I've been running Vista on my laptop since, well, probably before Beta 1 and really enjoy using it over XP. I, like other P5B-VM users, have had a tough choice with Vista though. Give up Vista or give up RAID.
During installation, Vista tries to trick you. It tells you it likes you and that, because it likes you so much, you can use your XP RAID drivers. It will do this just for you. You get all excite, slap in the USB stick (since in Vista you can load drivers from a USB stick instead of a floppy) and load the drivers. Vista is pleased, it has made you happy. The install completes, very success, everything in life is good.
Reboot....BAM! Blue Screen.
Reboot....BAM! Blue Screen.
Reboot....BAM! Blue Screen.
I even tried a fresh XP install and upgraded it to Vista. Upgrade finished.
Reboot....BAM! Blue Screen.
Reboot....BAM! Blue Screen.
Reboot....BAM! Blue Screen.
ARRGGHH!!
I sent steveb and email, explaining that I don't think Vista likes me as much as it claims. He did not reply. I think he was embarrassed I was sad, but now, oh yes, now I have RAID drivers for Vista!
Behold! P5B-VM WHQL RAID drivers. Get them before they find a reason to yank them.
