I have the SiI0680/0680A 32-bit Windows RAID Driver for WinXP/2000. I have
read on many sites that this is the same driver to use for Vista. When
installing Vista, I don't get any drives appearing to install Vista to. Once
I say load driver and select the XP/2000 driver and click continue, the Vista
installation freezes on me and nothing happens. I've tried it 3 or 4 times,
all with the same result. It appears this driver doesn't work. Is there a
Vista supported driver for RAID SiI0680/0680A? I am using the IDE connectors
to both of my Hard Drives.

Thanks,
David Schaefer

i've had exactly simillar problem , the trick was , i had to use THE OLDEST drivers from Silicon Image ,

that is version :

1.0.1.7

download page (at the bottom of this page) :

http://www.siliconimage.com/support/...tid=2&osid=4&;

that works in Vista final Ultimate 100% for me , any other (newer) driver for my Sil 0680 is not being recognized by Vista - in my case - (probably due to old BIOS of my card or something)

try it , maybe it would help

It is wierd, I have it working w/Vista Ultimate and the xp driver. BUt now I
can not get it to see the drive attached to the controler.

The original driver worked, the windows update messed it up.. I remover the
driver rebooted and installed original. Still no good.. Vista Ultimats
seeas and installed the card, but does not see the drive . And ideas.
