Hi
the controler is a highpoint HPT372, it´s onboard an Abit KD7-Raid MB.
In the instructions it says that you should extract the file to a disk,
using rawrite. When I want to install the driver during the boot procedure
the message "no image on the disk" comes up and the system detects 2 separat
HD´s but they are used as a raid 1 and I can´t format or partition neither
the first or second drive.
