I am tired of seeing the useless Sony software and wanted to configure it just right without things like MS works installed by default (who on earth uses that now?). When i reboot, wipe the RAID array and make it MIRRORED all is good. Problem is when I boot off the MS Vista media it loads fine but cannot interact with the SATA Raid drives. I used the Sony drivers for Intel SATA RAID but with no luck, I get an error code on enabling the drivers. Has anyone come across this problem before? Right now I am stuck with a non working laptop for Windows Vista - its very odd.<BR /><BR />Appreciate all your help<BR />Z<BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Wed, 15 Apr 2009 10:32:02 GMT zedstar 2009-04-15T10:32:02Z Sony AR71S Fresh Install - Windows Vista https://community.sony.fr/t5/pcs-accessories/sony-ar71s-fresh-install-windows-vista/m-p/18999#M54641 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Hi Guys - I am trying to install windows vista from fresh using Windows Vista CD on my AR71S.
