    Hello!
    At first, sorry my English, come from Germany.. Have one question...
    I have a rebuild D900T. And now, installed Windows 8 x32 without any problems. All is running fine..
    But i want to install x64, but cant, because i dont find a working Raid Driver... I dont see both harddrive`s. If i try the Driver from here:

    Software Upgrade


    RAID Driver for Windows XP Professional X64 Edition (Beta) Version 1.00.1.41

    They dont work. Windows said every time if i load the Driver, its not WHQL from Windows, no signature.. Thats all..

    Has someone an working Windows 7 or 8 X64 System on a D900T and can help?

    Thanx very much..

    The WHQL just means Windows verified it. A driver that is not digitally signed can still be used. Have you tried saying OK to the Windows prompt and trying the driver anyway? Or will it let you?

    Try this:

    Go to Settings
    More PC Settings
    General
    Advanced Startup > Restart Now
    Troubleshoot
    Advanced options
    Windows startup options
    Restart
    Click on ' Disable driver signature enforcement"
    Reboot

    Then try installing the driver again.

    Use raid drivers from intel directly as they should be more up to date.

    7 shares a similar driver system to 7 so often 8 can use drivers from 7.
