So did they fix RAID yet?


Recommended Posts

So has Microsoft put away their collective bong and deigned to support RAID in Vista yet? I am betting not. This will be a major problem by the end of 2006 as most computers will have RAID enabled by default and Windows won't even support them. Right now, it doesn't even give a comprehensible error (as of Beta 1) it just blue-screens when it detects a RAID after installing from Windows XP and rebooting. Very nice customer experience. Also, apparently all the old 3.1 icons are still roaming around (according to Brad Wardell's latest set of screenshots, where even he complains about that) and the new Aero has a Windows 95-style close button on the system-common File Save dialog (how pathetic is that). I'm not even sure if Microsoft is paying attention to what a mess they are creating.

How many times must people be told, it's not feature complete, it's not polished, it's a work in progress!!! It's a BETA!

If it was perfect it wouldn't be in beta now would it? Let them bloody finish it first and then moan if you?re not happy.

It really amazes me that people are moaning about the Vista Beta having "Unfinished bits".:wacko:o:

It's a beta, then you mean nobody's reported this problem yet? Don't you think MS would get around to including a driver so people with RAID can test the system or would you rather wait until Final before finding out you can't install it? And then wait to find out that your motherboard manufacturer wants you to buy a new motherboard cause they aren't supporting "old" motherboards in a "new" operating system? THE WHOLE POINT OF A BETA IS TO POINT OUT BUGS AND PROBLEMS! Geez!

*agreed

Beta 1 loaded my RAID drivers upon install without a problem...

5219 on the other hand doesn't seem to cooperate, so I had to install it on SATA-150 HD
