I'm trying to clean install Windows 8 Pro x64 under UEFI and RAID on a ASUS P8Z77-V Deluxe motherboard on a blank SSD. I'm installing from an OEM system builders DVD. I plan to create a RAID1 array later after successful installation of Windows.
For the installation I do the following:-
I'm using these BIOS settings:-
SATA Mode set to RAID
CSM set to Disable
Secure Boot set to Windows UEFI Mode
I press F8 and select the UEFI option on the DVD
The installation procedure then starts but after the screen where I enter the language, country etc I get a screen which says that SATA drivers cannot be found and that I should browse to their location.
I have downloaded all the drivers from the ASUS site for this board onto a USB pen drive. When I browse to this location the installation procedure says no drivers can be found there.
Please advise exactly which SATA drivers the installation procedure wants and where I can find them.
Many thanks for help.
