Whether you need SATA drivers or not depends on your
specific MB and the BIOS. The Asus A8V requires RAID
drivers regardless of whether you configure a RAID or not
because the BIOS does not have a 'SATA' option. The MSI
K8T800Pro does not need a RAID driver if you set the option
to 'SATA' in the BIOS. If you have a RAID configured. or if
you just have the BIOS set to 'RAID' then you must have RAID
drivers.

So, it is not a black and white situation. Some systems
need the system peculiar RAID drivers to install XP or
Vista, and some don't.

I never "installed""SATA"drivers.
I had NO problem with RC1/RC2, both had built in "sata"drivers.

1. You need to install the SATA drivers before you continue with
installing the operating system. Press F6 when told to do so. Have them
available of a floppy disk, USB drive or CD to continue.

2. Try them. See if it works. Somebody has to be first! Then report
back here to tell others of your experience.

I heard that Vista RC2 can't recognize Sata HDD if it is installed when
starts system from DVD-Rom. So how about RTM versin?

And I can't find the drivers for Vista for my Creative Webcam Live and
Samsung SCX-4100 printer. Someone said I may use those drivers for Winxp
64bit, but others said it might cause "blue screen". I wonder which one
is true? What can I do?

Thanks.
