Silicon IMAGE controller HARD DRIVE not found during install

Question

Sign in to vote
I am installing my system but in the beginning of the install it states it can not find my hard drives. I have 2 HITACHI 1 GB installed in a SUPERMICRO Backplane. The BIOS detects it on SATA 1 and SATA 2. I downloaded the latest drivers for the SILICON IMAGE 3114 controller for my ASUS A8NSLI board.

WHS is requesting the INF file. How do I go about doing this?

Thank you,

Abe

You can use F6 to use a third-party driver from a floppy disk, if you have that. If not, you could slipstream your installation CD using a free application called nLite. This will allow you to include whatever drivers you need with the rest of the default drivers that are loaded during the install process. Here are some links for you:
