Question
A user is installing Windows 7 on a PC with a RAID card. The user has verified all of the cables are connected correctly, but the installation media does not detect any hard drives. Which of the following should the user do to help detect the hard drives?
Options
- APress F8 when prompted
- BHit the refresh button to force a re-detect
- CEnable PATA in the BIOS
- DSelect load driver
Explanation
When Windows installer cannot detect drives managed by a RAID controller, the required driver must be loaded manually because it is not included in the default Windows installation media.
Common mistakes.
- A. F8 at boot accesses Windows advanced startup options after an OS is installed, and has no effect during a fresh installation wizard.
- B. There is no refresh button in the Windows 7 installer that forces a hardware re-detection for storage controllers.
- C. Enabling PATA in the BIOS configures legacy IDE mode and is unrelated to a RAID controller's driver requirement.
Concept tested. Loading third-party storage drivers during Windows installation
