    Hi all,
    I just received my Z12 today! :)
    I am trying to start fresh and deleted Raid 0 array and rebuilt it.
    Popped in Windows 7 Ultimate DVD and created new partition for Win7.
    Here is the problem.
    Install gets stuck at 0% with "Expanding Files"
    I googled a bit for it and it seems like, Windows 7 DVD does not have driver for Toshiba SSD on my Z12.

    How did some of you guys solve this problem?
    Please help me~

    It should get stuck at that point for 10-15 minutes. Did you wait it out?
