Windows 7 64bit RTM doesnt work on IP35 with 2x WD6400AAKS in raid0

[mahirzukic2]

The mainboard in issue is Abit IP35 OFF LIMITS. During installation, when it comes to the end, it restarts once, and then comes to a point where its "completing installation", and it goes on and on. It takes like an hour, and it reports some weird error and i have to restart computer. When I restart, i get raid broken. On both of the disks that the raid is comprised of, it says: "Error occurred", and I have to reconfigure raid. That is, I have to remove 2 raid slices I have (1 is for windows XP and 7, other is for data, btw XP works just fine, as before) and add them again with the same properties as before. I've did this 4 times yesterday (installing both first XP, then 7, and doing it all again when the "error occurs" on disks). Its ****ing annoying. Does anyone have a solution?

What RAID drivers are you using?

Not familiar with a IP35. What chip set is it?

[mahirzukic2]

ICH9R. Have tried using these drivers for vista 64 from many different sources, and many different versions, but to no avail.
