 9.6 drtivers.

Season greetings,

Toby

I have a very similar problem, albeit with hard Disks.

Default RAID Driver 8.6.2.1015 as per Win7 X64 install is fine as is 9.6.0.1014.

Once I install the 10.1.0.1008 drivers, the computer fails to boot. It starts to & then no more HD LED activity. Just a Win7 Boot Logo still animated & no keyboard CAPS key response.

Sounds like the Optical drive bug... there's been a few cases of certain Pioneer SATA optical drives doing that with RST 10.1 drivers. Apparently The releases since aren't affected, and an official 10.5 release is pending any day I think...

If you have an optical drive, try disconnecting it so it doesn't boot up. See if you can then get into windows. Then you can either revert the driver, stop using the optical drive, or something i tested: plugg the optical drive back in once windows has booted. since it;s AHCI, it will detect and install the driver... from then on, I couldn't get the boot up freeze to reoccur. The only time it did is if you change the physical connection layout of the SATA drives.
